Yikes. OK that seems like not a proper use of all this, then!! Seems like it would be more valuable to transact with just the artwork data signed by the artist's private key maybe with a bit of other metadata. But a URL??? Sounds like a lot can go wrong with that.

I wasn't aware of any issues with distillery produced hand sanitizer, real or scare tactic. There was an earlier issue with methanol in hand sanitizer, but I would have figured distilleries wouldn't have trouble with that since they already have to deal heavily with preventing methanol getting in the final product and it's a well understood thing

Zig won't dis-allow any correct programs, zig would compile faster, and zig does appear to be simpler even though in principle you could come across specific zig programs that aren't simple due to doing crazy metaprogramming.

If I imagine a world where Zig is 1.0, and has the same tooling/ecosystem as Rust, and I want to make a single player game from scratch, I would probably pick Zig over Rust, and Zig over C or C++.

> Curious. Did you skip this article ?

In this case no, as I did not need to click "accept" in order to read articles. With an intrusive pop up, I most likely would have. Overall, though, I'd probably need to make an exception for IEEE anyway as it hosts a lot of papers for my field of study.

To be fair, though, I'm not a hardcore data protection activists. It might be possible to start a complaint or check whether the website does tracking without clicking "I accept" (and I'm pretty sure most do), but unfortunately my life is only so long and the effect is probably rather small. I highly dislike that this tactic works for them, but I'm only willing to sacrifice so much. Also, I still run no script and ad blockers, so the effective tracking is hopefully limited anyway.

I feel you. When working on larger applications I regularly ran into this problem:

- Adjust code
- Adjust unit test
- send it to CI
- Integration test failed

And this was actually a good thing. Despite me being confident about my changes to the code and unit test I realized that another part of the app was failing subsequently.

Testing this manually, at least for me, leads to repetitive least-effort testing. Fill the form with whatever garbage it needs to validate and be done. It’s the shortest way to create software that sometimes works but mostly doesn’t. And those people who tested the same workflow upwards of 100 times by hand tend to lose their sanity at some point.
Yup I did the same.

I'm definitely burned out on wfh for a number of reasons.

Mainly, my productivity has gone through the floor. I have a significantly harder time focusing at home. Home is supposed to be my safe space where I don't have to worry too much about external things, but now my job has been brought in and I still really haven't figured it out. Surrounded by all the distractions I've accumulated. Maybe I have ADD, who knows. Maybe I should talk to someone.

I understand that there are people who are the opposite because they'd rather be with their families or not face an awful commute. I chose to live a block from the office to avoid that. Having a clear divide between work and play space was working for me.

At the risk of going off topic: it feels like modern day Apple's priorities have shifted a lot from the Apple I grew up with, and many things they used to put front-and-center are falling by the wayside, out of neglect.

This isn't some generic "they don't care about the mac anymore" refrain, but I think there is a major sea change underway at the company. I think I will write soon about all of the hints, as I see them.
Even not in a pandemic, the grocery store thing especially makes sense. You'll be touching products that will make it into somebody else's mouth. (Hopefully with a wash in between, but you never know.)

All your talk about scams is just completely outside the topic, you can totally scam people of their bank account on iPhone right now (as you even realized in your message) and it's done daily, you just ask them to create gift cards or wire money for the "taxman".

By the way, in terms of security, the iPhone isn't even the most secure platform right now, you still have tons of private apis, privacy issues and ways to snoop data back, that's exactly why companies ask you to install their app instead of directly going to their website because on the web they can't do any of that...

> And your solution is to drag iOS down to the level of Android or Windows? Who is forcing you? Why can't you use a dumbphone? Is this a "forced because I don't want to change jobs" thing?

Because even banks and government apps are locked down to these two monopolies, that's enough proof as it is.

> Apple owns your device is a lie, you bought it, you own it. Take it apart, take the LCD out and plug it into something else, see if Apple comes at you for breaking "their" device. They won't, because they don't own it. Turning "they didn't build it so I can run Linux on it" is not the same thing as them owning it, any more than Bosch not building a washing machine to let you run Linux on the controller does not imply Bosch own your washing machine in perpetuity.

You don't own your device because Apple can decide to remove everything from it remotely, can decide that you can no longer can switch it on if they wanted to and actively prevents you to see what it does, that's why you don't own it. You should treat Apple's device as Apple's property that could vanish at any point.

But C++ does have opt-in memory safety via smart pointers and RAII. It's not preventing all the bug types hat rust will, but it is. There is also tons of code written without it, but you get the idea.

Zig misses a lot of futures that modern C++ has without offering anything in return. Yeah, it's easy to learn compared to C++ and Rust, but what the point of learning it if doesn't offer anything new?

This distresses me greatly. Many otherwise great UI's and devices needlessly waste screen space and display tiny album art. Why? who wants a small image in the center, surrounded by vast, boring block colour. But even worse is Apple who seem to have taken a decisive step backwards.

I don't know what people want though. If taking 30% and paying £2/hr (I'm suspicious of this) is still unprofitable, who's to blame?

