I think the hope is that Visa would process these transactions in bulk, not individually.
Not a macOS dev, just a customer. The thing I value about the platform is that there are lots of these so called "boutique" apps. Apps that do a single thing and do it extremely well, with a great, native UI, with Mac keyboard shortcuts and all the behavior you'd expect on a Mac. And since your average Mac user cares a bit more about the experience and aesthetics and is, let's face it, usually a bit more affluent than your average PC user, there has always been a market for those and it's become a bit of a self-fulfilling marketing. Mac users expect apps to be focused and good looking and Mac devs know that even smaller apps are viable on the platform if done well, so the platform is actually full of those nice little apps and people come to the Mac for the experience.
Never mind the question of why you think the Fed would be well-suited to provide micro-transactions, they've been possible via centralized systems for years. The issue seems to be there is no market for them. See this PDF for a theory: https://nakamotoinstitute.org/static/docs/micropayments-and-...
Strong disagreement from here.

I don't want that kind of stuff in bug reports for the same reason that I don't want to have to deal with "hello", "good morning", from coworkers in messenger applications, and I will assume that for your sake you don't want to deal with it either, unless you explicitly say so.

So if this is a requirement for writing and responding to bugs, then you should "say it in words" that that's what you want.
Nitpick nitpick: the html doctype doesn't imply UTF-8. Valid modern HTML documents must be encoded using UTF-8, but the standard also requires that the encoding be specified somehow.

> The Encoding standard requires use of the UTF-8 character encoding and requires use of the "utf-8" encoding label to identify it... If an HTML document does not start with a BOM, and its encoding is not explicitly given by Content-Type metadata, and the document is not an iframe srcdoc document, then the encoding must be specified using a meta element with a charset attribute or a meta element with an http-equiv attribute in the Encoding declaration state.

But if supporting Javascript kills all independent browsers, wouldn't it be better to have some alternative than no alternative?

Supporting a Javascript-less document-based web may be an alternative to creating an entirely separate ecosystem like Gemini. It's probably doomed as a compromise that pleases no one, but it might be worth a shot.
Worth noting that Netlify's CDN recently had issues. I do think Netlify is nice, but "production grade" sounds like something that might require two providers.

Yes I'm aware. The comment referred to widget removal in Big Sur though, and the only "widgets" I can think of that were removed were Dashboard widgets.

Big Sur/iOS 14 widgets don't support interactivity beyond single clicks, so I don't see any way a Numi widget would be of any benefit.

Of the hundreds of communes that have been started in the US, those that were just secular or political never lasted. And the only ones which flourished were religious. People need to believe in a higher power, rather then just themselves, otherwise their communities just dissolve.
How that's different from any other business? Businesses have to remove disruptive customers, fire employees, etc; there are rules about that; and somehow they manage.

Probably there would be exceptions for personal non-commercial sites and even small businesses. There's plenty of room for compromise between the status quo and draconian rules that shut down every website.
Thank you. Great writing.

I think the subject matter falls into a tricky space. You need to start with some sort of economist-ey bias to even think that bitcoin could be a battery... considering that it does not store energy or physically exist. Either way, it can be interesting to consider why or why not.

To me, it's interesting that this is a type example for mistake that knowing just enough economics makes you more prone to.

Anyway... I expected a bitcoin-ey article, so I came in with an eye roll. OTOH, I was kind of curious about the energy economics of bitcoin. You blazed through a great, concise explanation of the key facts en route to winning your argument. As a through-away, you perfectly framed the energy debate between bitcoin and etherium's approaches... trying not to start a fight with either of them before you finish the previous one.
Wait. If we are an algorithm, then it is repeatable, yes? Suppose we have something like a StarTrek food generator, but for us, brain, wetware, everything that occupies physical space, and then apply the algorithm. Are you sure that will duplicate yourself? Your memories, how you walk, your predilection to turn left, and reach for something yellow? (all made-up examples, of course). That a stroke can alter personalities and choices, or put memories out of reach, all in the same body, makes me think that there is something more than an algorithm that ties the whole together, I don't know if it's consciousness, but I lack a better word.

I read it for the first time about 2 years ago, when I was about 45. I don't know if it would be correct to say that I "loved" it, but I did rather enjoy reading it, and I found a lot of the ideas espoused within really resonated with me. All in all, I would say that I walked away thinking that it will get a second read at some point. Not sure that this anecdote proves anything, so take it for what it's worth.
Not sure why this is buried. Dave Clark comes directly from the warehouse business and has himself used the "people wouldn't work here if this were true" angle. Really tries to portray the warehouses as something they should be proud of, reality notwithstanding.
Careful that one has a bad design too: without an extension cable it often doesn’t work. I’ve read it might be because it’s not drawing enough power to switch on.

