> Just ask that bitcoin and other switch to PoS! It will not be immediate, so the current investments in hardware can be repaid, and there will be no value lost.

Miners almost certainly won't see it that way. "Oh so now you say that I can recoup my capital investment until 12/31/2024? Great, I will happily sign blocks that mark a transition to proof-of-stake." Miners would fork the coin at best. Or, rather, this new proof-of-stake coin would be considered the 'fork'.

Serious design changes should be proposed via the process. For bitcoin, that's BIP [1]. This is just wishful thinking. Someone who proposes a 'ban' and not a design change is not genuinely motivated to supporting a decentralized currency.

Why transition bitcoin at all? Just endorse PoS coins and if they're truly superior then they will take on more value and people will naturally transition. Metcalfe's law is difficult to overcome. However, the value should be apparent in an overall decrease of the network's CAPEX+OPEX.

Technically they do but I agree that these calls for banning Bitcoin because it consumes energy are anti-freedom when considering that its consumption of energy is a drop in the bucket in grand scheme of things.
My brother in law is an ATC. Didn't go to school for it, but studied and went through the training and passed the sequential tests required to get a seat in the building. He enjoys the job a ton.

Based on just observing him through the process, it seems like there's a combination of things that might keep younger people away from being an ATC. One might be the unfortunate politicization of government jobs at large, and especially how people like ATC's get affected during those pesky "government shutdowns". There's also, I think, the fact that being an ATC is more or less an "invisible job" to many people and especially college educated people. Also, the job itself can be stressful (but nothing like the horror story myths I've read about, apparently) and the exams to get in whittle down the herd pretty dramatically it sounds like.
Taking the scriptures literally and limiting yourself only to direct recommendations from New Testament (i.e. no backlinking to Old Testament), at the very least, treatment of women in New Testament is pretty old-school patriarchal[0].

It's interesting to observe the ways various Christian groups try to navigate their way around gender roles in their communities. You have a full spectrum here. From some fundamentalist US churches that will take everything super-literally, through groups like Jehovah's Witnesses[1] who sort-of take this literally, but make reasonable exceptions[2], through Catholics in Western countries, where most believers probably haven't even heard or thought about these passages, and any semblance of adhering to them is likely seen as more traditional than religious - all the way to lenient Christian groups that allow women priests.

In my experience, all Christianity is like this. Every group in every location[3] has their own specific understanding of which words are to be taken literally, which ones figuratively (and to what degree), and which ones to be completely ignored.

[0] - E.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1_Timothy_2:12, https://www.openbible.info/topics/head_coverings and related references - literally, women should not teach, not usurp authority of a man, should wear head covering when performing the subset of religious functions they're allowed to, etc.

[1] - If I seem to focus on JWs too much in this thread, that's because I spent 20 years being one.

[2] - E.g. over at Jehovah's Witnesses, there's a lot that would technically qualify as "praying or prophesising" where women are't required to cover their heads, and men are not required to uncover theirs. Also definition of "cover" is "with a hat or similar", probably not what the authors had in mind.

[3] - As I understand it, Catholics in the West and in Africa are essentially two different religions. The former, having lived with it for centuries, ignore or pay lip service to all the rules that the latter obey to the letter.
>The war on drugs

WoD wasn't started by religious authorities at all, but by (secular) technocrats. Whether the motivation was really public health or political persecution is disputed, but blaming the Church is just silly. Some quasi-religious justification was used, but that's just political strategy.

In my opinion, the best part of node is (or was) that it didn't adhere to the browser APIs. That brought in some fresh air, and gave us buffers, native bindings, streams etc.
There are many different ways to read the bible. Mainly, the bible is not a literal instructional manual unless you are a fundamentalist. And fundamentalists suck. For others, it's a written record of humanity's relationship with God. It's also a collection of writings from a number of different authors and genres - it has history, poetry, letters, and so on. The old testament was written by people thousands of years ago who had an imperfect understanding of God, nature, humans, society, etc.

In large part, the story of Jesus demonstrates how we should reject those archaic rules of our ancestors and act according to very simple principles; nonviolence, love for God, and love for all humans.
Proof-of-stake coins lack one of proof-of-work coins most important properties: censorship resistance.

In both consensus systems, a censor is someone that has amassed 51% of the currently available stake (in PoW stake is mining machines, in PoS it is outstanding tokens).

In proof-of-work systems, a censor can be unseated by censored parties allocating more capital to mining machines until non-censoring parties own 51% of all machines.

