At Google it mostly _is_ your responsibility to do that, yes.

There is substantial tooling assistance to assist with this, and it's common to make changes by adding new functionality, writing an automated transform to shift usage from old to new, sharding out the reviews to the suitable OWNERS, and finally removing the old functionality.

Very heavily used common code tends to be owned by teams that are used to this burden. That said, it does complicate upgrades to third party components.
> It has become increasingly fashionable in recent years to bash oil and gas as being “dirty”, despite there being no actual “cleaner” alternatives that scale or do not rely on fossil fuels and their seemingly endless useful byproducts.

I type this from a region where the grid is largely powered largely by a mix of nuclear, wind and hydro. And the power isn't even that expensive here. About 7 US cents per kilowatt. So how can I take this seriously?

> apparantly for some people it’s easy to forget that roads are paved in oil

Burning fossil fuels is very different from using oil as a feedstock.

> The data shows no signs of oil and gas demand slowing, in fact the very opposite appears to be the case as third-world countries propel themselves to first-world

Consumption of fossil fuels is falling per capita in most developed countries. Because we've realized they were poisoning us.

> Lets also not forget that mining is possibly the easiest “job” on the planet, simply plug a computer in the wall and you’re “working”.

So both a Bitcoin and an oil maximalist. What a beautiful synthesis.
What's the point of raising $10000 on Kickstarter? Isn't it basically 1 month income for 2 programmers?
Another amazing video deconstructing it. "This game has more red flags than a Turkish Embassy":

On top of it all, it's a pyramid scheme. They claim you can only play the pre-alpha if you get 2 other people to pledge, and when you get 2 other people to pledge they put you on a waiting list.
The ICE of the past few years is one of the cruelest and most out-of-control institutions in the USA which has regularly operated like a fascist secret police agency. Maybe your friend should try to exert some internal pressure to cut back on the institutional depravity, lawbreaking, coverups, and stream of lies, so that ICE can fix its ruined reputation and start building a bit of trust and support from the society.
What did you invest the cash in? Corporate bonds?
Kerala as well , not sure if they are trumping wealth here though
Bitcoin can be a collectible and a store of value without ever becoming a currency. Gold, art, baseball cards etc. all fall into that category.
F2FS - I'd currently rather use this, if I had to use a Zoned device (Assuming it's under 16TB in size).

https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man8/mkfs.f2fs.8...

-m -z #-of-sections-per-zone

https://zonedstorage.io/linux/fs/

The f2fs section says "Zoned block device support was added to f2fs with kernel 4.10. Since f2fs uses a metadata block on-disk format with fixed block location, only zoned block devices which include conventional zones can be supported. Zoned devices composed entirely of sequential zones cannot be used with f2fs as a standalone device and require a multi-device setup to place metadata blocks on a randomly writable storage."
It has to be this way. Imagine if I stick AirTag over someone’s backpack and then track that person all day. You cannot have it both ways.
I think the article kind of eschews the practice of the tyranny of devising rules to explain sound.
I think these notes are great, and Vitaly certainly seems like a great person from Twitter (been following for a while now). I just want to spell out the obvious - the biggest (and probably the only) beneficiary of such structured notes is the note-maker.

The beginners who come in feeling excited that this will be a great learning resource are probably missing the point. Learning happens when you force yourself to create notes by finding structure in the raw text. Notes are extremely personal, and reading someone else's does not have the same emotional connect.

Am I suggesting you stop reading notes made by others? Absolutely not! I am suggesting you rather double down on that, except _always_ make your own notes if the objective is learning. Use the excellent public notes to build your own mental models of what makes for good notes.
"Didn't like the idea originally" is no different from "looked silly". And it wasn't just "a couple of rich VCs" who thought that. (Btw, the word 'rich' seems gratuitous there.) YC wasn't going to fund them but did anyway because they liked the founders. It's not mythology.

"Was it really that hard a leap?" - yes it was. That it seems otherwise now is pure hindsight fallacy.
I'm pretty sure the garbage man doesn't want to go to work everyday too.

Just because no one wants to do a job doesn't mean it should be illegal. There's a lot of jobs that I think shouldn't have to exist. But the reality is that they do have to exist, because people need to make a living.

I believe prostitution shouldn't be illegal for the same reasons that you believe it should be illegal. Empathy.
Publicity.

That said, games with this type of scope (and no VC backing) ask for something more reasonable such as six figures minimum.
How are hierarchy of power and phycological safety related? Obviously, speaking up != your opinion is always upheld. The point made is that a culture that encourages speaking up makes for a better functioning team. It doesn’t change the reality of employer-employee relationship or the power balance.
You are missing a lot on what bitcoin actually is and what it could be (because it can change)... which is hopefully why it will keep an edge on other cryptos.
Also can be natively enabled on bare metal by DOS without additional drivers, so many audio chips support(ed) SB16 long after DOS lost popularity.

