Similar to how "god of the gaps" arguments work, there's a "god of complexity" phenomenon in tech, where people will project infinite possibilities onto technology they don't understand.

Blockchain is a brilliant solution to an extremely rare problem. It lets you do distributed consensus among untrusted nodes in a setting where contributing compute power is economically incentivized (e.g. where there's mining). That applies to cryptocurrencies, but basically nothing else.

It's amazing how much bullshit has been pitched under the flag of "blockchain". Millions of dollars have been poured into projects that are technically unsound or that had no use for a blockchain to begin with. This has been going on for years.

This sounded interesting so I clicked on TFA.

OMG it does that thing I can't stand in news publications of repeating the same thing over and over!

This is literally the first 8 lines of TFA:

Over the last twelve months I've roasted the landing pages of 200 startups.

I get so annoyed when news articles do that, because they skimp on writing abstract leaders by simply duplicating text from the opening para.

I don't know what else this article says because I stopped reading and closed the tab.
Ethical Alternatives and Resources
It seems to be a collision of custom keyboards, cheap and capable SoCs, easy access to displays and driver boards and a dose of nostalgia and tech weariness.

I like this one but I’d suffer it to be a bit larger to accommodate a standard keyboard and a pi4. I love the display, seems like you can buy them on Amazon and elsewhere since they are targeted at case modders and the like.

You can also set up a git repository and prevent history rewrites on the central server.
Some third party could also offer this as a service.
Each entity can check this by doing a pull every minute in a cron job, which fails when history rewrite happened. If they detect this, their legal department can take some actions.
So, we're engineers---very much not the average person.

Speaking from the point of view of someone who spent 8 years in school learning computer science, then the next 15+ practicing it:

I cannot create an RTS game engine in C. Not in a million years.

It's all good and well to be encouraging, but this is literally our field. If we can't identify our own short comings accurately (after for some people is decades of experience), then we are probably less capable than we think instead of more.
The drastically higher speeds involved (250-300 knots airspeed, as opposed to more like 50-90 knots for GA aircraft), combined with drastically higher weights (think about the chutes needed for something like Apollo, which is nowhere near the size of a large passenger aircraft, and realize you need way more) would both be major issues. There’s also the simple fact that larger passenger aircraft tend not to fail this way, making it less likely such a system would help even if it existed.
> a) Apple has invested heavily in automated review methods over the years.

There was a news here where malware was found on the Apple iOS store, and Apple changed their mind in the last moment and refused to inform the victims.

The reality show you (if you want to see) that

- malware happens (you can't make automatic analysis code to detect all possible issues )

- Apple users will mostly have a wrong image of the Store security due to Apple not informing victims when bad things happen and a big PR budget to paint a fiction.

The reviewers are there mostly to make sure you do not put a link to your website and buypass the Apple payments and make sure that the app does not crash and use the approved UX. I really hope you are not that navie to think they are opening the app in a debugger and checking for weird code.
Oh somehow I expected it to be Threema GmbH but it's still just old, plain Crypto AG.
I don't see why these would need a blockchain rather than just a centralized database.

I'm very skeptical of these use cases.
Interesting observation, but this could simply be casting males with deep voices.
Don’t signatures get you the same benefit? I don’t need to trust you simply to sign something saying “user X showed me hash Y at time Z”.
Do consider Elixir for its metaprogramming (macros) and the goodies that come with them, namely fantastic libraries and frameworks like Ecto and Phoenix.
How to Use the Kaizen Approach in Supply Chain Management?
The Kaizen philosophy is an old idea that has resurfaced in the world of manufacturing. In a nutshell, it focuses on minor improvements that have a large effect on procedures. It also necessitates buy-in from all parties involved, as David Kiger discovered in supply chain and lean production. Today, with supply chain management software, it becomes even clearer how Kaizen can be applied.

Kaizen is a philosophy that has been around for a long time. Dr. W. Edwards Deming is credited with inventing it during World War II. Edward Deming was welcomed to Japan to provide needed training in statistical control measures in order to help the country's market growth and industrial landscape, before the availability of inventory management software.

These changes will start to create effective and quality developments that can last in the company in the long run by operating in smaller increments, that integrates with warehouse inventory management software. The term "kaizen," which means "change for the better" in Japanese, was coined to describe this ideology.

Even if we were to accept the privacy invasion that would entail, it would most likely only work for the cycling and walking (average speed, distance) but it wouldn't really work for lifting weights. There's not really a way to see how hard I'm straining on my deadlifts, squats, pullups, etc.

I'm sure there will be similar issues for other modalities of exercise and training as well.

One must be careful about focusing on income taxes - they leave out about 1/3 of federal revenue paid by social security taxes, which are overwhelmingly paid by the bottom 99%. And focusing on federal taxes leaves out state and local taxes, which are also borne by the majority of the populace.
> In 2019, Uber claimed $4.5 billion in global operating losses (excluding the US and China) for tax purposes – in reality, it brought in $5.8 billion in operating revenue

This sentence makes me feel like the article author does not understand the difference between profit and revenue. The wording makes it seem like there is something nefarious about being a loss making company.