In proof-of-stake systems, it is impossible to unseat a censor: since it owns 51% of tokens, it will also owns 51% of newly minted units in perpetuity (assuming it doesn't stop censoring and doesn't run into issues that would end up slashing some of their stake).
I think this incident really highlights how easily the Suez can be blocked.

A well hidden explosive charge on a container ship in the canal could cause a multi-month blockage - perhaps longer.

It would probably be smart to dig a 2nd channel.

You don't really pull down code though, you pull down commits. I'm not seeing a case where you sign the attackers code. You might sign a merge commit that has an attack commit somewhere in the tree, but that's very different and much more easily audited.

Even if we assume the git server is completely malicious, I'm still not seeing a case where an attacker can hide a change because I didn't 'status/diff'. I'm open to considering attacks I haven't thought of though.
The unions are not the cause of it being worse. You can even make the argument that they are one of the causes of things being worse. There is no reason to pay $200/hr to dig tunnels, but New York does. There is no reason to have 3 union employees on a train, automation can do most of their jobs better. These are two that I see transit advocates bring up in the US as to why our transit is so bad. (They are not the only reason, nor even the biggest, but they are factors hurting our transit)
As soon as public coffers are 'materially circumnavigated' it will be a problem.
> No one uses 'working class' in casual conversation to include doctors, hedge fund analysts and lawyers.

Plenty of folks do. Yes, 'working class' is often synonymous with lower class in the US, but I regularly hear and use working class to mean "the class that is working". Engineers, farmhands, day laborers, doctors, grocery store clerks, analysts -- we all are working for a living, we are all working class.
As an employer, I like as many protections as possible; more protections mean less lawsuits, higher work satisfaction (in many cases) and less knowledge loss. There's a long-term incentive to have protections.

Regarding pay, I think competition takes care of that as well. That's why it's fine for a private business, they have a good metric for negation because they need "profit". It's why many auto manufacturers who had unions had to leave the states, but Toyota who was able to negotiate later in the union era is able to out-compete.

In contrast, the government has no metric for how much is too much pay for a given job. Further, the government union is essentially going to take more money from the constituents at the point of a gun (government's main purpose is a monopoly on force). I don't think that's appropriate.

Extremely beyond the point, but it's not about Lisp, it's about automatic memory management, and to lesser extent lambdas and pattern matching.

> which brings heresies like hating LGBT

This is funny to read because LGBT and a series of other movements cause me to feel much the same as I do about "religious" fundamentalism. Excessive self-styling and countering any adverse ideas with a refusal to compromise or cede any ground. Not tolerating adverse ideas and manifestations thereof in daily life but "calling it out" and attacking them constantly.

Extremism in opiniated/constructed ideas, polarized cancel culture etc has become much more popular and dominating in the public discourse and media than it has been for the past 50+ years.

I just don't get how fundamentalists can remain so busy going on about their fundaments. It's all very tiresome.
because governments love "the circumvention of capital controls" ?

I don't really have a problem untangling my changes into different commit. In fact, I often untangle them into separate pull requests. Though for very small changes, that's overkill.

I consider small fixes unrelated to my main change acceptable if they're in the same file. If not in the same file, that means they're probably easy to put in a different commit or PR. Which one of those it is, depends on how big the change is, and whether it constitutes a meaningful change.

Having to think about this after I've done the work has been done, seems to be the right time to think about it for me. Though maybe not for the author. For people who prefer a different workflow, I guess it's nice to now have that option.
The idea of hell was widespread in ancient times. For example, the Greeks believed it. They also believed that everyone went to hell. This is exactly the mythology that christians spread nowadays. The only difference is that Christians believed that the few who accepted Christ would be rescued from Hell, the same way Eurydice was saved by Orpheus (hence the idea that the church is the bride of Jesus). It is all a rehash of ancient myths.

I know, I understand. Societies become mafias and they start extorting high-income individuals to guarantee the peace and the welfare.

Yes, we should modify our social support systems in the direction of just providing housing. It won't solve all the problems, but for many people, it's a cheaper, more effective form of support than the things we do now.

An issue with a carbon tax as it relates to bitcoin is that it would simply force mining into more lax countries. The only way to discourage what miners are doing would be to lower the value of bitcoin.

Yes, I would. If there's some negative externality caused by activity X, put a price on that externality and let the market decide whether X is still worth it. Top-down bans and mandates and price controls and all sorts of other clumsy interventions in society destroy value and cause endless misery to humanity. What works is letting people decide on their own how to live their lives.

Economic pressures didn't inform any of that, you think?

