Unless you are running completely detached from the public grid, consuming renewable energy for crypto mining absolutely indirectly produces CO2. You are buying renewable energy that could otherwise be sold to another customer/jurisdiction where it would displace fossil fuel usage.

This isn't an academic exercise, this is an issue that renewables operators are dealing with right now. Hydro-Quebec is the state-owned corporation which handles all generation, transmission, and distribution in the province of Quebec. As the name implies, the vast majority of Quebec's generating capacity comes from large hydroelectric facilities located in the north. The company sells hydropower to the northeastern United States during times of day when demand is high. This is a mutually beneficial arrangement: the profits from the sale of hydropower in peak periods allows Hydro-Quebec to subsidize its own ratepayers who enjoy the lowest electricity rates in North America, and the Northeast US in turn doesn't have to build as many peaking power plants which are typically gas-fired facilities that produce CO2.

However, the low cost of electricity in Quebec has made it extremely popular with crypto miners, to the point where Hydro-Quebec has been forced to place miners into a 300 MW allocation block [1]. Miners who didn't manage to get into the allocation block are charged a rate that is more than double the normal rate in order to try and disincentivize their activities.

If the crypto miners weren't in Quebec, this excess energy would be sold to the northeastern US where it would displace the capacity of some CO2-generating peaker plants. But because it's being diverted to crypto mining, the energy doesn't get used for that.

Really? Or are they just doing the same "render at a higher resolution and then downscale" trick that they did for the iPhone 6+, 7+, and 8+?

I personally like service managers more that have clean shell scripts such as runit or OpenRC where shell scripts more so look like this:

#!/usr/bin/openrc-run

depends="some list of services to depend on"
after="some list of services which need to start earlier"
cmd="/path/to/executable"
args="command line arguments"

The nice thing is that it's a shell script, so each of these lines can be defined conditionally.
It's easy enough to get into the App Store, and I suspect with the new number of applications they get every day, they can't manually monitor each one.

I never understand the counter-inflation argument...most economists understand inflation is something to be managed, but it is far from proven that target inflation is bad. There are many useful economic properties of inflation.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin has undergone such massive speculative appreciation that everything around it has deflated in comparison. As a result, bitcoin is spectacularly less useful than it would have been. It is no longer useful as a method of transaction and really only a ledger and store of value.

this inflation argument is specious. It just isn't the problem that demanded an unregulated anonymous deflationary currency.
Zigs lack of operator overloading means math code will be illegibly gibberish, which kills any possible interest I had in it.
> > and the political structure that keeps it in use?

> 1. False equivalence

It's additionally a false equivalence because those political structures also keep in place the things you want to buy with bitcoin, such as shops, factories, and things you produce bitcoin with, such as power stations and computers.

It’s just toxic positivity and bragging. Gratitude is useful for people with bad lives to find something small to cheer themselves up. It’s not for healthy people who love their jobs and their family to flex on the people who can’t think of anything better than overnight oats to be grateful for. This site is not useful for anyone who actually needs help and I hate it.
I find it funny that we only talk about blanket bans and increased regulation when the poor start accumulating wealth. We saw this when GME was going through the roof and Lee Cooperman went live on CNN to bash retail investors. Similarly, when bitcoin starts trending up we have Ray Dalio talking about future crypto ban. Hedge funds really don't like this I take it. But I digress, a crypto ban would be disruptive to a very innovative tech (crypto speculation aside) in finance. However, regulation and taxation is likely a better approach not only for world governments, but also for taking projects like Bitcoin to a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly realm of operation.
Thinking about this more... the barrier is big for me because this type of social sharing i dont find value in. for those that do, i suspect that enabling them to share on platforms that are more popular could be useful.

Or, is there value in aggregating things that people say to help those who are struggling to find a reason to be grateful. .. turn that into a weekly trend line. are people more grateful for their health during a pandemic? are people more grateful for their spouse in the summer? that sort of stuff could be interesting.
Oh, I didn't realize you only meant how easy it would be to pass the ban. Of course it would be easy to pass a federal ban in the United States, where it's easy to pass many things even when they're extremely unpopular. Marijuana is still banned federally despite well over two thirds of the country opposing the ban!
I had a similar feelings, even though the circumstances were different. I worked in medium sized companies for 7 years before getting into FAAMG. I thought I’m a decent SWE who knows patterns, processes and can deliver high quality code.

First couple months there were hard. My PRs were teared apart with tons of nits, I had troubles communicating as I was embarrassed.

Dev process was also very slow with a lot of back and forth. I felt I was doing something boring + doing it so slowly I stopped caring.

It was miserable and I quit after a year. Looking back, I glad I did. The company did teach me something, but I also wasn’t compatible with their slow moving culture. Did some very interesting work after I moved on and my carrier skyrocketed.
An understandable call, since that is the board which (with no explanation) has re-instated Stallman.

