i don't think like that and wrt master/main all i care about is changing it for those who want it nothing else

What you are missing - because I never mentioned it, and I should never have to mention it - is that I actually am a BAME or a POC or whatever. Not only does the word "master" not make me feel uncomfortable, noone ever bothered asked me if it did before starting to agitate for this change. Now you may be one too, I don't know, and feel free to change it to anything you want in your own repos if a word upsets you so much (and you should rid yourself of all other problematic words too, like "owner"). But don't kid yourself that you're doing it for the benefit of the wider BAME community. And don't kid yourself about your reasons for telling everyone about it.

> you can’t both sell on steam and sell cheaper elsewhere as you would be undercutting their market

Wait, why not? That’s literally the point of a free market.

Steam (as the platform) should offer better terms to the game makers, and entice them to sell on their platform. Banning them from selling elsewhere, and forcing a 30% tax on top of it, is antithetical to both the creators’ and users’ needs.

Generating random permutations is quite a different problem from creating random numbers. The standard algo for random permutations is the Fisher-Yates Shuffle.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisher–Yates_shuffle

ETA: As you don't want to store the permutation, you might want to pick a number randomly from 1 to n!, and then generate the permutation on the fly up to the desired element, using the techniques outlined here:

Thank you.

I do think there is a lot of value in cryptocurrency research. The theoretical insights gained into ways of provably ensuring consensus in an untrusted environment, or tamper-proofing information, are already useful.

But that could all be done in a research setting (as it mostly already is) - we don't need every piece of such research to be immediately deployed in the form of a get rich quick scheme. So I'd strongly support an official, government-backed moratorium on the use of all cryptocurrencies, until researchers figure out a way to make one that isn't an exponentially growing, insatiable power sink.

We can test out the research incrementally in form of systems that don't pay people to grow chains. Like some of the project ideas I've seen thrown around big, non-financial companies - e.g. making it easier to ensure supply chain integrity. While in general I'm strongly suspicious of anything that even mentions "blockchain", some of these ideas don't look that stupid (but then, I'm not a domain expert in these areas, so the blockchain-backed solutions may all just be hot air).

Australia awards citizenship extremely generously. You only need to be living in the country for four years (which can be as an international student), there is no income test, no employment test, no language test, no requirement to give up your prior citizenship.

The 'Australians' in India are citizens of opportunity, who were born in India and retain their citizenship there, and the sympathy for them from actual Australians is zero.
You solve two unrelated problems (tracking library dependencies and security patching) with one complex interdependent solution and then you pretend no other solution can possibly exist. This is a trap.

In production you very often end up maintaining stuff not from distribution, you have to track and rebuild that anyway.

But literally all of those hacks feel like playing some stupid game with God. Like, if God is a truly omnipotent and all knowing, why would he/she care that you're tearing toilet paper on Shabbat or flipping a light switch. Equally, if you assume that this all powerful God really cares about this stuff, why would you assume they can be "tricked" by those hacks? Is the God all powerful and all knowing? Or literally so stupid that you can defeat the sacred logic with some simple hacks? Like the Eruv wire that wraps around Manhattan - do religious people honestly think that this "trick" works, in a spiritual sense? That they go to have their eternal judgement dispensed and God goes "yep, well done, you tricked me, I never specified the maximum diameter of the wire, and clearly you humans are too stupid to read context/intention in 'do no work' so yeah, it's all good, I have to let this one slide".

Funnily enough, it was yesterday when I though about how cool it would be to make an implementation of Oberon-07 (http://oberon07.com , https://people.inf.ethz.ch/wirth/ProjectOberon/index.html - a simple-enough language to experiment with in various ways) that would use something like this as its in-memory data representation.

It came up as a consequence of me wanting to have an implementation of Oberon-07 for WebAssembly, and realizing that the necessity of "restarting" the whole binary at any code change (necessitated by how WebAssembly works) also allows for some liberties in data representation (for example running out of compressed IDs for instances of a type could be handled in exactly the same way as changing the code of the running program - by generating a new binary with expanded space for these IDs and restarting it using the serialized old heap).

So I'm trying to check out FileCoin as I like the idea it tries to solve but: the website has some nifty visuals but after reading a few pages, I have no idea:

1- how to really get started and participate if I don't have a dedicated server (I mean I would expect something easy to onboard, but I don't want to setup a whole dedicated machine for that, despite the $100 rebate on Digital Ocean's bill).

2- How are the coins allocated and what the heck you can do with them?

3- what if I'm just a user who wants to store some files? No idea how to do that, through who I should go, what tools I should use. How do I pay for the storage to start with?

4- no idea how this economic model works: spend on hardware to become a miner? but I don't see how you get back this heavy investment. I understand miners get paid, but see 3).

5- who is this for exactly? It doesn't seem to target individual users, small businesses or even large companies. Is it just an experimental project, is anyone actually really using it and building stable 'stuff' on it?

6- how does this compare to the other storage solutions in terms of availability, andwidth and cost?

7- What's the adoption so far? Is there any storage available in my region?

I mean, it's a great idea but even as a 'tech guy', I'm lost as to how to use that infrastructure.