Uber's global 2020 revenue was 11 billion, with a net income of -7 billion.

> a manuever that grants the company a $1 billion tax break every year for the next 20 years, the researchers found

I just have no idea how any researcher would be able to compute this. Corporate taxes are based on profits. In order to pay taxes, a corporation must actually make money. Did the researchers forecast a 20 year P&L and compute lost tax revenue based on their hypothetical financials?
I've run into `.C` files a few times since the 90s. They were associated with projects managed by developers who were actively hostile to the notion that people might do development on Windows and they knew what they were doing.
Any infrastructure required to support log out - is far less complicated than one required to support secure password storage, login, changes, resets, recovery, etc. If it such simplicity comes at the cost of using JWT I think the tradeoff is very worth it.

Nobody thinks that. Everybody knows what it means. Picking on it is like picking on people referring to amd64 as x86.

Illegal content, such as child pornography, goes against the rules and is removed. But graphic content (gore) is allowed on the random board.
Over the years I built so much stuff which was never used or never created any value. So over time I realised I can create more value by not writing code.

But knowing when not to write code meant understanding the business, the stakeholders, product management and deal with all those people! Something I definitely didn't consider my job when I started.
Indeed. For a language that strives to be as different as Haskell does, the FFI experience is absolutely stellar. The only other language I've seen come close in terms of C interoperability is perhaps Rust.
Ah, that’s why I only read about one parachute for two passengers :D
>> Is this something that happens because someone thinks C/C++ is one language?

No[1]:

> C++ source files conventionally use one of the suffixes `.C`, `.cc`, `.cpp`, `.CPP`, `.c++`, `.cp`, or `.cxx`; C++ header files often use `.hh`, `.hpp`, `.H`, or (for shared template code) `.tcc`; and preprocessed C++ files use the suffix `.ii`. GCC recognizes files with these names and compiles them as C++ programs even if you call the compiler the same way as for compiling C programs (usually with the name gcc).

I agree it's possible. The pertinent question is: how easy and ergonomic it is to do? Friction kills good innovation very often.

Building an efficient and portable programming language with Zig
Nowadays, they’re case-preserving, so the compiler _could_ distinguish the two.

Historically, though, lowercase character weren’t allowed in file names (even though the on-disk format would have allowed it), so compilers couldn’t make the distinction. Given that using “.C” has fallen out of fashion (if it ever was fashionable), I don’t see much pressure to add that functionality, especially given that it might break compilation of C source code copied over from old times that uses .C.
I would expect the problem to be "mass goes up with size cubed, while parachute drag only goes up with size squared". I.e. you need a disproportionately larger chute (or more of them) for large aircraft. Those are dead weight in normal operation, which really hurts the economics.
Dan and Kika of Sailing Uma themselves recognize that this setup is not for everyone. Here's an interview with them on Sailing Ruby Rose on the subject:

He specifically chose a Beta Marine (marinized Kubota) diesel that has an electric motor/alternator connected to a 48V battery bank. If either the mechanics or electrics go, he can use the other. For short jaunts, like in and out of harbours, he can use the electric system to preserve fuel. The system has re-gen capabilities under sail.

More pricey though.
You are not unreasonable. Would push for the projects to be excluded. It can be done easily.

If the market going up again (Step 4) is a sure thing, then Step 3 is obviously sub-optimal. If that is not a sure thing, then they've still got a potential ~$1B net loss.

I am not asserting that Elan's and Tesla's motives were pure. Nor that they complied with all applicable laws, regulations, etc. But "classic pump-and-dump" is a poor and very misleading description of the events to date.

The WALKING DEAD – COOPER ANDREWS [celebrities supporting cannabis]
Montel talks with Cooper Andrews on this episode of Let’s Be Blunt. Cooper is best known for his starring role on the long running series The Walking Dead. His character on the show, “Jerry” brings some much needed comic relief to the zombie apocalypse series. When’s he’s not on set, you’re likely to find him at a fan convention passing out his favorite cobbler. He personally came on board the cannabis bandwagon in 2017, and is now an outspoken advocate for its many benefits.

This looks like a Vortex Core keyboard, with the default layout.
The sibling comments make some of the same arguments, but here’s an article which also addresses it:

"An aircraft is most vulnerable during take-off and landing because it is closer to the ground (its biggest obstacle), and is travelling at low speeds and therefore is harder to manoeuvre. According to statistics from Boeing, almost three-quarters of deaths from plane crashes between 2005 and 2014 occurred during these phases of flight. But this is the time when a detachable cabin would least likely be successful at saving lives. Being closer to the ground would give the pilot much less opportunity to jettison the cabin following an incident and if it were detached it could well land in a built-up area."

Dialyzer and typespecs are better than nothing but not with much because they can introduce a lot of friction along the way, for not much benefit.

