The chicken-and-egg problem is where programmers don't know how the C API works well enough to provide function-specific type annotation or library-specific configuration settings, but want to try calling the API anyway because they are following a tutorial written in C or C++. In this situation if there is no "dumb" binding mode builtin to the language the programmer is likely to abandon the language and go back to writing C or C++ until they get the IO working and something displayed on screen.
Interesting.

Does this mean XLN is implemented with a smart contract that withdraws the money from an address if you fail to pay? Or automatically cancels the channel if you withdraw more than what you have in the channel?
"Tesla will not be selling any Bitcoin..." from the tweet.
I don’t mean it in the way it’s sometimes expressed as, “you can train anyone to do anything,” I mean it in the sense that the 50%ile capable person is really all things considered, not that different from the 95%ile capable person. The range is just not that high. A person can only accomplish so much in the day and with the animal body we are given. Compare that to a computer, which for many tasks, can accomplish things at a rate 10,000,000 times faster than a human.

Tangent.

I grew up with cars I could (and did) service. I still remember how to break down a drum brake, and adjust it so it worked again when re-assembled. I've used grease zerks on the auto I drove. I've helped troubleshoot a carburetor.

Can't do that anymore, and it's only partially because the components don't exist, but because everything is so much more complicated you have to specialize in it to get much done.

Tangent wrap-up.

Maybe these "digital natives" have simply decided to specialize in something other than computers (and cars). Not all of them: I work with several folks who are decades younger than me, and they're perfectly comfortable with packet captures and bare metal databases.

It's a well known fact that Bitcoins are mined through renewable clean energy when over $60K and dirty coal dug by newborn baby labor when under $55K, therefore Musk did the right thing.

Cynicism aside, I was very curious if Musk can somehow push the crypto coins to be used as a currency. I guess that failed?

AFAIK manufacturing is a relatively low margin business that is sensible to price and supply fluctuations so it needs supply chain contracts for months if not years ahead which means using it as a currency that is not quickly converted to fiat must be like a huge challenge that only a financial machine building genius like Musk can solve.

Is there a data on how many cars were sold through BTC?

My counterpoint to

>I would tend to believe an effort to improve computer literacy should attempt to point people to the former rather than the latter.

is why? I mean sure. If they want to become programmers, then they need to learn how to use a computer to program but I'm not sure why that's any more about "computer literacy" than lots of other tasks.

I use computers for lots of things on a day to day basis, including many "creative" tasks, and almost none of those involve programming. Programming is a specific way that you can use a computer and it may imply deeper knowledge of the underlying system than making a video, but so what?

For that matter I could equally argue that a pure front-end developer isn't really computer literate because they maybe don't understand kernel schedulers, security model, processes, interrupts, etc. work. Oh, and how about TLBs, cache eviction policies, dynamic resource allocation, etc. at the CPU level?

A lot of the CP/M computers I used had serial terminals connected to them and no way to directly attach a monitor and keyboard. It feels like it's easier to emulate that way. Also, Apple's Terminal.app does an outstanding job of pretending to be a VT-200 terminal.

OTOH, this one is self contained. Still pretends the terminal is attached through a serial port, but it's emulated in the app.

It's a shame Apple doesn't make the Terminal.app engine available to developers.
Thanks for the shoutout to the legacy DOM Inspector (which I used to maintain) and Venkman (which I have both admired and used in anger). When Mozilla decided to put together a devtools team for Firefox 4, I was disappointed when I realized that they weren't going to take any effort to make sure the fruits of their labor sidestepped any of the performance issues that Firebug had exhibited for most of its lifetime. I do want to quibble, though, about the suggestion that this is a matter of XUL+JS versus HTML+JS. I say this even as someone with strong feelings about what a joy XUL was in comparison, and a long-lasting bitterness over the decision (among many) that Mozilla made in mishandling its own future.

WebKit's Web Inspector has for a long time gone with HTML, and in all its incarnations I've ever tried out, it has always been snappier than either Firebug and or the devtools that ships with Firefox.

When making comparisons like this, it's important to keep in mind that you're comparing/contrasting teams and their output, and it's not just a matter of the building blocks they're using. Some teams do better work than others.

I have tried it. The app is really easy to use and is the closest I found to Regolith but on Windows. It is not perfectly stable yet, although Giuseppe (@glsorre) has been really responsive in implementing bug fixes and new features.

I am confident that his solution can become the i3/Regolith for Windows 10, delivering a better experience than bug.n or FancyZone.
Good story, thanks for sharing Ned.

What's funny is that I know where this took place because I grew up in a neighboring town. I recognized it by the wind turbines and mountain. My parents still live there and you may have worked with my dad at DEC.

