I was reading about DOT and decided to start learning rust. I've used python in a couple automation tasks before, but besides that have very little programming ability. Rust has been hard so far but very rewarding. What technologies would you suggest learning if i wanted to get into blockchain programming?

Companies that are the only labor buyer in town can exploit their staff.

Uber cannot. The only reason people would drive for Uber is if they can make more money than doing whatever they would do if Uber didn't exist.

Therefore, if Uber didn't exist and they couldn't drive for them, they would be worse off.

That's the opposite of exploitation.
You should look into iteratees. It's the same insight: if you have the concept of something that receives values and eventually yields a value of a given type, that's a structure that has some very nice algebraic properties (e.g. they're monads).

Yep, that's a key use case.

Another good use case is replacing bash/sh scripts. I know some times who have a rule that as soon as there's a conditional or a loop, you gotta switch from bash to a friendlier / less error-prone programming language. ShellJS makes node a pretty good option.
US economy was almost a full autarchy in the 50s and 60s - imports and exports as percentage of GDP were at all time low - at about 3-4%. Meaning 96-97% of the economy was done by Americans for Americans - it was a closed system.

The stagnation in standards of living since the 80s is fully engineered - it's a choice. Tax cuts, regulatory changes, disarming the antitrust, union busting, deregulation of finance and similar changes redistributed $47 trillion to the top 10% from 1975 through 2018 (1), enough to give every worker in the bottom 90% a raise of $1140 per month.

The point here is that if you know you're stuck at the worksite "until it's done", you'll work at a more manageable pace.

BUT if you know your workday is exactly 8 hours with a 30 minute lunch in the middle, you'll pace yourself differently.

The difference between two equal people doing the same thing, one working until they drop and the other working 8 hours and leaving, isn't big enough to warrant the longer hours worked in the long run.

The one working longer hours might get more work done for a day, maybe a week or two. But after months of work the first person is burned out and the second one is still going strong.
The amount of code duplication in this language community after introduction of asyncio is staggering. Gevent should have been adopted into the core language, but instead people are re-inventing 'sqlalchemy', network libraries and entire web frameworks for the sake of two new keywords.

Eh, want is a subtle thing. There's a lot of research around women's declining happiness since the 1970s[1], which implies this change is not an unalloyed good. I blame marketing. A lot of marketing tells women what to want, and marketers certainly have zero incentive to steer women away from consumerism, a career to finance that consumer lifestyle, or the idea that such a lifestyle is "freedom".

No REIT I've seen has comes close to this. I can't know for sure, but it makes me suspect that either every single REIT in the industry has a crippling embezzlement problem, or this guy is pulling numbers out of thin air.

There's of course the DIY aspect, but I doubt two hours per week of effort as a amateur handyman is enough to make that kind of difference. If it was, I'm sure I could quit my job as a developer and start mowing people's lawns and cleaning their gutters and make far more money.

Ah, you mean the Arbutus unedo. Yeah, the fruits are completely different. You can't compare the strawberry with these fruits. When not yet full ripe, the fruits are brightly yellow-orange, not a reddish-white of strawberries.

That's a good list but I have to strongly disagree with the idea that 6 hours might be enough for most people. Sleep is so important that you really should be aiming to get as much as you can. We have models for the mechanism by which lack of sleep may contribute to stuff like dementia, along with animal autopsies, coupled with the fact that people who only get 6.30h sleep per night have a higher chance of getting dementia than someone getting 8h.(there may be some negative loop stuff there, but it is a negative loop). There may be some people that can function fine on 6.30h sleep at night, but that says nothing about it being healthy. Maybe every book, and sleep scientist I've herd is peddling this pseudo science about how you should aim for 8h plus, but I doubt it. I'm sure you have some random article supporting your position but what about any actual studies showing that people getting 6h sleep is safe both in theory and practise... in any case my tip for people is to throw away your alarm clock and wake up naturally once you've had enough sleep. If you are relying on your alarm clock to wake you up then almost by definition you aren't getting enough sleep.
AccountB doesn't have to make more money as it directly or indirectly transferred all the liquid assets to AccountA (and many other people). In a liquidity pool kind of exchange, AccountB would have simply put all its liquid assets into the liquidity pool, in exchange for removing the illiquid asset into AccountB's custody. The liquidity pool maintains prices based on a ratio of two assets in the pool, so the illiquid asset would have quite how price after this activity. AccountA would have just sold its holdings of the illiquid asset back into the liquidity pool at a coincidentally favorable time. AccountA can also have been a liquidity provider, and when they unbundle their liquidity pool share it will have more of the liquid asset and less of the illiquid asset. Many possibilities, permissionless.