Somewhat like VESA graphics modes which are at least there if you have no vendor-specific VGA drivers.
OOP and FP: Two different approaches to sameness
> The infinite open world MMO

That bullet point alone is essentially enough to make me extremely skeptical that a 2-3 person team could deliver this.

To give me any hope, I would expect that team to have a significant amount of mmo (or at least significant netcode experience).

I'm not saying a 2-3 person team could never deliver a simple MMO, but it makes me very skeptical right off the bat.

Though, I tend to be quicker to jump to "naive" than "scam" as an explanation of why someone might try to tackle more than they can deliver.

MMOs are hard, and there's a reason you are very few tiny indie MMOs out there. They are a significant up front development cost to build out.

It feels like someone is promising to build a multi-story apartment complex, but quoting a budget more in line with building a single family home. And the developer hasn't ever built an apartment complex before.

The Hitachi Magic Wand never claimed to be a sex toy, and yet it is almost universally recognized as one. It doesn't really matter what is claimed...there are some cryptocurrencies that are technically better suited to currency use cases than Bitcoin, but they aren't popular enough to be used as a currency, so Bitcoin is still more of a currency than they are. Even Tide detergent can be recognized as a currency if enough people use it like one [0].

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies certainly share a lot of the properties of money: cleanly divisible, readily accepted as a medium of exchange, and difficult to counterfeit. But as much as it is used as a currency, there doesn't appear to exist much of a lending market (a key property of money), and there are tons of people that are sitting on it like an investor might sit on gold stockpiles or land, which makes me think the baseball card analogy is still appropriate.

Which chromebook do you have? I was recently tinkering with my pixelbook on the dev channel, I believe you can launch kvm vms from the chromeos 'linux subsystem' it's kind of like WSL2 in reverse but with KVM vs hyper-v. Wonder how a win10 vm would run, although the lack of workstation grade hardware for chromeos seems like it would hold that back. Launching android apps is pretty slick though
Of all of the bad articles about bitcoin, this is among the worst.

Here’s the best short description of bitcoin I’ve seen:

Bitcoin is a non-sovereign,
hard-capped supply, global,
immutable, decentralized digital store
of value. It’s an insurance
policy against monetary and fiscal policy irresponsibility
from central banks and
governments globally.

I saw the same thing when working at the docks in Melbourne (forklift driver for 6 months). The check-in had a few cards for people who I had never met, but we're on my schedule (less than 50-100 onsite per day and I was involved in warehouse organisation which required me to pass out location sheets to other drivers).

Eventually I got to speaking with the site manager and I mentioned in passing the cards. He clammed up immediately and I shrugged it off.

A few months later after I left, the manager and I were having a beer and grouching about that site and he told me that those cards were for the local .. well mafia for lack of a better word. They were clocked in by a senior member every day, and clocked out at the end, the pay cheques were sent off and as a result we never had any break ins.

Crazy.

It opened my eyes up a lot and over the years since then I have seen similar things in a few other industries, eg in Japan and hospitality we had a very friendly grandpa style gentleman visit the restaurant once a month, hand over a receipt to the manager and she paid him some cash. Turns out he was Yakuza and that was our payment for the month
Probably because you posted a wall of text. Short and sweet comments are best, write a blog and link to it if you have lots to add :)
Okay, so I suppose the stability fee is paid in MKR, and Dai's stability ultimately is regulated by people who buy MKR, and because MKR is burned by the CDP, people who buy MKR receive the "interest" indirectly due to deflation of MKR? Though MKR is independently traded and seems to move far more from trading than deflation.
Even its strongest selling point, absolute privacy, is mostly a lie

That only became a supposed selling point among the uninformed as a result of widespread misrepresentation in the media. At least from my perspective, nobody using it very early (i.e. 2011-12) was ever under any illusion that privacy or anonymity were a feature. People using it for illicit purposes have never been. Mixing services and informal brokers willing to exchange cash for BTC were widely available for that reason even then. Later of course BTC->XMR->BTC and then CoinJoin et al.
Right, or you're an undocumented refugee and you can't gain access to services which handle money because you can't prove that you're not a money laundering terrorist. Meanwhile, it's the money laundering terrorists who will exploit these people as their only option to feed themselves. I hate that US laws started this wave of KYC requirements around the world. It's funny that you can actually get a prepaid debit card with many providers in the US without ID but you can't do anything with crypto exchanges.
You cannot host it yourself because you don't have a copy of the source code -- all of their changes are private because the are not distributing the software to anyone.
Can I turn this around to understand why anyone would care about baseball cards?
I'll bite. Isn't that essentially what eBay and the like are? Among other things, a beanie baby exchange?