An organization's supporters interpret bad leadership as damage and route around it.
No, because like in JCVI-syn1.0

"They didn’t build that cell completely from scratch. Instead, they started with cells from a very simple type of bacteria called a mycoplasma. They destroyed the DNA in those cells and replaced it with DNA that was designed on a computer and synthesized in a lab. This was the first organism in the history of life on Earth to have an entirely synthetic genome."

In another words, like in the previous attempt (in which i was equally amazed - at first - only to then became disappointed latter) THEY DID NOT CREATE LIFE!!!

They picked up an already living organism and "reprogrammed it".

Its like having a computer. They are learning to program, and remove all the unnecessary parts but they still don't have a clue on to build the hardware.

The problem, it seems, is in transforming bare lifeless quimicals into something "alive".

Creating life, it seems, is still something reserved only to God Himself! (and i suspect it's going to be like that for a loooong time, if we ever manage to accomplish it anyway)

Aren't these contradicting each other? It sounds like you don't even consider the latter candidates. Or do you mean from your prior experience?

I haven't really spent much time looking. Honestly until message signing becomes a feature of every major wallet, then I'm not to interested. If you can't sign a message with your wallet you can't prove you own the wallet. If you can't prove ownership of a wallet, you can't prove ownership of NFTs associated with the wallet.

I've switched stacks and sub domains in the same company multiple times. It sucks. It seems to get exponentially more difficult each time.

I think they would mostly be looking for examples of how you approach and solve a story/problem, leadership experience, and other behavioral questions. You may need to take a lateral or even take a slightly lower position if it's really different.
Gah. Just two days ago I finished what must have been our fourth rewrite of Kotlin code to interface with Android BLE. It's a complete trial by fire experience. Various medium and other blogs on the net are a morass of "find the true information amongst the disinformation". If I had a nickel for every "just put a delay here" so called solutions.

We have two apps, one that communicates over many variously configured characteristics, and another that uses less characteristics but pushes/receives just as fast as I can get it to go in big bursts.

The edge cases around connect/disconnect events are the most frustrating and most difficult to reliably debug and gain confidence your implementation is robust. Oh, and don't forget that just because it works on your Samsung, doesn't mean it works on your Moto.

Assuming this new implementation is indeed much better (and not just swapping one pile of surprises for a new and shiny, but different, pile of surprises) my hat is off to the folks behind this. You get a big fat atta-whatever for making the world a better place, even if I wish it had happened 4 years ago.
I always assumed they would use BTC for some of their transactions! Why wouldn't they? You said "Of course no, they are fine with USD" so do you have any evidence that they don't?

It has never been proven that deflation is bad - Keynesians claim this is the worst thing in the world, but I still have never had it explained to me coherently way deflation is inherently a bad thing.

Do you really believe real estate should be an investment, rather than a place to live?
I’m not sure if there’s a good way to measure how much CO2 is used to enforce fiat, but I very strongly suspect that it’s nowhere near as much as Bitcoin requires per economic unit or whatever. Bitcoin’s already using several country’s worth of CO2 and it’s still (compared to fiat) very fringe.

Also bear in mind that much of that CO2 generated by the force you’re describing, aside from the people guarding the banks directly, is amortized across all the other things that force guards. Even if fiat were replaced by Bitcoin overnight almost all of it would still need to be around.
I run a telegram bot that has a pretty large user base completely for free. I have a buy me a coffee setup for it and it gets almost zero views, except for when a feature breaks. When a feature breaks all the sudden buy me a coffee gets traffic and I start getting donations.

Sounds a lot like Go. For me, that was a huge problem with Go.

I can only speak for Go, not Zig at all, but not giving me the "wand colors" meant that when i still needed colors to solve my problems, i had to invent them myself. .. okay this analogy breaks down there, but yea. The need for basic things like iterators, enums, and sometimes even generics didn't go away in Go. They didn't stop being extremely useful patterns or abstractions. They're just missing.

So what do you do with something that is still useful, possibly needed, but missing? You reinvent it. Very basic behavior like Iterators, Maps, etc become separated by piles of functions spread out all over the page. Yea, it's all simple - no complex features, but also no way to express that logic tightly, quick to reason about. Go wears down your scroll wheel in my experience (~5 years).

Would i have the same complaints about Zig? Your comment leaves me feeling like i would.
It's a point from the plausible.io website and sales pitch.

https://plausible.io/lightweight-web-analytics

The file size savings is 44.3 kB per visitor, which over 120,000 visits is 5 GB per year.

The Website Carbon Calculator uses a ratio of 1.8 kWh per GB of data transferred, and 475 g CO2 generated per kWh.

https://www.websitecarbon.com/

44.3 kB per visit * 120,000 visits per year * 1.8 kWh per GB * 475 g CO2 per kWh = 4.5 kg per year after fixing units.