I'm sure that I could invest a few hours into it to find out[1], but should I really have to put that much effort into something that should be clear in a couple of paragraphs without the confusion of big word marketing[2] (I mean that page has all the buzzwords but doesn't explain much by the time you reach the bottom it).

I think the time spent on that nifty animated intro[3] of the front page could have been put to better use. I see no onboarding effort although the docs look good.

Maybe this is too much of a rant and I'm being unfair, I'm sure I must have missed some important things, but I don't see how this can get wide adoption if the basics are not clear and the onboarding is not better.

Or maybe it's just me; I still don't know what it can do for me. Maybe I'm not the target?

On Bitcoin you can do micro transactions using the lightning network. On Ethereum you have a plethora of layer 2 scaling projects that are gaining traction as we speak. Other networks like Avalanche achieve high throughput and low finality out of the box. It seems to me that there are plenty of things to be excited about in the space but you have to keep an open mind instead of being a stickler about the verbiage used in the original Bitcoin white paper.

>Apple collected perhaps $15bn in App Store commissions last year (and, incidentally, close to $10bn from Google for making the default search provider in Safari). 90% of that was games,

I think the figure depends on estimate, some point it at closer to 80%. But either way it is the vast majority of their profit. And I think Apple should break the App Store into App And Game Store. The Games continue to charge a 30%, all integrated model. Along with much more curation. No more one min of game play and one minutes of ads.

Then Apple can spend time to think about the rest. The App Store and how to move forward.

Simply by doing so Apple would have protected 80-90% of their current App Store revenue.

App Store could also have a App Credit Model, where every new "App" would have 90 days payment terms. So any time a scam do go through App Store Apple could refund at least 90 days of credit. Any high refund rate of an App should also trigger alarm for additional review.

Basically returning to the original point of the App Store which is to help its Customers, and your business partners. Right now it is not doing that. It is only helping Apple's services revenue.
Don't forget that good cache locality also can cause data being pulled into cache that the prefetcher did know nothing about.

The solution may be "complex and interdependent" but it already exists, and has been used for 35+ years.

Sure, conceptually there may be a better solution to both problems, but it has not been deployed by any GNU/Linux distribution I know.

And I am not sure if dockerizing or building everything statically and hoping a solution will eventually show up one day is the path forward.
It’s even worse, I think. Good UX design looks deceptively easy, but is actually incredibly hard. So hard that a lot of programmers don’t even recognize how terrible they are at it, or how high the skill ceiling actually is. They think UI design is pretty colors and rounded buttons.

In a functioning software company, the managers recognize this skill difference and simply order the developers to implement what the designers suggest. They grumpily do. (It’s obviously not always so stereotypical. I’m exaggerating to make a point.)

In a typical OSS project, no one can give orders. The programmers ignore any good design suggestions because they don’t recognize those, and implement their own crappy ideas instead. Sometimes while arrogantly dunking on the designer who tried to make a contribution. Consequently, UX quality is abysmal, and anyone who could fix that is driven away. I don’t see a solution to this.
Yes. And good UI design requires a look of work and effort to get it right. You need many skills, or a good team to do it and that's rare in FOSS.

It seems to me like the better way to solve this would be for distributions to publish which versions of dependencies each package uses, and provide an audit tool that can analyze this list and notify of any vulnerabilities.
We've moved off of my "empirical example" point by now.
It's not like the competitors are any better, in the desktop space at least.

The problem in my eyes is plateauing. Once a project moves past the first couple of iterations, it rarely interests the original authors enough to make incremental improvements. And since there is no financial incentive to continue, the project usually cools down to eventually be replaced by the following iteration. This means that you rarely get mature software.

In what country would one consider the healthcare system to not “be a failure” though, regarding these aspects or when somebody faces the same issues that the OP has? Sounds like an inherently hard problem given how things are structured now.
It is worth noting that the same year the MetroCard became usable on the entire system (1997) Hong Kong launched its Octopus smartcard, which is just tap and go and works even if, say, your card is in a wallet inside a handbag.

WMATA in DC would introduce a smartcard in 1999, so New York mostly bought a technology at the tail end of its life and had to pay the increasing costs of maintaining it.

Clubhouse App: privacy, and other concerns
First, I appreciate the answer. I didn't know about the "no large bodies of water" requirement. When then leads me to ask, what's a "large" body of water?

Second, and I'm not trying to be snarky, just trying to understand: What is the limit on size? I understand there's a point where physically building and maintaining it isn't practical, but is still theoretically possible.

As for defeating the point, I'll admit I only somewhat understand that argument.

As far as I understand -- and I'll readily admit I do not have a great understanding -- the whole concept of the eruv is specifically designed to "defeat the point" of another rule (or set of rules).

Why is "defeating the point" considered to be "ok" or not "ok" based on scale?

Likewise, if "defeating the point" is wrong, why is it not always wrong?

Again, my intention is to understand, not to be snarky or otherwise inappropriate about it, and I'll apologize in advance if my questions cross lines I was unaware of.
In fairness, your second paragraph falls victim to the fallacy of "the problem you mention does not exist because solutions to it are too hard".

Yes, the things you mention are hard to design/decide upon, but strictly speaking that's not an argument against the parent (ie it's not that bonuses based on race/gender are wrong because they're hard to do).
