If you are like most people you use systems that speak git (from Microsoft, Jetbrains, GitHub, Atlassian…) but rarely or less fluently anything else so the problem I’m trying to solve isn’t “which VCS lets me work well with large files” but rather “I’m stuck with git so what do I do with my large files”.

Your option is basically Git LFS, possibly also VFSForGit, or putting your large files in separate storage.
> My impression is that Google Docs never used contentEditable and instead wrote their own layout and editing engine that manually rendered out DOM, and they're now changing that to render out to canvas.

Back before Google owned Google Docs, it was a non-Google company and website called Writely, and their website was basically a document-hosting system tied to a fairly stock `contentEditable` editor.

This was around 2005 - back when every web-application development client would insist that users have WYSIWYG/rich-text editors - of course they had no idea how WYSIANLWYG (What you see is absolutely nothing like what you'll get) those WYSIWYG editors are like.
You really can't deploy a fleet that regularly blocks traffic, where regularly is probably anything more than once every 10K-100K miles. If you have a fleet of 1,000 taxis in a city each driving 100 miles per day, a once per 10K mile event is happening 10x a day.
The issue is breaking external references.

Do you include git SHAs in your bug tracking system? Or perhaps your department wiki links to a specific commit to document lessons learned? Maybe you're using Sentry and find including the git SHA of the build to be invaluable for troubleshooting?

For some organizations, rewriting history would be a non-event and for others it would be a major disruption.
I guess because RTS games are soft-realtime systems and need precise control of everything. RTS multiplayer logic is some of the most complex I've ever seen, these games are basically distributed computing frameworks.

Previous efforts were more inaccurate, you may remember hearing jargon like “alpha waves” or “beta waves”. Participants would learn to move cursors by learning to create the neurological activity that was being listened for.

This, on the other hand, is watching for complex neural activity, in that it learns what pattern appears when a participant pictures drawing an A.

Think of the difference like: before the input was controlled by turning your whole body, and now the input can take individual sign language letters.
That doesn't make sense, they are still holding a very large amount of it, why would they put this out and decrease the value of their own holdings?
I was just pointing out the myopic hypocrisy of the complaint. Also, women are not a minority group, but I would say that if he's hired to do a job at a company he should be held to the same standards as any other employee. If he acts in ways that are outside the standards set by the company he should be fired. If the company rules don't allow for sexism, there will be none enabled. I think pre-screening employees based on their speech is a road to nowhere. I don't know where the racism part came from did I miss that in the article?

first off, privacy and legality and confidence and sharing are all interrelated but different. to merge is to simplify and lose context.
All it means is that they're effectively "holding bitcoin," or otherwise exposed to its fluctuations. They're doing that anyway. It's not really different from holding forex, stocks or any other risky asset.

In the UK, I found putting a simple "No junk mail - addressed mail only" sticker on letterbox flaps cuts down junk mail by about 90% (I don't think it has any legal power though, it's just a request). It's rare to get a lot of addressed junk mail but maybe that's just me. There's a few lists you can sign up to for opting out of junk mail as well that maybe helped too:

Why? It has been in development for 7 years.

Why use this complicated hack solution when anyone can just use a different cryptocurrency and not have these problems in the first place?
I just found a live stream [0] done by Drew DeVault one year ago that partly answers my question: Yes it is possible, but it does look kinda awkward as you have to move your head around more. I guess this is an effect of too low resolution, having to push the windows close enough to your face to comfortable read?

How about we setup a plan to develop something similar and stick to it for a few months and see what happens?

I mean this is definitely a piece of gem, but nothing is exactly high tech or hugely difficult. And if you don't think you can make it, you can lower the target and create a, say, a 2d rpg engine that emulates Ultima IV or Pool of Radiance, those pioneers of modern RPG. For art assets you can use free resources or purchase inexpensive ones.

I really think that's achievable for pretty much every programmer. After all in some universities they give you a similar task as a project for advanced game programming classes.

And then you go from there, polish the game and make it fun to play.
What percent of Tesla customers are buying their cars with bitcoins? I doubt it’s more than 1 out of 100, I think it was just a publicity stunt both times, media talked about Tesla when they started accepting them and will talk about them again when they decided to stop it.
I'm not trying to redefine rationality. I'm referring to [Rationalism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rationalism), a system of values which is fundamental to the modern Western world, and trying to point out that it is inherently flawed and essentially self-contradictory exactly because its hinges on notions like "rationality" and "intelligence" but in practice anyone is free to redefine those to whatever suits the situation.