We had many of the same problems. Their phone lines run underground and still have terrible noise when it rains. The fastest dialup speeds we could get were in the low 20kbit range. They're too far out to get DSL. Cable was available elsewhere in town but not on their road because the power lines came in from the neighboring town.

Eventually enough people built houses on their road to put in poles, cable, and even some pavement. They didn't have to suffer through the issues you had.

I think it's foolish to think we have things 'right' now.

In 1967, I'm pretty certain the engineers responsible thought they had it everything in order.

I take the view we will always fuck up.

With nuclear, the fuck up will always have larger, longer lasting consequences.

Edit:

> Nuclear is demonstrably cleaner, safer, lower risk, and potentially lower cost (although how do you price the cost of destroying the planet right?) than any other baseload technology.

I'd agree it's cleaner if we didn't have the waste problem.

You're making a false equivalence. It's not a case of nuclear or fosil fuels. We have other options.
I'd quite like to get dream recordings to be honest, though not to the point of wanting to have an implant just for that purpose.

Yes. We're allowed to judge people for the things they do and so, and decide we don't want to work with them. He's allowed his, and we're allowed ours. Many people are not interested with working with people that hold these world views, not when they have influence over the career progression of others.
In my own art form (theater), there's a fair bit of effort spent being deliberately stupid in order to get us out of our existing patterns. A lot of famously idiotic acting exercises aren't really about the work you're doing, but about breaking your habits and being un-self-conscious about it.

The whole theory is that you can't think your way into a natural performance, unless what you want is exactly the same as the actor's own habits. There are things that make you instantly recognizeable even at a distance: how you walk, how much of a gap you place at the end of a sentence, how high you pitch your voice. A 3D model has the kind of control they need to walk in character, stand in character, raise their eyebrows in character, etc., but you don't. You have to first break your existing habits, then start from blank.

It's not the only way to act; you can get great performances without that. But it's a valid tool that works for some people.

I don't particularly like that new Pepsi logo, but it's still in use. They use it all over the place. So it sounds like it was moderately successful. It didn't become truly iconic (the way the Coca-Cola or Disney logos are), but that kind of success is rare.

Thanks, I might try the Paper Karma app since it claims to deal with previous residents’ mail too (unlike the DMA opt-out site).

My other idea is to look up the previous resident on a “living person” search site and then notify the mailer of their (supposed) new address myself. I’d hate to have it redirect the torrent of mail to some other innocent person, but hopefully it will just go to the rightful addressee.
That's not exactly accurate. When working with sync views FastAPI dumps them into a threadpool. It basically converts them to async on the fly. To quote the docs-

> When you declare a path operation function with normal def instead of async def, it is run in an external threadpool that is then awaited, instead of being called directly (as it would block the server).

Hydro power runs only where there is enough water moving.
Wind power runs only when there is enough wind.
Solar power runs only when it's sunny enough, and never at night.

Batteries are not nearly good enough to smooth this out.

So ... all these things are great, but not enough to replace fossils practically at current tech.
I think they're important too. But it isn't responsive to what they said.
Thing is that the snow slab wasn't evident 24 days later when the tent was found, the tent poles weren't pushed down, there was a working flashlight on the tent or a snowbank nearby that was undisturbed, and it makes little sense for Igor, Zina and Rustem to climb back up the slope in a weakened state if they knew the tent was inaccessible from tons of frozen snow on top of it. Also, there was nine of them with an unburied snow axe they could have used to dig the tent out rather than walk an hour downslope at night in the rocky, snow drifty, unknown terrain with insufficient clothing to try and survive the night.

It's possible the snow slab melted enough to blow or slide away during those 24 days, but then we're making an assumption that it existed in the first place. Which is no different from assuming the wind made a low frequency sound that scared the hikers out of the tent, or fill in whatever missing X caused them to leave the tent.

I think there's lots of odd things that go unexplained even if one can think of a reason to leave the tent like a small avalanche. Why were the two Yuri's left to attend a smile fire that they froze around? Why were the four found in the ravine several meters from the alleged snow den? Why did the lead investigator think that a radiation test in the middle of nowhere was necessary? Did he really see burned tree tops? Unfortunately, the pictures that are available today are very incomplete, including pictures of the tent, footsteps, bodies where they were found, etc.

Which raises another question. Do we have all the papers and photos from the original case?
I'd like to see a followup on that body of research with Chinese. I wonder if we'd have lower, higher or just similar accuracy.
It is the simulacrum of tech literacy.

Just like an Office 365 subscription is a simulacrum of a horde of calculators (people) with mass-produced calculators and typists on mass-produced typewriters, which were simulacra of noblemen scholars, pens (mass-produced simulacra of quills) and papers (mass-produced simulacra of expensive parchment)… which themselves were simulacra of prehistoric humans making cave paintings.

