Its going to be the same as for the past hundreds of years.

Peoples of the Northern Latitudes are sent to war against eachother at the behest of their masters - for no real gain apart from preventing one group from becoming 'too powerful'.

The natural inclination of the European, American, Russian, Chinese people are to conduct trade, tourism, and breeding with eachother, and to spread civilization across the planet and solar system.

But it seems that our warlord controllers will not allow this.
If you're in research I would assume a deeper background or at least an environment where you are encouraged to develop your background. In industry, yes, time to value is important, but it seems clear that in some part of the market competition will require squeezing out those remaining % points of performance -- a company scaling up with poorer accuracy would have more problems...right?

Do you have experience in industry? I would like to hear more from your perspective?
I don't think that's true. Places that value individual and team autonomy can get that using agile techniques. That's certainly been my experience. Places that didn't value individual autonomy also got what they wanted using Agile™.
Some digging shows that tweet is totally misinformed. He seems to think that because niftygateway's json response returns an internet-facing url, that the underlying NFT must also be referencing an internet-facing url (as opposed to an IPFS url/hash). This is incorrect. The URL he's seeing in the API response is simply a IPFS proxy service offered by the NFT website. If you extract the identifier of the NFT from the url he linked[1] and plug it to etherscan[2], then scroll down to "trumpVictoryIPFSHash", you can see that the NFT is actually referencing the IPFS hash directly, and not the internet facing url. You can confirm this by plugging that value into an IFPS gateway[3]

Personally I'm a fan of fluidity. I have no problem with voltswagen as an aka. Why not. Brand names change, evolve.

If it is a deadpan joke, I kind of like it too. Overall, I can see no reason for outrage of any kind.
Vue.js Front End Developer
Congrats on the launch! I like how you approached adding Storage to the product/platform?, keeping the initial version minimal, yet polished.

I've been following you since the public launch and I'm really impressed by your work and progress. Definitely keeping an eye as you go, Supbase is a tool that could fit really nicely in the projects I'm usually working on (fullstack web, mobile apps).

I wonder what's your perspective on the GraphQL (and Prisma)? I'm asking, since currently I'm working on a project using Redwood.js, with Prisma on the API layer. Prisma helps a lot with my productivity, as my data model is quite complex, with many relationships/nested queries (read heavy). For the same reason, GraphQL increases my speed on the frontend, since there's just 1 query for nested reads and I don't have to play a requests orchestration game (been there before and it's really slowing down development, at least in my experience). The problem with my current project/setup is that auth, storage, realtime and queues/workers parts are... not ideal and fragmented, as I need to use different providers/servers for each (Auth0, Pusher, dealing with S3 integration, separate server for a worker, since redwood is serverless-first). Focusing on auth, I'm not really satisfied with Auth0 and would love to use something else but only if the migration effort would be worth it. And Supbase looks like something that would make the migration worthwhile, as it solves multiple of my pain points. That's the context behind GraphQL/Prisma question -- right now you're REST-first (which is totally fine, don't want any flamewars REST vs GQL) and I wonder how would that fit in my project, which is very Prisma dependent, with 100% GraphQL API. I have some vague ideas but would love to hear your thoughts here and how you think about GraphQL/Prisma + Supbase mid/long term. Thanks.

It seems like the NFT wouldn’t have much blackmail value if created from an image saved locally. It would be the provable association with the social media account that would give it teeth.
According to at least one German media site it's an April fool's joke that was released prematurely.

I've wondered about this. Is there a reason you can't store a text encoded image on the actual NFT?
> have a strong "US good/China scary & evil" tint

The US is imperfect and perhaps worse than (post-colonial) Europe in many respects, but does anyone seriously think that a Chinese global hegemony would be better? I understand that this is controversial and I'm not trying to agitate, but I am curious about who holds this position and why?
There are hundreds of studies investigating whether harm is done. You seem to be speculating without doing any research first.
> but also Turkey or a North African country.

What? Turkey is separated from France by half a dozen countries, all of which would severely object to Turkish forces passing through them, and other NATO states would also have severe objections to such a conflict. And no North African states have any significant amphibious capability - there is a sea between North Africa and France, you know.

> NFT's have nothing to do with ownership,

Exactly! Finally someone said it. I really don't understand these people selling NFTs of a vase or a framed artwork.

If I obtained that vase legally (by payment in USD or BTC or whatever) and it's sitting in my apartment then I own it by default. Someone else can have an NFT for it if that makes them all giddy and happy but at the end of the day it's my vase, it's staying in my residence, and I can do whatever I want with it.