I'm not trying to put "intelligence" or "geniuses" on a pedestal, though I would argue they're already being put there by our culture's norms. If they were really so important, wouldn't people be a lot more outraged about faulty definitions and fallacious reasoning?

Instead, we get sarcastic variants of the "well, ackshyually" meme any time anyone insists that correct reasoning is a prerequisite for a meaningful conversation, and indeed colloquial language doesn't really optimize for the use case of honest, unambiguous representations of reality
> Tesla has suspended vehicle purchases using Bitcoin.

The real reason is likely to be that few, if any, cars were bought with bitcoin.

This has been a recurring theme throughout Bitcoin's history that's played out hundreds of times in more or less the same way. Merchants discover Bitcoin, and think it is a (VISA|PayPal|Checking|etc.) replacement. Then they try using it that way. They're shocked to find very low to non-existent transaction volume.

When Bitcoin does work, it's in situations in which those making the payment have few other options. They're blocked from taking credit card payments or interacting with the banking system. It's easy to dismiss those use cases, but they're real.

> ... we intend to use it when mining transitions to more sustainable energy.

Makes no sense. Numerous articles document Bitcoin's energy sources, which are often hydroelectric due to its low cost.

The part about other cryptocurrencies using less energy is pie in the sky reference to proof-of-stake. Its security model has yet to be proven on any network worth discussing. Those claiming otherwise are selling snake oil.

All of this reveals a surprising lack of sophistication in the approach taken by both Tesla and Musk.
Ethereum shards share security, so you can't just do a 51% attack on one shard.

Zkrollups on Ethereum have the same security properties as on-chain transactions, with no need for monitoring and no withdrawal delays. That can't be said for the LN.

> C++ and C are separate languages. I'd be grateful for the author to reflect it in the Readme.

I agree, but we could honestly be as granular as we want here. We could ask the author to delineate between C99 and C11, but it ultimately doesn't really matter. The point of referring to "C/C++" is to cast a blanket statement over the traditional compiled mainstays and use them as a point of reference. While they are indeed different, they're more alike then they are dissimilar. I think the author is perfectly justified here.

> Further, Bragging about LoC is bad. LoC is a poor measure of both quality and functionality.

Rust is a language that is extremely verbose, and properly formatted Rust code often uses more lines than necessary to improve readability (expanding match arms, removing inlined if-statements, etc.). Hell, if you look at the repo, it looks almost identical to a default Rust project: src is clearly exposed at the root, and everything else is pretty well organized into distinct folders. I disagree with the first part of your statement ("Bragging about LoC is bad") but agree with the second part ("LoC is a poor measure of both quality and functionality.")

Honestly, I think LoC-shaming originated in languages like Java and Python, where more lines of code almost guaranteed more complexity. Rust's focus on zero cost abstraction ultimately means that even massive programs can run with minimal overhead. I'm not here to parade Rust's achievements in front of you, but I figured it was worth pointing out at least here.
Time for Crypto to go away for a while as it reinvents itself. In it’s current iteration it’s speculative, the only source from which its derives its value, which is shakey at best, and solves absolutely nothing atm.
That's basically the premise of Immersed (https://immersed.com). I've used the product and it was good enough resolution, and having what amounted to 6 monitors in a space that fits on my head is nice.

I think the biggest advantage is that you can take it with you pretty easily. It's not easy to carry around a bunch of big monitors, but the VR headset fits in your luggage.

You just better be good at touch typing. :)

(Disclosure, I'm an investor in Immersed)
> Logically, renewable and storage on a microlevel seems to make more sense.

Only assuming technological advances are made that we can't count on. Current day we don't have storage solutions that will do it, and most micro stuff doesn't work well enough to meet current demand anyway....
Clicked through thinking it was an app for nice $3 date ideas, like a coffee, or ice cream, split a small sushi at the upscale grocery, juices at the farmers market. That sort of thing. It's just a membership fee. Oh well.
If the city cannot support and will not support the homeless that exist in the city, staying in the city is demonstrably degenerate. No amount of hand wringing gets around this. Public concern and municipal willingness to create shelter seems to consistently trail the homeless population severity by orders of magnitude.