I'm curious why you feel that being digital "makes a huge difference"? Sure it's different. And coincident with a current popular disruption (digitization of everything we can think of), but does that make it transcendentally different? Or just different because times are different? Honestly curious.
If there was a floppy-based IMG file I would try it right out on bare metal.
Why I created a vaccine finder (WA)
It’s permissionless because you don’t need a home or other status to use it.

It’s decentralised because the US can’t globally stop it.
Is it though? I have never heard of someone not accepting tainted bitcoins. It's a possible issue, but quite theoretical so far.
> no medical purpose

The first reason I gave was medical. Maybe you missed it? It's the one marked with a 0.

> It prevents others from seeing my face

I'm sure it's a very nice face. What if you carry a photo of it on a necklace? Best of both worlds.

> over half of eligible Americans have received

"Eligible" is a weasel word in this context because it artificially constrains the set of people that you're taking into account who can breed and transmit mutated strains. Fewer than half of all Americans have received at least one shot so far. That is improving rapidly, of course, but there are also a number of mutated variants currently in the wild with more to come, and we should all want to stop them from gaining traction because we all want to live our lives.
The announcement also appears on the department's website. https://cse.umn.edu/cs
I tried Godot again like ~8 months ago and the C# support was still awful to the point that I'd consider 'first-class C# support' an outright lie. It might be 'officially supported', but it's in 'late alpha' since 2018 and is very obviously a second-class citizen, which should be clear just from the bad state of the C# docs. Community resources for C# are also much more sparse (subpar support probably contributes to this).

It doesn't seem like they've made much progress in Godot 3.3 - seems like a grant ran out so they had to let their C# dev go, so I don't expect any major changes for the foreseeable future.

Keep in mind that I'm obviously quite soured by the experienced - Godot might still be the right choice for anyone who is considering. I'd just recommend anyone to factor the very rough C# support into their choice, especially for anyone planning to use it for a more involved project.
Scalable simulation worlds are more or less just a networked cluster of nodes with an octree topology. I suppose there are limitations to local node density but other than that providing a seamless experience is more about how to architect the core system than rocket science.

Yes, it's hard. I have no idea if people even want that.
Or can you make the node-to-node transit non jarring for players. But I don't really see it as lying. Ambitious certainly.

Can they pull it off? No idea.
I'm still not following sorry?

All builds (except for server/headless build which is Linux only) are available for Linux, macos and Windows as binaries. This includes the standard build and the Mono build. All builds are also capable of loading dynamic libraries at runtime which you can write in C++.

Compiling the whole thing definitely seems onerous but it's surprisingly easy, even for me who barely knows C++. If you're interested you can read about it here: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/development/compiling...

Most people don't compile the engine themselves though, but it's a very viable option if you know how to use a command line.
I live just outside a small town and there are zero of many of those amenities. No Indian restaurant, movie theater, new car dealership, etc.
Btrfs is actually in use by some big companies like Facebook but the initial issues seem to linger in people's memory and thus everyone and their cat avoids btrfs like fire. It reminds me of systemd for some reason.

For the record I'm using btrfs on Arch (so recent kernel) for years with no issues (including LUKS encrypted root filesystem and RAID1 arrays for backups).
What kind of trouble? I use it on all of my systems and my only complaint is I have to scrub and balance regularly.
Imagine if somebody lands in mars and when we call that impressive somebody just says "All they did was copy that Martian movie", like come on it is still quite impressive even if unethical
As long as it's optional and there are some different approaches, why not? Not something I will personally switch on, but some people might want to.

I can attest. I work at a similar megacorp with a very large megarepo. If you commit a change that breaks any kind of test, anywhere, that shit is getting reverted very rapidly. If you MUST make a breaking change, congradulations, you get to update all of your users code too.
Better Ways to Handle REST API Versioning
You are equating different cards to different bitcoins. That's not the point of the article.

In the context of the article there are a limited number of say babe Ruth cards. They are all the same. Bitcoin is the babe Ruth card. Other cards represent other coins.

Arguing if bitcoin is money is like arguing if a ferrari testarosa is a car. It clearly is,but at the same time it's not a terribly useful car.

Sure bitcoin is money, but it's not an especially useful form of money. Its main attribute is scarcity,not utility. A regular car will drive around 200 000 miles in its lifetime, the ferrari maybe 50 000, probably less.

Bitcoin may be money, but its a pretty weak form of money in terms of what we need everyday.
I think the point the author makes is that all Bitcoin is the Mantle cards. Ethereum is the Mays cards.