Maybe I should start selling some NFTs for a blue pixel on my screen. Seems like a good cash cow opportunity since it seems that people love to "digitally own" (whatever that means) things that they don't have and that other people actually own.
I can recommend Norman Cantor's Civilization of the Middle Ages for a really great review of the different views of what happened during and after the deterioration of the Western Roman Empire. They range from "a time of violence and backwardness" to "a lot of people may not have noticed." It's really a great book overall and easier to read than you might expect.

He also wrote Inventing the Middle Ages which sounds like it might be more focused on your question but I haven't read it so I don't know.
If they did what you suggest, wouldn't you also conclude that they are doing it for the sake of (future) profit?

Irrelevant but ok.

>A conscripted army by definition has lax standards of vetting and lesser standards of training

In Switzerland:
"People determined unfit for service, where fitness is defined as "satisfying physically, intellectually and psychological requirements for military service or civil protection service and being capable of accomplishing these services without harming oneself or others", are exempted from service but pay a 3% additional annual income tax until the age of 37, unless they are affected by a disability. Almost 20% of all conscripts were found unfit for military or civilian service in 2008; the rate is generally higher in urban cantons such as Zurich and Geneva than in the rural ones"

>There's nothing magical about getting yelled at for 90 days that makes them less likely to solve problems with violence

You really think average Joe who walks into walmart and walks out with a rifle is going to be as responsible a gun owner as someone with military training? Also Basic in Switzerland is ~140 days for reference...
Slightly OT: Some similar services also expose useful data like if IP is a VPN, a threat/bot, hosting provider or ISP, or a proxy.

I always wondered where this info comes from, looking at the similar pattern I presume from the same provider. Is it a premium service from MaxMind or what?

Same comment as your other post, please see the FAQ
Yes, most of the issues this article has with PR branches and needing to force push them stems from the self-imposed "requirement" that they don't like merge commits and don't allow them. Obviously that will make working with PRs much harder than the merge-based workflows that PRs were originally built for and still tend to be best optimized for.
Why is "fake" in scare quotes? The accounts are fake.

Swiss guns stay at home as items for use in extrodinary circumstances. US culture sees guns as personal defense items to be carried during daily activities. So, in practice, they are much more availible for use.

The person with the server.
The New York Times published an article last year with the entire genome of the SARS-Cov-2 virus, with a breakdown of different sections to explain what protein the RNA codes for and what that protein does. Like you said it was amazing that it all fit within an [albeit long] newspaper article. It doesn't surprise me that the RNA for the vaccine, which only targets a single protein, is even smaller than that. Here's the NY Times article I was referring too:

> That doesn't make it any less wrong, but it does put them back on par with just about every other auto manufacturer in my mind. And it does seem (as others have cited) like there was some genuine change that followed.

Thanks for bringing that to our attention, but I think there’s a slight chance they might be aware already.

it's almost impossible to effectively regulate externalities in a global economy. Local regulators are not inclined to care about products sold overseas and all products compete with the lowest common regulatory framework.

All it takes for child labor to enter into the supply chain is one bad regulator and a couple levels of outsourcing. The final "complete" product becomes nearly impossible to audit.

> minimum wage is the equivalent of $1700 USD

Your first mistake is assuming you can get a minimum wage job for 40/hr (with benefits?). Maybe you can get 2 20hr/week jobs with no insurance, if you can schedule them right and travel between them fast enough.

> renting a one-bedroom, all in will cost roughly $454 USD

A room in a rooming house where I live costs $400/month, so I find this pretty suspect. Where is this extremely low COL city? Or is this assuming you have 3 roommates?

> With cellphone (250GB of 5G speeds) costing the equivalent of $15 USD, and groceries and electricity costing another $350, there's still plenty of space

$350/month for food seems low presuming you're working 40+ hours/week at multiple places. I'm assuming you're going to end up buying some prepared food at some point because you're run off your feet.

Your expenses don't include a car - does this extremely low COL city have an amazing public transit system that will help you get to your not-9-5 shifts? Or are you going to spend an hour waiting for the bus each way? How do you swing that if you have two jobs?

Assuming you don't have benefits, you better not take any prescription medication, or need glasses, or sustain any injuries. Even if you do, what's your co-pay like?

You still haven't purchased any clothes, shoes, any sort of entertainment, or enjoyed your life in any way. You need to wait until you're 65 to begin to live your life in any meaningful way, assuming you made it that far. And you certainly don't have kids to help take care of you!
Thanks for the first lesson, I'm learning C after avoiding it for 4 decades (because of Cosmopolitan/APE) and I really needed to learn how to make self modifying code in C.