So what you have a scavengers* that have opportunity to predate on the public and each other along with a trickle of aggregate wealth from access to panhandling and such. Human need to sleep is an incidental trigger for identifying those in need. After it's clear an actor cannot be supported (or doesn't want to be helped), there's no humanitarian way forward that's better than another. Err on the side of society without additional harm to the actor. They are never "charged" nor are they supported beyond what services are available.

*My particularly favorite thing was grazing at a grocery store in the morning when they are restocking and packages are open/damaged. Grab a fruit, eat a fruit walking through the store, grab a water and chug it, grab a granola or 2 or 3 or whatever you can get away with because who cares if you jack a couple waters? Dispose of cores/bottles/cans in a backroom box or behind a box or whatever. Move around a lot. Most city police let you go or city you for petty theft, but they tend to talk to each other and remember you.
It is, and it's standard practice. Suicide bombers are almost always part of a team that provides them with instructions and know-how, sometimes equipment and money, and first and foremost with a goal to die for. Also, lots of these attacks are part of a greater political scheme, and I would assume pretty much all attackers are aware of that. If your sacrifice means your side gets access to actual freaking atomic bombs, I mean, I could see that be pretty enticing.

And if not there's always the option to make people do lethal things against their will. People have been sent to their deaths by the millions over the course of history, that's totally doable.

IMO, dotting the landscape with such reactors is just asking for some state or other to take them and use them to leapfrog a lot of the effort required to build nuclear bombs.
The solution I've tended to use in classes (where there'll always be some student who hasn't installed LFS) is to store the large files in Artifactory, so they are pulled in at build-time in the same way as libraries.

This seemed to me a sensible approach as Artifactory is a repository for binaries (usually, the compiled output of a project). It also seemed to me that the decisions on which versions to retain and when an update to a binary is expected or when that resource is now frozen and a replacement would be a new version is similar to the decision on when a build is a snapshot vs a release.
Would these types of systems not be great for drop-in replacements in natural gas electricity generation facilities? Much like natural gas can replace coal through a plant upgrade.

Halting is indeed the same as termination. The halting problem DOES allow you to prove that some programs terminate. The problem is that there will be other programs that do terminate, but you won't be able to prove that they terminate.

So there is no way to know, for EVERY possible program, whether that program will terminate or not. But there are still some programs that you can know for certain that those programs will terminate.
> Further, Bragging about LoC is bad. LoC is a poor measure of both quality and functionality.

It is not a measure of quality but rather size of the project.
The shutdown mechanisms are specifically about the containment of heat. The problem is generally about a reaction not being shut off. Gen 3 and beyond reactors, which includes these, don't have these problem at all. But neither do Gen 2's, anymore.

But if we're going to talk about the 3 accidents, we should note that they are quite different.

Chernobyl was a positive pressure reactor. Only the Russians were ~~dumb~~interested in building these. Everyone else was afraid because their ability to explode and instead chose reactors that couldn't explode. The accident happened not just because of this, but because the xenon spike and not a great understanding of the science.

TMI had a bunch of things go on at once. Relief valve stuck open but indicating close. Not enough water during SCRAM. Turning off ECCS due to bad indications. Then the hydrogen explosion. Resulting in about a dental x-ray's worth of radiation for a limited number of people. We now have hydrogen absorbers and have upgraded reactors to ensure these events don't happen again. [0] (this channel also talks about all the events).

Fukushima was caused by the largest earthquake and tsunami ever recorded in the region (so lower bounding to 1k year event) and one of the largest ever recorded anywhere. The reactors were designed to withstand quakes and tsunamis. The tsunami and earthquake were much larger than anyone expected to ever happen in the region. Reactor got destroyed and it is hard to track where all the material went, which is why they have the region closed down (background radiation levels aren't so bad, but you don't want to risk consumption of reactor material. Similar to why the surrounding area of Chernobyl is closed).

The reason I bring all these up is because we should note that even Gen 2 reactors have been retrofitted with improvements from these events, and have been this way for a long time.

