It depends on the manager. It can be a good opportunity for feedback to go up the chain / get additional context / nuance, discuss strategy, is it time to ask for a pay rise, are there any minor issues like not writing thoughtful descriptions for PRs...

Of course you can have these chats ad hoc, but frankly often that can distract and derail other conversations and meetings. I like my boss, and I value our 1:1s and frequently (for example while I moved country) just making sure I was OK, my partner was OK and we were settling in etc. those kinds of issues can build up over time too.

If it's just an exercise, kill it - but if it's creating value for both parties, then keep it up.

I've had a weekly all hands where basically the CEO just wanted to waist everyone's time being brought up to speed and hashing out everything with everyone there. In the same company I had a sort of HR contractor who basically ended up providing emotional support and an avenue for honest feedback of management as a sort of 1:1, and the all hands was an absolute waste of everyone's time (because it was only really for the CEO), whereas those one to ones actually helped bring about positive change in the company, and clarity on what wasn't working.

I'd have started from the same position as two parent comments, but I have actually benefited from gold one to ones.

My current boss and I decided to reduce frequency, as we didn't need it, and then upped it again during pandemic just as an excuse for a walk and talk outside with another human. Be flexible, and get value or cut it out. But writing off 1:1 entirely only works well if you're having the right conversations elsewhere.

Finally, I have mostly worked at smaller companies where it's not an opportunity for senior management to aggressively monitor performance, constantly try to push you and find excuses for who to fire / promote / move to other team. I guess in a larger business with middle management and politics, 1:1s can be more toxic and less productive...

Reading this yesterday I was impressed a grocery chain managed to get a pure propo piece into the NY Times. Well done, H Mart PR.
That's not true though - you'll still be talking to everyone on every homeserver that yours can reach (or can be reached transitively)! When matrix.org went down for a bit a few years ago, I could talk in the same rooms with everyone on a homeserver that wasn't matrix.org flawlessly, even though the room was first created on matrix.org. I struggle to see how Matrix could be less available than IRC, where I've experienced many more netsplits.
It's more that ease of setting up a new community makes the network effect nearly negligible which mitigates a large amount of the personnel issues that usually crop up when it takes more capital to get something going. It's really got very little to do with the centralization or corporation backing it directly.

That's true. irccloud exists but no discord equivalent for self-service virtual IRC hosts. And hosting an IRCd is not a simple task; even the most basic "services" like chanserv or nickserv are not simple to get running securely. Not even talking about client-side certificate authentication as supported by OFTC and suchlike.
So I buy a small amount of crypto with every paycheck, and this year is the first year I had to report selling some of those transactions that had those tiny purchases as a cost basis. It's very annoying to do it manually, as you apparently are supposed to report every single one of those weeks, and calculate what portion is from which cost basis, etc. I was feeling very overwhelmed with the thought of doing it manually.

But I tried one of those bitcoin tax websites this year, and was pleasantly surprised how seamless they made it. After paying and importing my data I had the full tax forms in minutes.

Thankfully I didn't owe anything for it last year because it was a temporary panic sell during the big dip from the pandemic happened last March or April, so I basically broke even for taxes, but thankfully I came to my senses a week later and bought back in again, so I still got to fully benefit from the bull run this past year.

But yeah, it's not worth taking the risk of getting audited, imo. I still wish it weren't a taxable event just for switching which crypto you're in though, especially if it's on the same exchange, and only got taxed when you buy goods or services take it out to USD, but oh well.
> fiefdom of power

I keep saying that this is something discord pushes subconsciously and it makes a lot more places unliveable.

On IRC chans feel more open and sociable than discord. On discord most servers come up with a lot more rules, a lot more steps (get a role) and people were often very tense. I had very sad and angry bouts on irc but it was rarer and about a topic disagreement / douche behaviour and not about bowing to a small group view on how to talk or laugh. It really gave a sect feeling. Then there are the slughtly5 political discord servers where you get a background check before the right to see rooms. Really odd (unless you're deep into anthropology)

You don’t form a quitting pact to leave your home of 20 years at the same time with 10 coworkers and start a rival service unless you’re REALLY committed.

Almost the stupidest thing an investor can do is try to illegally evade taxes. It is pretty much all downside and no upside if you walk through the likely outcomes.

Either double theoretical, paper wealth or lose actual time to a jail. One of those is realer than the other.

Avoiding taxes is critical, but breaking the law is foolish.

Are you considering them together, or against one another? I'd have considered Purescript, which compiles to javascript, to compete with Scala.js, but I hadn't realized (but now do) that purescript has a serverside component as well.
I totally agree with that sentiment. Not only about evolution but in general. A good programming language trues to use unifying concepts as much as possible.

Fortunately, Scala is one of the best (statically typed) languages in that regard that I ever used.

Scaling for one. If 95% of your workload is non-transactional reads, why introduce transactions?

If your writes are single table and don't require transactional safety, why introduce transactions?

If you need complex, multiple-insert or update writes, transactions are great, but that can also be accomplished in a stored proc.

In a high-velocity environment, avoiding transactions are a great way to get more throughput out of your database server with lower latencies.