If it must be said, AccountA is yours too and is just for reintegrating the illicit proceeds into the economy without trying to do something more convoluted like running a permissionless SaaS business with fake customers spending Monero for domain name lookups.

But, AccountB can attempt to make its assets more liquid again. You just go on Telegram and pump it in speculator groups, buy off some youtubers. How much are you laundering? You can keep a few thousand dollars in liquidity for negotiations. AccountB should also provide liquidity itself. Just launch a yield farm contract, copy and paste, change the input and output token address, redeploy, lock a substantial portion of the illiquid token inside of it (or pay off a more coveted yield farming project like Pancake or Polygon to list a farm and pay farmers in their token). Make the yield high.
Even if the facility can supply more power, as electricity prices go up and CPU cycle prices go down, the power becomes the primary driver of the cost to operate the chip over its lifetime. Already electricity costs are much greater than CPU purchase costs over the lifespan.
I feel the same way. I love obssessing over small details. In professional programming there's no time for that, people just want results and profits as soon as possible and the technology is just the means to that end instead of something that's inherently good. I chose not to pursue a career in professional programming because of this.
Sorry it was late past midnight and i did not find anything that could help with a opensource tool like nginx plus modsecurity. However I shared documentation that can help logically identify potential exploits and with nginx plus lua it’s possible this can easily be updated. The OWASP filters are similar. Yes we have done some automation like this many years ago but today we mainly use public cloud WAFs.
I tried the whole30 diet for fun, and it changed my body quite a bit. I used to snore, but it completely went away when I stopped eating processed food. When I started again the snoring came back.

Whatever they were, Lysenko had nothing to do with it.

His argument with Vavilov was a purely scientific one - Lysenko campaigned for epigentic heredity, while Vavilov was a reductionist geneticist who was against epigentics on principle. (Modern science vidicated Lysenko, by the way.)

Their argument was very dirty - "administrative resource" was mobilised and political sides were picked, but there is no way Lysenko had enough clout to be anywhere near setting government policy.

This is always when I double down. For better or worse. I’ll happily spend a week stubbornly chipping away at the same brick wall with no feedback or positive reinforcement. By the end, though, you’ll likely hear me yell “I’m a FUCKING GOD LETS GO GET FUCKED” from down the hall.
What you're describing is one self-consistent possibility. But there are other self-consistent possibilities, and all have an equally-good claim to being 'how the universe really works'. Some people are really adamant that MWI is the one. Some are adamant that Copenhagen is the only sound one. It may even turn out that Pilot wave theory is true and none of this quantum weirdness is really all that different from the classical world.

I think we just don't know enough yet to choose any one interpretation. I hope that at some point we'll find a way to address the measurement problem - either finding that the classical world also behaves quantically or that there is some clear limit between them or that the quantum world behaves classically (least likely).

But until then, we're all just guessing.

Edit: 810 atoms is great, just ~6.023*10^21 more to go and we'll have something that is truly in our range of advertising.

Has anyone seen any study or discussion of inflation arbitrage? Not in the trivial sense of if you predict inflation borrow and invest, but in the case of viewing a country as multiple separate markets and there being inflation differences between them, which in turn means there is opportunity for arbitrage?

