You're right in regards to sample size.

However, one thing this argument often ignores is that the Earth is 4.5 billion years old. Life is 3.5 billion years old. The Earth was hot molten rock up until about 20 million years before life began.

So we went from Zero to Life in 20 million.

Once created it was so successful that it took over nearly every part of the Earth in a multitude of evolving forms.

It seems improbable life makes it's appearance so improbably early on Earth that perhaps the only explanation is that life isn't so improbable after all. Perhaps it's even highly likely give the physics of the universe.
I'm excited to finally see multiple actuators on the road map. I've always thought a single actuator was a waste considering you can practically fit two into a standard 3.5" drive without changing anything.
That's ok if you are happy with shifting the tax date. I can definitively see how this decreases the accounting burden but not the tax burden.

The PM1643 16TB SSD is about 7 times as expensive as 16TB disks. (2600 vs 360, euro)

The PM1643 actually uses more than twice as much power in use (r or w) than a spinning disk. Idling they use the same 5W.
There are voices on far (I hope) left that want to abandon evidence gathering and presumption of innocence in this case.

I’ve seen some people post things like this on Facebook and not realise how crazy it is.

> but most Linux developers don't reach for dotNet

On that note, how bad is .NET experience on Linux vs. on Windows? Besides the IDE (MonoDevelop is no Visual Studio).

I was about to dig into this topic soon - I'm particularly interested in how useful PowerShell is on Linux these days. On Windows, I appreciate the deep .NET interop it offers; I think it's closest experience to Lisp Machines that you can find in mainstream computing.

EDIT: Big thanks to the commenters who mentioned Rider, I didn't realize JetBrains had an IDE for .NET!

That said, to clarify my comment above, I'm more interested in the experience with the platform itself - how does .NET Core work on Linux in terms of performance, fragility, access to first-party and third-party libraries? Can I expect non-UI .NET code to port well to Linux? And, in PowerShell, do I get to do things like Add-Type "<insert bunch of C# code here>", or $foo = [Some.dotNET.Type]::new()?

> real pronunciation was quite different to how you hear it quoted in media today, e.g. Veni, Vidi Vici sounding more like Weni, Widi, Wiki.

What you call "real pronunciation" is the pronunciation in the Classical dialect of Latin[0].

What you hear pronounced most often is the Liturgical[1] dialect, which is certainly how I learned to sing Latin in choir in college (a secular school) and I'm pretty sure the Liturgical dialect is what's most commonly taught in Catholic schools. (I'm not Catholic and I didn't attend a Catholic school, but that's my understanding.)

Given the scientific revolution's roots in the Renaissance[2], I presume many scientists use pronunciation somewhere between Liturgical and Classical Latin.