For everyone saying "Google is pushing canvas usage to kill ad-blocker effectiveness", maybe, but most of Google's ad revenue already works around ad blockers. Most of their ad revenue comes not from their display network (ads that they serve on other ppl's property), but from showing ads on their own properties. Only ~13% of their revenue comes from ads displayed on properties they don't own: https://finshots.in/infographic/breaking-down-revenue-stream... And "only" ~25% of users use ad blockers, so ad blockers likely only hit Google's total revenue by ~3%.

Ad blockers mostly work by blocking known display-ad-serving JS scripts, that ppl include on their page. Ads within Google search, Gmail, YouTube (and big non-Google advertisers like Facebook, Twitter, Reddit), don't use this approach, the ads are much more built into the page (embedded in product JS bundles, or simply returned by the backend from Ajax calls, mingled in with non-ad data). These ads are really hard to block, regardless of whether the page is a traditional web document, or uses canvas. Blocking them basically involves parsing the page and looking for things you think are ads, which is incredibly difficult to make work reliably over time, so nobody really bothers, and that's true regardless of canvas vs. traditional web document.
Also... I was basing the “power control” comment on previous comments you’ve made:

> Actually, in a human hierarchical society, power is all about sex.

> Either conscientiously or inconscientiously, sex is about power.
Additional napkin math:

If we’re going to take the “precious resource” argument seriously, let’s. One Starlink satellite can earn ~$25M/year, setting the value of that slot. This seems a reasonable value for LEO “homesteading”; if someone wants it, that’s a fair price to pay. And I do mean fair, seeing as it’s SpaceX inventing the technology, building the satellites, staking claims, and otherwise being first-mover and pioneer of LEO on a colonizing scale (so to speak). That includes the value of serving 25,000 people per satellite at $100/month. Want that orbital property? pay the trailblazer that made that parcel valuable. (As for “Earth’s population has a fair share” - no, they didn’t do squat for it beyond what one was already paid for to get SX there. Anyone is free to go there now and lay claim. Government involvement should be nothing more than collecting cost of tracking claims and resolving disputes.)
Both my parents are MENSAns. I agree with the parent poster, there isn't specifically anything special about being a 95%ile, and most of the members of the 95%ile that have joined MENSA aren't massively successful, any more than anyone on the middle of the bell curve.

It's not, what you have. It's what you do with it. I struggle with some things my parents find easy, vice versa, most of the 95%ile that I know have various mental health problems or other hidden disabilities that make daily life difficult -- especially achieving something like this.

And Feynman went far with being just an ordinary person supposedly slightly lower on the bell curve.

The only thing that actually tangibly matters is dedication and sweat, and how much time and effort you're willing to put in to something.

Of course, that's not to outright say that an IQ test or however you want to measure cognitive "capital"* isn't valuable in some aspect -- it does measure something, after all. Less fighter pilots died in training once they started selecting using early IQ tests (Source is a psych book from the 80s I skimmed a few years back :P). But that's an extreme case. For projects like this, for most of the things you will ever, ever want to do, it outright does not matter and the emphasis on it in programming and "intellectual circles" (on the internet, I don't think anyone in real life actually gives a shit outside of college admissions) is massively overblown.

* - I'm phrasing this in capitalist terms explicitly because "cognitive capital" is an explicitly western construct that to be honest seems to be more detrimental than it has been positive. Also, outright racist in the historical use and implementation.
> It has been in development for 7 years.

Good. They need to get it right.

> Why use this complicated hack solution

It’s complicated but not a hack at all. It makes perfect sense.

> when anyone can just use a different cryptocurrency and not have these problems in the first place?

There are 0 (zero) cryptocurrencies that scale better than Bitcoin that don’t also compromise on security or decentralization. Lightning is the best known option which keeps these properties which make Bitcoin desirable in the first place.
I never liked the git bare repository approach, because it's each to accidentally add files to it that you don't intend (if you forget to run git init in a new project directory; or if some code generator decides to "re-use" your existing git repository). I prefer the symlinks approach, but I never liked how all of the symlinks managers tend to leave broken symlinks all over the place.

That's why I created my own solution, which maintains a state file in the repo, so doing something like deleting a config file or switching a git branch doesn't result in a bunch of broken symlinks lying in your system.