It seems to me like a failure to accept that adjacent markets sharing a currency can have different rates of inflation is a large part of why people are so damned bad at understanding and measuring inflation. The article is a good example, every metric and estimate proposed assumes that there is a single inflation rate for the currency. But if you instead thought of it as one good being trades in multiple different market places, then its obvious that there could be differences in price between these markets which traders could exploit. Critically, unless they did so and doing so was a near perfect market, there would effectively be multiple different prices for the commodity and the textbook use of inflation would be such a shitty model as to be near useless. If you instead asked, how many ingots of currencium would I need to buy a bag of other goods, it would be obvious that this would also require a statement of in market A. I doubt the reason this arbitrage opportunity is entirely missed, but it could be that its unusually hard to exploit. However, I suspect it is partly because even among financially literate people, a currency has one rate of inflation is a common idea.

That said, the single market model where currency has a common price provides shitty predictions. For instance, the strongest counter argument against the apparently obvious statement. SNP500 has not increased more in value in 2020 than 2019, its mostly just inflation, is: No metric of inflation say it has been anywhere near 40% in 2020.

However, if we view this as two different markets, A(capital), B(consumer) where the inflation is different for each. Then any metric which is designed to predict inflation assuming its the same in both would by necessity underestimate one and overestimate the other.

The counterargument would be that if this was the case an efficient market would eliminate the arbitrate opportunity. But thats barely true in the most ideal cases, and its easy enough to come up with such arbitrate opportunities.

For instance, we know that historically, whenever there is inflation, stocks respond quickly, but salaries generally lag behind. This is damned near proof of the multi market model on its own, but a model with more parameters always fits the data better. A sufficient, but not necessary proof would be the existence of insurance contracts for and against inflation in another market priced in the same currency. In short, is there a reason that salary futures aren't a thing?
I've prefer this as well. If humans do ever cross the vastness of space to other solar systems, the travelers would eventually become a separate species anyway - wouldn't they? It would be a split, unless there is regular travel between star systems, but I can't see that happening without Star Trek like technology.

Given this anecdote, I don’t believe most people are talking about exceptions like you. The majority of people don’t make much money for working long hours, both in blue collar and white collar jobs.

While there's definitely been a drop in the purchasing power of lower and middle classes (though [1]), monetary inflation alone does not seem to explain this trend in a satisfactory manner.

In all honesty, most software developers I know could probably sustain a really decent living working 50% of the time they are doing now, if they really wanted to. But for whatever reason, we _don't_ want to. It's almost like our expectations are what have inflated.

[1] Some things have gotten ridiculously expensive, like housing. However, other things have not, we're just buying much, much more of them. It's hard not to draw comparisons between our own children's environment and our own upbringing, as cliche as that might be, but they have a lot more "stuff" than we did, be it phones, tablets, sports classes and coaches, you name it.
I know, and despite me being the first to notice this in just about any scenario, ai didn't put the two together until I saw this. Maybe I should sleep more.

It’s really not. SME branch office is dead easy. Multinational corporations virtually impossible.

In the cloud you can stop your whole VM estate, nuke roles and access and pull an audit trail and access logs for everything in a few minutes. Without even getting off your butt. Or having to negotiate with a branch office IT team who disagree with you.

In the 20 or so years I’ve been running ops for corporates, the cloud is the nearest we’ve come to half decent DR and emergency response capability. It has got to the point now where compliance and audit is built in and I can actually write some code here and there rather than arguing about trivial stuff like “what happens if X happens” with people who are only in it for the pension.
I'm not sure if you're looking for more intelligence here, but more learning ... a different thing. That can be fed by opening-wide your curiosity, and constantly feeding it with new things. Youtube is great for that, so are books that genuinely interest you and motivate you to learn more. Always take time to recall what you've experienced and remember the details.

But supposing you do mean intelligence, then: First you need to take good care of your 'machine'. Enough rest, good diet, enough exercise, avoid aggravating things and people. There will be days it's not working; learn to recognize them; don't struggle, get some chores done.

After that: there are many kinds of intelligence. Get that list, pick the one you want to work on.