Gold has inherent value. You can melt them and use the gold. A better example might be diamonds. They have value, but very little is intrinsic in the actual gem. They are collectibles.
Yeah if a tech company starts asking employees to wear Oura ring to track their sleep, that's really out of line. However, a sports or research organization is a different story.
It's really pretty ridiculous and frustrating. I come here for intelligent discussion, and I agree it's okay if people don't like Bitcoin, but at least take some time to learn about it if you're going to argue. It's straight up denial at this point, because Bitcoin, Ethereum, and DeFi are securing and transacting billions of dollars every single day. It's not a question of if it works at this point, it does work! An decentralized overlay financial system has successfully been bootstrapped on top of legacy infrastructure. If you don't understand how big of a moment this is for humanity you must have your head in the sand.
Anyone know how many games YC has backed and how well they've done?

A quick google suggests they've backed at least one other, but I'm not getting a good sense of how much experience they really have with gaming companies. Maybe this is just not their forte?

So actually, less!
(A) Not necessarily, and (B) if so, okay so what? The whole point of the parent comment was about keeping devs in check, and I submitted an anecdote that AWS in fact has better tooling to keep people from doing things they aren't supposed to. Not related to billing oversight, but permissions.
Fungibility is a spectrum. Bitcoins are _somewhat_ less fungible than most fiat currency, but way more fungible than art, or baseball cards, or NFTs.
They might cancel a service you rely on, they might even censor your documents in storage (https://twitter.com/BreesAnna/status/1384763150109716481). It might be time to move away from Google.
So the premise of the article is that the difficulty and inefficiency of Bitcoin is the fundamental feature that makes all this possible.

What are we waiting for then? Lets double the computation difficulty of Bitcoin's network. This will shoot up the price even further and will accelerate solar-battery-bitcoin-green combo. We just save the Earth and a lot of people become rich. Win win situation if you ask me.

/s
Those all have some kind of use value, and a story attached. Gold makes beautiful jewelry, collector’s cards remind people of childhood and baseball flory, art is lovely to look at and a way to flaunt wealth or feel a connection through the ages. You can look at all three and feel a fuzzy glow of happiness as you ponder the attached narrative.

My point was that, if the author’s argument is true, bitcoin will only have value as a pure collectible if people maintain some wider narrative that opposes the argument in the essay.

No one would collect a sterile piece of cardboard devoid of any story, just as no one would collect “Digital token #385839, definitively devoid of use”.

I’m not saying Bitcoin needs to become a useful currency to maintain a value. I’m saying it needs to have people believe it will, or to believe some other narrative about it which makes them consider it as more than a collectible.
As echoed by 3np, most things I need to use (banking, social media, chat apps, video tools, etc, etc) require a phone number. I'm glad it's still possible for some people to live their lives without this requirement, but it's getting worse and I suspect these days are numbered (pun intended).
what if decentralized monetary network ends up having the same effect on communication and social relationship as internet did ? are we becoming degen gig economists ?
A number of serial killers target prostitutes (actually the podcasts I listened to only mentioned ones in Vancouver, but I imagine elsewhere it's true too), police can't keep tabs on a "group" that wants to hide their actions.

Legitimizing the industry makes people who CHOOSE the livelihood safer, and for people who claim they want the government out of their lives and "personal freedoms" above all else, it's a no-brainer.

If it were legal women could use services and stuff to maybe track when they're going to a job and if they go missing - someone's alerted and the police come snooping...

It'd also free up a LOT of resources to focus on the still illegal prostitution and other sex crimes: forced slaves, underage, trafficking, etc... It'd also bring in tax revenue, etc. It'd probably raise their incomes too, maybe giving them what they need to afford a different career or finish school if that's something they want.

It also frees up prisons which the less people we have in prison the better, in fact I think prison shouldn't be for "punishment" so much as "protection" -- violent crimes should be locked up, but using marijuana or buying/selling consensual "experiences" shouldn't be...
> If everyone suddenly switched to believing “Oh bitcoin doesn’t do anything but it is a fun collectible which also has mining costs to track ownership” its value would plummet.

That's generally true for all currencies. If everyone suddenly switched to believing "X-sovereign-currency" doesn't do anything but legitimizes that sovereign and has military and human rights costs to maintain the illusion of that legitimacy, its value would plummet.

Currencies are not real, their value is in our collective heads, or at the tip of the gun, or because you can pay taxes in it or get sent to jail. Yes, in general they're nice because it makes transactions less of a pain, but that isn't specifically true for any one currency.
Wall of text with no catchy/eye-grabbing words section. Your idea is right.
Websites that are "production-grade" can be built without tools like react.