As another poster said, it can catch the very occasional potential bug but to me at least it's rarely worth the hassle.

I miss static typing after I got back to Elixir from Rust but the BEAM will likely never be statically typed.

To that end, I found utilizing metaprogramming to generate normal and property tests to be much more productive use of my time, with a measurable impact to boot.
Just for an example, the OpenFOAM codebase has 'em.
1. That’s not a calculation. It’s a special case you either need to know or have to be clever to compute. A calculation might be, say, compute zeta(2). But I don’t really want to argue about semantics.

2. This can evaluate this correctly on the (slightly later) HP-49G+

So given this new information, will you change your mind or try to find some other silly example?
I think by "security key" they are talking about working with yubikey instead of the regular public/private ssh keys. I don't know much about yubikey, but it sounds like it is a usb drive for storing you ssh private keys with some software for managing them. They must be promoting yubikey.

That would probably depend on the school and the country (perhaps even the teacher). In my case they didn't even mention that there was an alternative, the TI-83 Plus was pretty much presented as a must have.
Yeah no shit you can just increase the block size. That doesn’t result in better asymptotic scaling.

Spinning up an ethereum full node (“archive node”) is way harder than spinning up a Bitcoin full node, partially because the eth blockchain is over 7TB vs about 300GB for BTC.
You can validate whether the token is valid with issuer on each request if you want, furthermore issuers support log out functionality - so say auth0, has an endpoint that will kill the session. It’s probably a bit expensive to check the token on each call, but if your security model requires it....

Really not seeing the problem. In most non trivial apps authentication infrastructure is it’s own service anyway, so hitting auth0 on each call in practice works very similarly, up until certain amount of traffic, which I’ll never reach.
Business and corporate taxes are an endless exercise in futility. We need to just completely get rid of them. Businesses and corporations will never pay, and there is no magical sequence of words to formulate a bulletproof tax scheme.

If we get rid of business and corporate taxes we can also get rid of special rates for capital gains, and treat all income the same.

Then if you really want to get crazy, get rid of all the deductions and credits. But you’ll have to fight off all the special interests on both sides of the aisle.

Over the last 7 years I've seen many small or hobby projects on GitHub that started non-portable, and there would always be an issue/comment about "how do I compile it on my OS?". Now, it's completely anecdotal and recalled from memory, but the reactions of Windows-based developers to "doesn't compile on Linux" was generally "OK, I'll try to take a look", while the reaction of Linux-based developers to "doesn't compile on Windows" was generally "switch to Linux or try to compile with Cygwin but honestly, idgaf lol".

Have you ever seen a Windows program that to tries to create "etc" directory in the C:'s root and put its config files there? I've seen, and it was "ported" from Linux.

People think that. amd64 and x86 today mean the same thing, C and C++ not quite. I've also seen HR people think that java and javascript are the same thing.
The SR-22 also cannot recover from a spin. I would assume most of those deployments are from out of control spins. I am not sure the parachute system can be credited for saving more lives than a similar plane not-equipped, because the Cirrus _needed_ that parachute system in order to be certified.
Sometimes it's the government's idea in the first place. I work at a contracting company, and one of our government customers said they wanted a service that utilized blockchain technology. They didn't know what a blockchain was, or care what the blockchain powered service was, they just wanted to sound like they were responsible for acquiring cutting edge technology. Luckily that was shortly before NIST put out their research paper that said there is almost never a good reason to use a blockchain, and the government employee quickly lost interest.
I think it’s amazing planes can fly sort of straight with only one engine providing thrust though.

> Motor movements are some of deepest knowledge we have.

Don't know if it's is a real thing, but in some CSI type show years ago there was a witness with amnesia (couldn't remember their name etc.) whose identity they found out by engaging him into a conversation to distract the consciousness from the "I can't remember" thoughts and then put a form in front of him he was supposed to sign (IIRC it could have been a witness statement) and the movement of signing something was so ingrained that it persisted even through the amnesia.

Anyone know if this is a real thing or just fiction?
If we judge by the result these app store seem to do fairly well security-wise, no?

Compared to Windows as a case study of what happens when you let users install anything they want from untrusted sources, it seems that the app stores do fairly well at culling obvious malware. At least that's what I experienced comparing the number of time I had to cleanup a friend or family member's computer filled with malware and browser toolbars vs. iphones and androids.
WRT large PRs, it doesn't sound like they expect all the improvements to be from small changes. I think the point is the code will be changed in increments so that even large changes (overall) will be easier to review and offer feedback.
Award-Winning QA Leaders Disclose Their Strategies
SSDs aren't required for Chia, they're just faster for plotting which is a one-time process anyway. Once plots are made they can be "farmed" (mined) indefinitely for the energy cost of idling drives. So the environmental cost is an up-front capital cost instead of an ongoing power cost which in my opinion is a lot better. And this is not to forget that the storage market is already huge anyway and that "procuring drives" can be used for storage other than Chia, whereas the energy wasted by ASIC Bitcoin miners is just a complete waste.