One example: creative intelligence. The kind authors, artists, composers, (even programmers!) may have. (Or not.) First they have to learn how to take great dictation (writing words, or painting, or writing musical notes down) ... to 'get ready'. Then they need to learn to get their 'brain intelligence' out of the way to get the flow going. Many will use some kind of mind-altering substance substance to get there. (Be careful you don't get owned.) Einstein got his top ideas by imagining. Music players get their chops solid, and then 'go nuts' (or artistic, depending on the genre). If you're lucky, 'The Source' will then start pouring. (Doesn't have to be 'artistic', just something where 'new' is an advantage... you have to be open to it.)
Kudos, gorgeous. Would be great to have a generic version that can also connect to other databases too. Perhaps this is the start of an async interface that can be used instead of dbapi?

One thing that stood out was the overloading of using functions sometimes and sql snippets other times. For example,

.select('column').where('id', 1).where('name', 'Tom')

or

.select('column AS alias').where('id = ? AND name = ?', 1, 'Tom')

This means the framework has to pass through the snippet as-is, rather than applying escaping etc.

Although sql injection is usually through values, it can be through other parts of the string too, e.g. in many user query builder UIs the column names themselves may be tainted.

I'm generally a fan of all or nothing, e.g. either go with building your own string, or else use helper functions for everything e.g.

.select('column').as('alias').where('id').equals(1)...

This means the framework can always correctly escape column names etc.

I ran into problems like this when doing an InfluxDB connector for Presto. The Influx Java client library mixed this up so it couldn't sanitise column names. I ended up just writing my own query builder.
The article is mostly bullshit. Any non-STEM topic on Wikipedia lends itself to cheap sensationalism and partisan politics.

So, thinking about it really hard and reading about it online:

My comment was definitely wrong: If Monty could have opened a car door, but just didn't, then duh the probabilities for the car to be behind the doors are different than if Monty always opens a goat door. So in that way, the intentions of Monty, meaning how he chooses, definitely matter.

But I think your example here doesn't show that? Are you trying to illustrate the Monty Fall variation?
> I once heard someone tell me that good OOP ends up looking very functional.

Immutability and thinking about if a class should really be stateful are the major wins.

I was recently looking over some code that essentially just did transformations, but all the inputs and outputs were member variables, so it took some effort to track what creates what and what depends on what. The members also had empty defaults, so if you mix up the order you call the functions in, the code still appears to work. It wasn't "wrong;" it was hard to follow and error-prone.
Yes it was a bit late (past midnight). Personal security doesn’t get enough conversation.
An IIR filter will always beat an FFT, but the most efficient way to implement longer FIR kernels is often with a WOLA or similar "streaming" FFT filter implementation. At some point, it takes fewer cycles to do N*log(N) multiplication in the frequency domain than to do N^2 multiplications to convolve in the time domain.

The crossover point will be system-dependent and heavily influenced by overhead, but a crude WAG might be in the vicinity of 64- to 128-wide kernels. There is no question of one implementation being "better" than the other, they are capable of identical results if implemented accordingly.
That sounds exactly what I was going through for the past 15+ years. I had many strong interests, but everything seemed like more work than it was worth doing. Depression and anxiety accompanied the low motivation. I chalked it up to being in a bad mood, and tried lots of mental health related things to fix that, with little progress over years of consistent effort.

Within the past two or three years, some health concerns started showing up - daily headaches, a near-constant lightheaded feeling, nausea, trouble focusing my eyes, stuff like that. Eventually, the near-constant nausea forced me to try some dietary changes.

It turned out that gluten was the cause of all those more concerning health issues. But to my surprise, it was also the cause of the attention and motivation issues that had plagued me for most of my life. After 3 or so days off of gluten, my mind suddenly felt so much more clear, and since then, I've been much more able to pursue my interests. I didn't get diagnosed, but the closest disorders I could find are gluten-induced brain fog (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7454984/) and the beginnings of gluten ataxia (https://jnnp.bmj.com/content/74/9/1221).

I'm not saying that you have the same thing, but it could definitely be a medical condition if you don't respond well to therapy or antidepressants. I wouldn't overlook the physical side of things.
They could just focus on the patients they are monitoring and stop taking new ones after their turn is over.