"These numbers are all estimates but you can imagine if millions of website owners and Google Analytics users end up making a similar reduction in their website size too. The total reduction in the carbon footprint of the web would be immense."

Well, obviously, developers who work in language A aren't going to use an editor that doesn't support language A. They might want to use that editor, though.
Those are not testing feature correctness, but testing feelings.

As a 2019 Insight alum, I can't say more good things about the program. As someone who has now been on the other side of hiring, I can say that the fellows from the program really differentiate it from every other 'bootcamp' (I wouldn't call Insight a bootcamp as there are no real tests/homework/etc, but of course lots of expectations set by the program directors).

Unfortunately, Insight kind of imploded like most other talent recruiting did during the pandemic, laying off basically the entire staff and not having a spring 2021 cohort (and I have no clue what ended up happening with the fall 2020 cohort). I believe they are trying to revive it, albeit at a smaller size and likely with the ISA. I truly hope they succeed as it was a fantastic program. I also hope they stay small.

> but government can monitor and control all of the transactions that take place to ensure that no illegal activity arises.

I don't mean any disrespect when I say this, but when I read comments like, after the initial shock subsides, there is always a realization that we all have such widely varying and disconnected worldviews that I simply don't understand how mass governance could every work without eventually succumbing to violent conflict... Not trying to make any comment on the underlying merit of either worldview, just that it's like we live in completely different realities... It's very depressing, to be completely honest.
I don't think this has anything to do with the carrier? On Android you would just add a SIP account and then set it as the default for outgoing calls.
If your company hasn't outsourced coding to eastern Europe or Russia yet, just wait. You'll become a de-facto PM that way.

Junior devs get assigned bugs to learn the code base. So do the same thing with open source.

I haven't worked in React (or frontend) in a long time, but your response is similar to how I have/would try to think about those problems.

If you want to use the stupid cliff metaphor, we've already driven off the cliff. "No consequences" is no longer an option. Now we just have to decide where we want to land on the scale between "minor consequences" and "apocalypse".
Is it just me or some people are starting to lose their mind over Bitcoin and crypto? The visceral hate it is getting seems out of place, and the arguments are getting more desperate (now we should ban crypto?)

Don't know if that's the case with the author, but from what I've been seeing in social networks and such, it looks like some people have decided crypto is an alt-right thing (not true) and we should "cancel" it. Ironic, because there's nothing more conservative that banning crypto and sticking to fiat.

"...followed then by years of silence even though there are still issues... until there's a major version bump and the cycle starts again"

Sounds like a band that releases a great album, does a bit of touring, and then breaks up because they hate each other.... and reunite a few years later and repeat the cycle. I've heard the comparison between musicians and developers made over the years, but this is a different spin on it!
The "backed by guns" argument ignores the more powerful backing force of a society's belief and actions. Things don't daily come to the point of us being forced to believe our currency is valuable with guns and nukes, we just created this system because it's one we wanted to live in, and having such a fiat currency makes a lot of things easier. Bitcoin, on the other hand, is using its energy constantly.
When I first opened the article in Firefox, I only saw the first two paragraphs (same as the OP). This was true whether it was in reader mode or not. I opened it in Chrome and saw the whole article.

I just tried opening it in Firefox now (a couple hours later) and I see the whole article. If I switch to reader mode I do see it's truncated about halfway through, but I think that's a separate issue from what the OP was seeing.
Though at first the article seemed interesting and compelling, towards the end of the article, it started to unravel (see the comments about Black women at the very bottom of the page). So I clicked through the site, and realized that it lists feminism as a "poisonous ideology" along with global warming and multiculturalism, with links to the protocols of the elders of zion (a well-known antisemitic conspiracy theory).

And, though the article seems to be sympathetic to marxists, the site also somehow lists Marx as an "architect" of "poisonous ideology." It also has an insanely homophobic fake quote attributed to Marx [0].

So this site just seems like the work of a nutjob bigot and shouldn't be used as a source for anything.

DRM in a vehicle is not good for the owner on so many levels.

The whole concept of owning a car outright and being allowed and able to maintain it if you choose has already been effectively ended by complexity, lack of shop manuals and legal 'don't remove the plastic engine cover or you'll void the warranty' restrictions was the first wave.

Now we have cars transmitting gigabytes of information back and forth to the vendor and who knows who.

IMO we should have consumer legislation protecting owners from this razor and blades model the vendors are trying to force through: you buy the car then we sell you endless 'features' and upgrades which will ultimately render the car inoperable unless you.

Cars used to be cheap and repairable. Now they are expensive, have a short lifecycle and are becoming infested with endless digital do dads