git-autofixup definitely changed my daily development life.... I mostly use it with this Git alias

```

Works almost every time perfectly, and when not i always get a comment during a code review.
So should we expect them to roll out some community edition lacking essential features to kind of force people to use the (paying, closed-source) entreprise edition ?

Rossum’s Universal Robots: Potential, and the Dangers They Pose
They could just build their own LN replacement. Why be a cog when you can have control over your journey?

The reason why crypto people love crypto is also the same reason why companies hate it. If you give people control then companies lose control.

Think of a WoW cash shop on Ethereum. Blizzard would have much less control over it than a central cash shop.
Can I ask how you're handling customer service? I'm a one-man company and it's the most draining part of my business. It's so tempting to outsource first line support but I also feel there's some value in answering all the emails yourself because you know your customers' needs.

And I'm not sure how to even outsource support. Do I just hire someone part-time from some gig website and pay them for X hours/week? I think one dedicated customer support person would do wonders for my business but it would require about ~5-10 hours of work per week. And customer support is something you get better at the longer you do it, so I don't want to constantly hire replacements, especially if it's going to be just one person doing support.
The real one.

Officially this is an estimate, but having been where these animals live, I believe we can have an exact count. Keep in mind that when we say “globally” this means a tiny region straddling the border between Rwanda, Uganda and Congo.

We are talking about a few families of gorillas, some of which are tracked daily. There is a massive conservation effort on these animals, at least in Rwanda and Uganda, they all have names and I don’t think a gorilla is born without someone knowing about it

> Is bitcoin's value negatively affected by difficulty cashing out

If people can't sell isn't that positive for the price? The whole 'hodl' thing is to stop people cashing out. Since crypto has no inherent value, the price is reliant on more people cashing in than out.

> It seems significant that the lens galaxy has little dark matter

I don't see that in the article? They centered on galaxy clusters which contain huge amounts of dark matter. DM is needed to account for lensing. There isn't enough mass in the stuff we can see to account for the lensing signal.

> How is DM supposed to cool, anyway

It can't! The way that normal matter cools is by radiating (giving off light). Dark matter doesn't radiate (if it did, we would be able to see it). So, while normal matter cools and settles to the center of the gravity well, dark matter doesn't and (as you say) forms physically larger structures.

Yep, it sure seems like professional adoption of Swift on alternative platforms is microscopic outside of people who were already iOS/macOS developers. I don't think this is what they had in mind when Lattner somewhat-seriously talked about the "World Domination Plan" in the earlier days.
There are some subtle differences between tools that generate Docker images.

Isn’t that the point?
Even if you do everything right you can still end up hurting someone. And that should feel bad, regardless of what you intended. I think taking responsibility for that potential harm is just part of being a grown up. You have to accept your own vulnerability. And hurting others is bad regardless of technicalities.
> To clarify, using they mobile app will require paid subscription in all scenarios, I think (not sure, as I don't need that).

Nope. They've said they'll support opening a folder on a phone. Therefore, as long as you sync the folder using some cloud software, the mobile app will work just fine.

But of course, you can pay them for the convenience and they'll sync them for you.
I feel a better takeaway is "people are sometimes going to mess up, if you can do something easy to make those mess-ups less serious, it's probably worthwhile."
A token that needed a regular transfer of funds to retain ownership would be really quite neat.

A contract that showed I am the adoptee of Harry the gorilla, and provides a regular income for the charity. If I can’t keep up the payment I sell the token.

Fail to pay or sell the token and it reverts to the charity issuer.

Well, physical art reproductions are high quality already (I have some Van Gogh canvas prints I bought for like 50$ a piece on my walls). So you can't really say traditional art images are scarce too.

The thing is whoever is owns the original in some sense, even if you eventually cannot discern it with a microscope.

You're of course right, and it could be that DB being a compute bottleneck is the most common case - but I've seen or been involved in projects where the bottleneck was DB I/O and processing unnecessary queries, because the application was doing most of the calculations.
You're right. I didn't meant to say that Audacity isn't for professionals. But in my experience most audio professional (like audio engineers) pick (or get picked by their educational institution) a tool early in their career and stick to it. Most of the times this tool is a full-fledged DAW in which they acquire quite a muscle memory. So switching tools later (even for simple tasks, which don't require a DAW) comes with a big "performance hit".

First I heard of Beeple was like a year ago, on Corridor Crew: https://youtu.be/_ul9jrCXhR4

So when I read about some NFT crypto art selling for 69 million, I was genuinely surprised that it was at least someone I had heard about before. It’s not exactly my cup of tea, but I respect Beeple’s dedication to his art.

When I read this article, it felt less a critique of the merits of Beeple’s art, and more like a hit piece on their character. Cherry-picked are examples of past artwork likely to offend somebody, somewhere. In my opinion, art critique isn’t that hard, I even wrote about it here, https://wndr.xyz/posts/9fjM1tOJO7MWX4fYw3AU2Q==/what-s-art-a....

This however is not an analysis of the artwork, but a meta-analysis of the subjects of Beeple’s art. If this qualifies someone a National Art Critic, then it probably is “fancy-dancy elite art homo” thinking. But hey, it got people to click and read their article I guess.
Excel users yes.
My late grandmother worked with Atanasio Mdongo as part of his inner circle before his assassination, and later had to work for Macías Nguema. She was Bubi, working for a dictator that was carrying out a Bubi genocide. My mother escaped death a few times and eventually was smuggled out of the country to Spain. From what I know, journalists were indeed interested (in the 80s and 90s) but trauma and fear of repercussions meant few if any were willing to publicly share the kinds of stories they'll share on the dinner table. You also have to understand that most Bubi people in Spain are surrounded by Fang relatives and there's usually, even today, animosity towards each other. The diaspora basically hate each other and there are wounds that never healed.

Our most recent family table-top arguments on this "taboo" topic was triggered by the recent movie "Palm Trees in the Snow". I do think that these stories will eventually be written by people from my generation (born in the diaspora).