Yeah, I hear you, but this is where we part ways: to me it's not a matter of willpower, but rather one of - a sin, I know - pride: I can't bear the idea that I'm walking the path of my life using the equivalent of moral crutches.

As to your second argument: no argument there, not everything about religion is bad, even if, in the case of beautiful churches, you could argue that the way they were erected wasn't necessarily "ethical".
Can you image if the hull did weaken to the point of near failure? They might have needed to offload everything right there where it ran aground, lest it completely fail uncontrolled. The canal would be closed for a very long time. Luckily they didn't have to make that call.
Pretty much. 100%
Except that bitcoin has a settlement layer, arguably the most well protected one.

Etherum is so much more than a settlement layer. In my opinion the biggest potential for bitcoin is to displace gold. It's only ~6x away from eclipsing gold's market cap. After that I think the growth story of it growing faster than index funds starts to get kind of tenuous.
Just another anecdote. A large dose of LSD reversed the course of my severe depression. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it, but there are lots of things that a depressed person can try, and believe me, it's worth trying.

> "that you take your atheism on faith, too."
This is a nonsensical statement. Atheism is a recognition that there is zero evidence for the existence of any gods. It requires no faith.

> "Origen, St. Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, Kierkegaard, or even contemporary thinkers like Alasdair McIntyre ... should be super easy to refute, right?"

You're shifting the burden of proof; there is nothing to refute. It's not the job of atheists to disprove your assertions. Regardless of a persons' intelligence, they cannot argue their deity into existence. It either exists or it doesn't. None of the aforementioned scholars ever presented evidence for their god or demonstrated supernatural causation.
> Bitcoin is the reserve, while Eth is the settlement layer.

I think that's a Bitcoin holder's fantasy. If you're already using one chain for settlements, why use an entirely separate and unrelated one as well? Ethereum can be both. Actually, almost any other cryptocurrency can be both. It's only (original, core) Bitcoin that is so badly crippled.
Oh, doh. It's been a while since I read this and forgot you mentioned it there.
So let me get this straight:

You haven't used bitcoin in half of a decade, but you assume you have some knowledge about its uselessness that everybody else doesn't?
Thanks for the explanation. I would be a bit scared to have a recursive solver install my dependencies, but it's ultimately not that different from packages I suppose.

>Even if you had a democracy, there's a very good chance that the populous hasn't the faintest clue of what they're talking about, in which case the politician's next course of action is to allow their constituency to hang themselves or to deviate from their proximal wishes knowing later down the road they will be better off.

It should not be their choice to act as if they "know better", and in actual democracies it couldn't be (they were taken out of duty and/or punished for such acts).

Besides, more often than not it's not about them "knowing better" but about giving in to this or that private interest of theirs, or lobby, or deep state, or military, or big donors, or under the table or "barely legal" deals ("Do this, and you'll come working for my company on a sinecure with good money after your term") and so on.

Which is why this 180-turn doesn't happen just on some newly emergent situations that the politician supossedly "has better information", but also for things the politician themselves and the party itself promised to do in its pre-election program.
The nice thing about the Internet is that if the web becomes too unwieldy, we can always throw it away and start something new.

I'm directly responding to the claim that you can "write a compiler in a strongly typed language, and then remove all the type annotations", and that's what compiler architecture looks like in a "weakly typed language". Compiler projects built in languages with richer typing can and do use it for purposes beyond correctness checking, and the idea that you can simply erase all the types and expect the code to work the same is a misconception.

Hello, Assembly Retrocoding the Smallest Windows App in x86 ASM
I'm fairly supportive of RMS and his movement but are you seriously failing to see why someone who is not "woke" might have a problem with somebody playing apologetics for their friend for committing statutory rape?

It's not that his point was incorrect but it's rather the fact that he is clearly bringing it up to play defence for somebody's actions which were fundamentally wrong regardless of if you take it colloquially or not. You think an underage prostitute has 100% free agency in who their clientele are? RMS either does or more likely, he hasn't thought his position through very clearly and is doing a knee-jerk defense of a friend who did a bad bad. This is also not the first time RMS has made statements about sexuality that betray a lack of understanding such as when he defended necrophilia and pedophilia as ok as long as it is consensual.

I don't think he needs to be cancelled for this or whatever since I don't think RMS is of any real danger to vulnerable people and clearly his free software activism is still needed in the world but he absolutely does deserve to have his views questioned, challenged, and criticised.
Thank you! I am taking fierce notes.

I talked myself into one of his classes as an undergrad and definitely came away with the belief that he was the smartest person I would ever meet. It's been 23 years and that's still true and I'd take a bet today that it will continue to be true for the rest of my life.
You’re right, I installed it using TestFlight on my iPhone. I guess they don’t have a proper release yet.
That's a fair point, and I think I agree.