Most people (presumably you as well) have undergone at least one experience where they were forced to sign paperwork that they would not normally agree to, except under those specific circumstances (kid/family/rent/gadget etc.) Signing a piece of paper under such duress does not sign one's rights away exclusively.

Ah yes, the old 'ephesians is mysogyny' out-of-context quote, which always manages to completely omit the lines which follow:

Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, 26 that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27 so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.1 28 In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, 30 because we are members of his body. 31 o“Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” 32 This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church.

Your statement presumes that there is something innate about religion.

There are billions of people who live completely off the line of explicitly atheistic <-> avowedly devout. They are by their nature not generally considered in such discussions.
If git plan helps get the work done, that's great for you. I don't really understand the need to dunk on git in passing (a lot of people do this). I mean, there is no demonstration that git, by itself, encourages bad habits.

For example:

> Neither of those choices are good, but git doesn't give us much choice.

and

> Git forces you to write your commit message at the end of your coding session - after you've already turned your thoughts into code anyway.

No, git tends to not force anything, it gives you tools to stash, commit, rebase, push, etc. you are free to use them at any point of your coding session.
There is little to none workflow made mandatory by git, which is how various workflows can be supported by it (github, patches over emails, git-flow, etc.)

> If you context-switch during your coding session, git is not aware of it. In-fact, git isn't even a part of the picture until after you've finished writing code.

maybe that's a problem of your workflow, not the tool, and again if git plan helps you with part, that's cool. This is however does not look like a typical git situation to me.

> The "right" thing to do is to spend time un-tangling your changes, staging them in groups and committing with well thought-out commit messages.

The encouraged thing is to commit early, commit often (http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~blynn/gitmagic/ch05.htm...):

> So commit early and commit often: you can tidy up later with rebase.

In your examples, my workflow would be to use git between each context switch.

> Picture the scene, you're in the zone working on a new feature in your codebase when you spot a typo and fix it.

magit-status, mark the line, commit it with a quick message "fix typo".
If you find that magit is cheating, then (1) it feels like cheating, in a good way, and (2) git add -p file is still quite easy to do?

> Then, to facilitate the feature you're working on you decide to make a small architectural change elsewhere in the codebase.

oh, let's git stash first

> Finally, before finishing your session you decide to refactor some code in one of the files you were working on.

Ok but first, let's do a quick git commit, then work on that.
Eventually I rebase interactively to write better messages, clean things up, then push.

This is far too specific. What if they try to 10x the price on the next contract renewal. Or change the terms dramatically such that it is no longer suitable for our use case.

I would want to have some sort of shared source agreement but that is still more restrictive than FOSS as the community can't work together to maintain it, so 100% of the burden of updates and maintenance falls upon us. But even this is wildly better than just loosing access (or being forced to pay).
I disagree. Communications is a core competency for public health. You can find it in the core curriculum of almost every degree in the field, e.g. [1].

What happened here is a fairly cynical culture of message paternalism that didn’t survive contact with reality and, frankly, needs an overhaul in my opinion. I don’t think it will get that overhaul unless people ask for it. In the meantime, its results speak for themselves.

Declensions and conjugations are actually one of the easier things to memorize though, because they sit in a nice table. Ive never heard of LSF, but my experience with reading Latin has taught me that a solid understanding of the grammar is critical because of the irregular forms and things like gerund/ives. Only having a good sense of vocabulary just isnt quite good enough for good comprehension.
I would a Bitcoin that this anonymous account holds a lot of proof stake tokens.
Not only is BTC not a replacement for anything - there's no real reason for it it use so much energy. It's an absurd idea. There are 1000 ways to print money and give it out. Making people spend effort wasting energy is just an arbitrary and bad way to do it.
Wikipedia disagrees? Yes, the colloquial usage often implies poor/lower class or physical labor, but it's not the only use of the term. (Just like the phrase 'Middle Class' has really fuzzy boundaries in the US.)
Since mainline protestantism is in full collapse, is it really true the progressive christianity has any chance of surviving long term?

Source is Anecdotal. I respond very well to caffeine, though I am a bit dependant on it. My wife, nothing. I can drink a Monster and feel good.

I am 6' 240lbs, she is 4'6" and 90lbs. I can almost microdose caffeine depending on what I am doing... Sometimes it is an energy drink, sometimes cold brew undiluted, sometimes drop coffee. Shoot, at Starbucks I tend to be a "green eye" type of man and laugh when they ask if I want space for creamer.

Unless I pound back a massive amount of caffeine within 2-3 hours of bed I have no issues sleeping; then again, I have never had issues sleeping and the few times I do forget and drink caffeinated before bed, it only delays me a few hours or results in me reading a novel into the night.