You can do that without the NFT right now with many charities. If you want it publicly visible you can tweet your receipt.
Energy usage is a recognised issue and while it offers challenges they are understood and developers are keen to address this. If you want to start deconstruction of the industrial military complex that would be just fine and might really start to change things, until then I argue there are more worthy targets for your ire than the energy use of an emerging technology.
For something like that, you don't even need flask. I use Netlify to host static pages for free. Spin up a little html, throw a classless CSS framework like Sakura on it and push it up to GitHub. Netlify handles the rest.

If you really want to not bother with html, you could write the site in markdown and generate the standalone html files with pandoc.

As to whether employers will care how good you are at html/css/js, your mileage may vary. Your site doesn't need to have JavaScript.

My site https://schwartz.world is really minimal, but it's meant to be a labor of love and a place to experiment. I can't be pissed to think about making it look nice, despite (or maybe because of) doing front end professionally.

Mediocre artist using cg as a crutch with a gimmick of making an image everyday- yeah that's called "work" and you are supposed to work everyday- I don't see what the big deal is. Don't we all work everyday?

Can I make a commit for 5000 days in a row then sell the text as an NFT? Probably not as I couldn't gain 2 million InstaZuck followers by creating commits with "trump sucks" and "whoa the future is crazy maaaan" as the description everyday.... or could I?

All the "political" art is lame. That's all future dustbin stuff. It panders to plebs who don't understand how the world really works to pay the bills, boring.

There isn't even any layers of abstraction like some of the animations by Svankmajer have, its just topical Murican dumb shit.

It's like bro art. You know those dudes...

Dude's who have "cool tattoo's" and pride themselves on the kind of micro-brew beer they drink and smoke hand rolled cigars cut with Damascus steel or some shit- those dudes like that kind of art- its embarrassing.

Also the Beeple dude owes the Cinema 4d and Octane render programmers some money- without their engineering his "art" would have remained like those lousy drawings.

If 5000 of those drawings is the requirement for making 70 million all the ten year olds out there are going to be rich.

I really like Ethereum too- makes me feel dirty when I interact with the chain now. We should ask Lord Vitalik to do a hard fork so this shitty art NFT thing never happened.

They can have a new fork for the crappy art- Pabst Blue Eth.

None of his art says anything other than "look at me", but then again he's a "designer". Graphic designers/Mograph artists have nothing to say other than "look at me" They are the narcissists of the art world. They are soulless.

If they had souls, and had something important to say they would make full length narrative works but they don't. They just make stupid faces and do the "hang loose" hands or whatever the fuck that hand thing is that people do when they don't know what to say but are trying to act cool.

They make lots of money though, but that is also boring on its own.

The future is so boring.

>and own assets.

Assets like Bitcoin?

> Bitcoin isn't pegged to CPI which means that it increases in value when economic productivity increases.

Bitcoin increases much faster than CPI, that's a sign of a bubble. The mystery is that Bitcoin survived consecutive bubbles. I can't explain it, it's what it is. The vast majority of alternative cryptocurrencies had one bubble and died after that exactly as one would expect.

>CPI pegged currencies move purchasing power from labor to capital.

This is the first time I have heard "CPI pegged currency"

I assume that you are talking about inflation. Mild inflation is actually a wealth transfer from capital to labor because inflation is in its essence a wealth tax. Labor is paid in current year salaries as long as you switch employers. You don't get paid 1930 salaries, you get paid more to compensate for the loss of purchasing power, you just have to ask for a raise or switch employers and that is the entire point of inflation. If anyone steals from you it's your boss. You know who doesn't get paid more? Capital owners, they have to invest productively and earn enough to beat inflation.

Your next job will pay more than your last so you should switch as soon as possible. If you were paid in Bitcoin then employers would have to pay you less and less Bitcoin per year because they simply cannot afford the Bitcoin since it keeps going up in value. So your best bet is to stay with your current employer until the employer fires you because they cannot afford you anymore. Ultimately you lose anyway.

Let's also talk about why high inflation is bad. Basically, at some point you have to switch jobs so frequently that you never actually end up doing any work, most of your day is spent finding a new job. Important work like food production gets neglected.
Headline of article: "Our journey from a Python monolith to a managed platform"

So... about this headline. I read this aloud to a friend at a cafe. We laughed. It makes perfect sense to us. We know what Python is. We know what a monolith means in this context.

To my other friends it was the funniest / silliest / nonsensical thing they'd heard for awhile.

IT is weird.

>Can I make a commit for 5000 days in a row

Can you, though?
It's one step beyond that; it's paying for some people on the internet to _pretend_ that you own the record. There is no actual literal transfer of ownership at all.
What would that achieve? If you're late to the blockchain (or really any other distribution channel, like https://truetimestamp.org/ or something like this) your timestamp is greater than original and you own nothing. I don't really know how selling 2nd place works with NFTs but I assume you only can get it from 1st place owner (he has to sign it with his private key), so the scheme is solid. You cannot change a pixel and claim something.

The only problem I see is how the 1st buyer knows the seller is the artist not some random dude who changed 1 pixel (or even didnt). You actually cannot reliably sell something that has been published before cause everyone and their mom can claim ownership before 1st token.

The dual-actuator drives that Seagate is currently working on still have only one head per platter surface. They're not putting two sets of arms into the drive like the old Conner Chinook drives [1]. Instead, Seagate's dual-actuator drives mean that the arms for the top 3-4 platters move as one group, and the arms for the bottom 3-4 platters move as a second group. They're basically giving you two separate hard drives that share a spindle motor, and are in a transparent RAID-0.

I don't think negative vs. positive is a useful bifurcation here, both for biographies and scientific results. I'd rather we do interesting/surprising vs boring/expected. In other words, can we learn something from this? There are biographies of "failures" that are full of wisdom and reflection, as well as biographies of "successes" that have stumbled upon the success without so much as a second thought, and vice versa. Same for scientific results.