My stance was that 'cancel culture' as a term seems most often used to decry the use of the power of mob rule online. I think the criticism is fair, and we should be able to discuss the effects of such a dynamic.

I have also seen what I think you are describing, which is a sweeping under the rug of real issues underlying such an outcry, by dismissing it as 'just cancel culture'.

While the parent comment isn't all that helpful, I suspect they meant "...in exchange for a temporary change..."; in other words, not that that depression is temporary, but beneficial effects of ECT are.
I had the fortune of being in a Stanford Chinese language class with Doug in 1976 when was writing GEB. He passed around lineprinter drafts of chapters for feedback. I dont know if anyone anticipated the book would be a bestseller and win the Pulitzer. (Though mosts authors secretly hope for that.

Doug hypothesized that knowing a language so different from English as Chinese might shed insight on how the mind works. I think he went onto other AI topics such as analogies and patterns. More recently sounds like he is looking at Chinese again from his blogs.
> Membership in a social club can't do that.

As someone who has been involved in both Churches, Church-associated social clubs, and no -Church social clubs, yes, it absolutely can; in fact, what you describe is explicitly part of the concept of many non-Church social clubs, some of which evolved from (or in the tradition of) organizations which started as sub-church organizations within churches by which this function was more tightly expressed for members than in the broader church.

But even where it isn't explicitly part of the deal, it's very common to evolve as an implicit part of a social club.
I have a close friend for whom ECT has been a last resort for treatment-resistant depression, and who has found it very helpful.

> If you were unable to have children, the marriage should be annulled.

This depends on a lot of things. If two people get married, and one of them already knows that they are sterile or for whatever reason cannot have children, but they don't reveal that to the other until after they are married, that is grounds for the other person to seek an annulment. This is not the same thing as saying that the marriage "should" be annulled.

If on the other hand, knowledge of the person's sterility doesn't arise until after they are married, I don't think that's grounds for an annulment.
Presumably this would also be true of USB 4 and Thunderbolt 4 (both which support USB 3.2 Gen 2x2), then?
Thanks for the package / module / import explanation.

Re: URL proxying, this all feels ad-hoc and overly decentralized. I agree with your assessment that "rolling it yourself" looks simple enough at first glance, but after having so much success with package managers and associated tooling I can feel the doubt in my mind that a new approach won't just reskin the same problems. I see they've done some reasonably smart decision-making along the way though, so let's hope they walked down this logic tree and are happy with the likely paths
> Concrete example: It's always been cheaper to just buy the content you want to watch from iTunes, but everyone uses Netflix instead. They continue to use Netflix even as it has less and less of what they actually wanted to watch in the first place! In the battle of more expensive vs more decision making, more expensive always wins.

No way is that true.

A single season of a TV show varies from $10 to $20 on iTunes[1]. Movies are $10-$15 [2].

For anything beyond light viewing, Netflix is a clear win. Watch 2 movies a month on it and you are well over break even!

Now if you buy from iTunes, it is only pay once. But for people like me who almost never rewatch a movie, ownership is irrelevant. Streaming is a hands down winner!

This is just some philosophical mental masturbation and many others have done it better. To say everyone worships something is to conflate worship with desire, ambition, and god knows how many other emotions. It's all kind of silly and just plain oversimplification.
I suspect they mean the level of effort to get a working web browser, on an older OS, that supports current websites. Of course, it's not just security (TLS, etc) that makes it hard. Browsers are very complicated these days.
Neat product! I'm a novice in this space but I'll definitely keep eyes on.

Same here while working on a UAV even though the GPS module was mounted about 20 cm away from the single board computer. We looked at it with a spectrum analyzer back in the lab and the USB 3.0 ports really sent out some wide band interference that covered the GPS bands. Using USB 2 cables fixed it (apart from USB being really not great mechanically for a combustion engine powered UAV).
That seems like an overgeneralization. People are perfectly happy to buy low price things on Amazon or eBay.

IMHO, transaction fatigue swamps the effect of decision fatigue. Where transaction = the energy required to realize a decision, once made. See: PayPal's valuation.

If I was a driver constantly on the move I'd probably pee in a bottle on occasion too. I can be lazy and I don't believe that peeing in places outside of a toilet is necessarily gross, so I could see it happening if I was working in a residential suburban area with no proper restrooms at hand. If work conditions were otherwise good I wouldn't feel dehumanized or exploited for it.

I'm not saying Amazon's practices don't incentivize this or that they shouldn't be examined, but as is common these days many people take a paternalistic and dogmatic view that will not accept under any circumstance that some people may be doing this freely.