I feel like authenticity of online communication is an unsolved problem. The web was supposed to be a democratizing platform: all you need to communicate with the world is an ISP and a keyboard. But if there's no way to control for authenticity, online sentiment will just be an arms race for who can pay for the best astroturfing.
It's OK, France delivers. France will go to where the war is; which is a lot harder than it sounds. There are very few nations in the world capable of sustained, global, serious power projection, and France is one of them.
Contractors are employed persons. They're distinct under the law in the US for some fully BS reasons but in every meaningful manner these drivers are employees - they aren't independent courier services that happen to work part-time for Amazon, they're drivers that only run Amazon deliveries but are forced to operate as an independent company for Amazon's benefit.

There are cases where the contractor style of employment is valid and advantageous for the worker. But when it comes to the gig economy contractors are CINO (contractors in name only) - they're employees that companies like treating differently to get out of paying insurance for and that's it.

You describe yourself as a type theorist but would pick go over Java even though it lacks generics?

That doesn't seem to fit.
I understood that you were testing a hypothesis. My point is that the test is only improving our confidence about LL questions marginally or not at all.

Specifically, you already have the premises that LL is about pointers, and that some languages are far more "about pointers" than others. Validating the fact that people talk about pointers in posts on languages that support pointers and that they don't talk about pointers in posts on languages that don't support them is a forgone conclusion.

Like, I'm buying the argument overall and I think it's a useful dive through history, I'm just not buying the test.
The Boston Dynamics PR machine is in full swing. A recent acquisition, the 60 minutes interview last weekend, this recent press release... Seems like they need to figure out how to make some revenues.

Yeah it's called a background check.
When I use a debugger I often feel like I'm looking through a soda straw. I can only see the state at that one instance in time. Just because I know the line of code where the exception occurred, doesn't tell me which data caused it, and breaking on exceptions is often too late. Instead I'm stuck hitting continue over and over until I finally see something out of place, realize I went to far and have to start over again. With logging, I have the entire history at my fingertips which I can skim or grep to quickly pinpoint the data that caused things to go wrong.

More fairly, it is a trade-off with the debugger giving wide visibility into state, but narrow visibility temporally, and logging giving narrow visibility into state (just what you logged), but broad temporal visibility. They both have their place, but I find that logging narrows things down more quickly, while the debugger helps me understand the problem by walking through step-by-step, assuming the problem isn't obvious once narrowed down.
Many medicines and some vaccines are given in varying doses based on the weight of the patient; as well as there being many reasons that one might need to use a different syringe or needle on a particular case than the standard kit has...

They sell pet vaccines in single dose kits; those come with a syringe and 2 vials, usually, and you use the syringe to put saline (I assume, some liquid) on the dried vaccine agent then reload it. I don't recall seeing a single vial or pre-loaded syringe.

I assume that's because plastic syringes aren't great packaging. The rubber topped glass vial protects from air better than plastics will.
Ok, so there isn't necessarily some secret sauce with Unsplash. If it all goes south after the acquisition, there's opportunity for a new one.

I feel like "self made" doesn't have a useful definition anymore, since people disagree fundamentally on what it means. Arnold Schwarzenegger for instance argues there's no such thing as "self made".
What's to say? The protests were against China's violation of the two systems agreement. There has been violence, detention, and suppression from China at every turn. Most of the protests have been nonviolent.

I think with major protest movements, the question becomes, is the cause worth the unrest? Unrest is a negative in itself, and always results in, at mnimum, damage to property and disruption of life and also more often than not injury and death. Some causes do justify some violence, but not every good cause justifies the unrest it produces. I do feel like China's illiberal and repressive attitude, including detentions, shutting down almost all forms of political speech, and, yes, violence do justify the (really, I think) relatively restrained HK protest movement.

If you're reading this in China, or are native Chinese, I ask you...do you feel there would be consequences for you if you spoke up in defense of the protests? Put aside whether you think the protests are a good idea or not. If you defended them publicly, what would happen? Whether or not you support the protests, I think you should consider that question, and decide if you like the answer.

And, yes, the US isn't all unicorns and rainbows. We may be moving in an illiberal direction ourselves. But we're not quite there yet, and there are still people here who can speak up, and even make a career, criticizing the, I'll just say it, evil decisions of our government.

Without pre-existing wealth, the "Money Moustache" paradigm pretty much requires

1. Get college degree enabling 6-figure income.

2. Marry spouse making 6-figure income.

3. Live off of 1 income for 10 years or so, save the second income.

Then you can implement Money Moustache style finance plans. Or maybe for singles if you can make 6 figures and save over half of income.

But yeah, on 35k it's not very useful advice. Except "get a degree or training to get you into 6 figure income bracket", which may not be realistic, either, given existing time commitments.