Is it the company, or the customers that won't pay enough?

Is it the company & customers, or the government that doesn't mandate a price floor so that all companies now have to pay riders more and take less commission? And if that were to happen, and all food delivery companies went under, is that a better out come for consumers and riders?

Something has to give—it's not like these companies are making money hand over fist—the customer needs to pony up for the true cost of delivery; they're the problem.

The Bitcoin network could happy live without those things, as could trade, but price action depends on them.

For example the 10000 BTC pizza was one of the early purchases. If BTC stayed at 0.1c then you could still use it and it was used.

Caveat to this is now the mining infra means that returning to 1c coins would kill Bitcoin as a secure network since no one would mine for profit - the only reason to mine is the 51% attack
I down own a sublime license myself as I prefer intelli-j, but I never understand the aversion of developers to pay for tools especially what is easily the most important tool they use.

"Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery"

Welcome to the club. As one that has been building entire enterprise platforms and adding unique features and functions for decades my vast experiences reflect that there will never be a shortage of people looking to claim others work as their own, even steal it to start another company as this happens very frequently yet just does not get as much attention as it should I believe. I have experienced this at every level even down to one claiming to have built and architected an entire company's systems which was entirely my own effort. I also have direct experience with developers stealing I.P. and starting "new" companies, being discovered, sued, losing the suit and then having their wages garnished for millions in restitution. This is sure to happen more and more as technology is built into all devices needed or not and thus business opportunities increase allowing others to apply those stolen ideas. There are A LOT of narcissist egotists out there and I would encourage everyone to avoid them at all costs as they are toxic to business.
It's kind of a fork on the road yeah? I went through a similar process...

It turns out I had real issues with CPTSD and other things going on that interfered with my ability to perform at work. What's worse, I didn't even know I was this bad.

Your reasons may be different. I actually really like doing my job even though I know I'm not the best.

for my case I had to stand back and realize what was actually really important to me and what would it take for me to just really throw myself into a job, to really just get good at something. It's kind of hard to say with your situation cuz it could be different you know?

For me, it was figuring out what exactly high-performing meant, what it took to achieve excellence and what the path looks like. There were also drugs involved.

I'm reading some anxiety in your message, like looking weird etc. does it really look weird or is it something that you're just sort of afraid of?

All I have is shitty advice, but I went through what you went through. :-( I don't know what you're specific situation is but your story reads a lot like mine

The original story has been told for around 50 years with the widely noted implication "this was dickish behavior - they didn't have any particular preference for non-brown M&Ms but just wanted to mess with the people waiting on them". Even the 'debunkings' invariably recognize this interpretation of the original story.

Obviously part of the reason this story gets told a lot is because a lot of people, many of them management consultants who charge by the day for nuggets of catchy wisdom like this one, love the idea that organizations have a homogenous culture and the same ones that skimp on the buffet preparation also skimp on the rigging safety. Actually, this is complete fantasy. It's perfectly believable to think that the same boss makes sure the artists have everything in their dressing room they want, no matter how demanding, but thinks that they won't check the bigger, critical but more expensive stuff.
If the choice is between having my country's wealth destroyed by military invasion, versus being destroyed by someone mining blocks somewhere, I'd take the latter. You asked, not me.
Nothing is wrong with that, but if it's true, then that doesn't do much to refute the notion that there aren't any good uses for smart contracts.

If the best argument in favor of them is "well, they're not really good for much right now, but someday somebody might figure out a good use for them," then it's hard to see why people are so excited.

(Though, maybe it's not so hard to see why people are excited if the folks who are excited are all crypto fans who want to build hype to drive the prices up....)

I think of Zig as a quarter step between C and Rust. You don't get memory safety, but you DO get better handling of undefined behavior, and option types, and better protection from array bounds overruns.

So like a single player video game, it might be an easier overall choice, in a hypothetical world where ecosystems are similarly fleshed out.
It's more than just travel, it's also the cost of owning and maintaining a vehicle, the space to park it both at home and at work, the cost of insuring a vehicle.

Or the cost of a bus pass/transit at least. But the time cost of transit is generally higher than the time cost of commuting by car. And the time cost of commuting in general is pretty high and will never, ever show up on an expense report.

It's silly how much of our lives we give up for a full time job and kind of a lot of it isn't compensated in any way.

Therefore, I think that somebody that would like to receive donations should try make multiple options available - hoping for the opposite (that whoever donates will use the specific service that you chose) won't work.

This impacts the cost of parking lots, and basically because we tax property rather than land value, parking lots are generally pretty cheap if you already own the ground, but expensive enough that buying new land to meet a parking minimum is one of the single largest line items in many development projects.

You'd be surprised: there's even a dedicated annual international conference on implementation of automata that has been going since 1996: <https://link.springer.com/conference/wia>

There are constantly new algorithms, libraries, tools and applications around regular languages and regular relations (an extension of regular expression that is more elegant, symmetric, expressive and takes a lot of the ugliness of regexes out). Simplifying somewhat, finite state transducers are NFAs "with output".