The other replies handle the large issue now, but let me go point by point.

> Why is nuclear the silver bullet that will save us?

Not supposed to be that, as others said.

> The waste will be around for longer than we are. We have no solution other than 'lock it up'.

If we sacrifice a Cubic mile to save the planet that's a god trade. Paul is a lot bigger than Peter here.

> Accidents do — and most like will — happen. How will increasing the volume of reactors not increase this risk?

The Tsunami was far worse than the meltdown; I am afraid people's fear-memory often conflates the two. I'm willing to admit the official stats with Chernobyl might be a coverup, but still, tons of poor people around the globe get sick or die from perhaps-illegal fossil fuel pollution. It's not a worse coverup than environment justice issues in the US.

The annoyance here among pro-nuclear people is that other thing's problems get to slip underneath the radar, but nuclear's don't.

> storage

Consider storage will require tons of lithium. The ecological damage from that mining will also be catastrophic, and the ecosystems might take as long to recover.

I'm not saying we shouldn't do lithium-ion batteries. We have little choice we're going to need more. Same thing with nuclear. Same thing with not decommissioning dams as soon as we like.

The fact is with all routes, avoiding ecological collapse will cause local environmental issues. What irks people is the singling out of nuclear, as if other things didn't have issues too, and other essential systems (like top soil) repair as slowly as some radioactive isotopes degrade.

It's a very large markup on the small-user retail cost of the basic thing they're providing (web-accessible, access-controlled file storage—see, for example, BackBlaze B2) but that's utterly typical of services that can get away with charging you a "convenience fee" for that sort of thing once you're on their SaaS. 2-3x markup isn't unusual, and that's about what this is, and that's above typical retail—even if GH's not managing the storage and such themselves, they're likely getting an even better (bulk) rate.

It's actually worse than that. Assuming you do have something illegal in those boxes, they've pulled a legal maneuver whereby you are forced to claim ownership. It's an end-run around the 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination. They seized your property and require you to incriminate yourself to get it back.

Lockboxes where the contents are legal will presumably be claimed by their owners, unless the contents are somehow embarrassing. Illegal lockboxes won't be claimed, and the FBI has effectively seized them without needing a warrant for the contents.

I'll be surprised if the FBI wins this in court, but it won't make any difference. This will take years to hash out, and by the time it's done, all the legal lockboxes will have already been claimed. The illegal ones are presumably anonymous, and the FBI will just say "oh well, if they won't claim it then we don't know whose it is, so I guess it's ours".
Bankruptcy hurts more because no limited liability. And when the other bailouts are more like "refinancing" as the other reply points out, the institutional bailouts hurt even less.

The key similarity in all those situations was a loss of productive capacity.

And the US production figures have gone where in the last 40 years? In 1980 the US was the world's biggest creditor nation. By 1988 the US was the world'd biggest debtor nation.

The debt and deficit have only grown larger since then.

> In the US the citizens are the government

I remember a video of a US politician making a speech about how "we are not them". Probably referring to the fact the US government routinely does questionable things such as violating the rights of its own citizens in order to protect its own interests. Not sure what his name was...

> and the government governs with their consent

Not really. Consent implies the right to say no. US citizens can't just tell the US government they don't accept it. Governments use force to impose their rule so if citizens don't accept the government their only choice is armed insurrection.

I've been told that the threat of insurrection against the government is a huge reason why americans enjoy their right to bear arms. Those who actually try it though will probably be labeled terrorists and everybody knows how the US treats terrorists.
git-annex is an interesting alternative the HTTP-first nature of Git LFS and the one-way door bother you.

You can remove it after the fact if you don't like it, it supports a ton of protocols, and it's distributed just like git is (you can share the files managed by git-annex among different repos or even among different non-git backends such as S3).

The main issue that git-annex does not solve is that, like Git LFS, it's not a part of git proper and it shows in its occasionally clunky integration. By virtue of having more knobs and dials it also potentially has more to learn than Git LFS.
Many view fission as a stop gap to fusion. I also think the scale of nuclear waste is vastly over estimated by the general populace.

Generally, it produces very little waste in terms of spent fuel[1] and much of that can be recycled. That does require building newer, modern reactors though.

> The waste will be around for longer than we are. We have no solution other than 'lock it up'.

This is another thing that people don't really understand. Radioactivity is viewed as a monolith in pop culture. There's a perception that a radioactive thing will kill you in thousands of years. In reality, the length of time that something is dangerous is inverse to how dangerous it is, ie, the longer it's radioactive, the less deadly it is (and vise versa). Plutonium-239, the long term radioactive byproduct (24,000 years) is not that deadly [2] compared to the much more radioactive cesium-137 and strontium-90 which both have a half life of around 30 years [3].