Combine Postgres with pgBouncer in statement mode and you can scale it pretty dramatically.
Yes, remember that presidential candidate Bernie Sanders also got smeared with Russian interference, so it is not something only used on Trump or Trump supporters. In my country, Sweden, alleging connections to Russia or Putin is often used in the political discourse to silence individuals or groups, without any sort of proof. It has happened both on the right and the left.

We have to remember that many journalists in the west are funded by the security apparatus or any of it subsidiaries.
If the FBI wanted to catch spies, I bet they could find a few at Los Alamos labs. I’m sure there are. Besides, military contractors are constantly “inadvertently” sending classified materials to questionable third parties and get fined at most and no one gets prosecuted and sent to the penn.
Patents are a joke.

One of my old jobs holds (software) patents on my work. I built some pretty clever software, but I wouldn't have said that I "invented" anything.

The actual content of the patents is absolutely ridiculous too. Here's an excerpt from one of the patents on my work:

> There is also provided a system for identifying software capable of capturing personally identifiable information, comprising a module arranged to connect to a remote server via a local device, the module further being arranged to send at least one request for data and retrieve at least one packet of data in response to the request, and an identification module arranged to receive the retrieved at least one packet of data and determine whether the received data originated from a third party server other than the remote server, and if so, determine whether the received data received contains evidence of the presence of personally identifiable information

It's almost indistinguishable from nonsense claims generated by GPT-2 [1].

Also, half the claims in the patents were for features that, in the end, were never even implemented.

But worst of all, I'm not even credited as one of the inventors. I don't care one iota about the intellectual property, they can keep all claims to that, I just want the bragging rights.

I feel as if it depends a lot on the code.

I sometimes read code for fun. Some code read like an essay, some like a book and other code read like a collection of poetry. So I feel as if all 3 can apply, sometimes some of them at the same time.
There's some weird history there. For most of the project's existence, Scala 3 was known as Dotty. It was basically a research project, and it was recognized from the beginning that it was a different language than Scala, largely due to the type system semantics...the goal being a formally defined, fully sound type system (Scala had some edge cases that made it not sound, even if it was more sound than most languages).

However, the language resembled Scala, was created by the same person, had some cool capabilities that a lot of Scala users longed for, and it was a chance to "start over" with some of the more questionable design decisions that had been made previously, so there was a lot of questions and pressure to make it Scala 3.

So it was decided to no longer treat Dotty as a second language, but rather to find a path to migrate the existing Scala ecosystem to this new language. This transitioned the project from a relatively slow-paced research language into a full fledged and funded project with an urge for engineering not just tool and ecosystem compatibility, but also bytecode compatibility with Scala.

So for most of those 8 years, there was no objective but to create a better language than Scala. Then very rapidly (maybe the last two years), it went from "this is a completely new language" to "these language ideas will be incorporated into Scala 3", to "this will actually become Scala 3 and we're working on a transition path".

And from the perspective of someone who was aware of Dotty and a regular user of Scala, that felt like an extremely fast transition. Especially for a language that took years to make much smaller changes in the past (2.10->2.11->2.12 felt like an eternity).
> In a quick search of the web, we couldn’t find any website actively exploiting it but we still felt the need to report it as soon as possible.

I've seen popup-based exploits on less-legal websites (e.g. torrents, keygens, illegal streaming of live sports and/or movies) a few times over the years. I'm unsure if they're executing this specific exploit though.
Thanks, that's really helpful. Followup questions though:

- Does this mean if I buy 2 of these devices at the same time, it's possible for me to get the same attestation keys on both devices? I guess depends on how many batches at a time a company is producing.

- Doesn't this mean that attestation keys will get more unique over time as devices from the pool fall out of circulation and become rarer? Are keys rotated to prevent that (ie, would a manufacturer ever re-release a new pool with the same keys as an old one)?
I did this many times, usually on the verge of a burnout. Almost every time, except for the final one, it helped me identify the pain points as well as the highlights, find ways to fix the underlying issues then get back to speed and regain satisfaction from work.

The IRS stopped auditing those people a while ago, because they cost too much up front to audit and sue. It’s the middle tier where all the audits happen; rich enough to evade their taxes, but not so rich that they can afford good lawyers who make collecting difficult.
> Nowadays, I see a lot of people just borrowing against their holdings

Perverse incentives setting us up for disaster. I don't really care about crypto until it becomes heavily leveraged, after which it's basically 2008 again.
I find it interesting how the IRS picks its targets. Facts shows the the most wealthy skip the most taxes. Yet the IRS has a hard time going after the most wealthy because they have the resources to fight it.

The more recent crop of folks that have made money in crypto don't tend to be among those ready to fight the IRS hard, they are softer targets. They are targeting the little guy on purpose.
That's probably why so called memory palaces work
> Will the bank require some kind of information

Crypto doesn't go through the banking system. Miners for example can spend the mined crypto and for all practical purposes nobody will ever know.
> You can go to Europe and have excellent custom made shoes for about 200 USD.

Good lord, where? I'm aware of one place in... I want to say Romania? That can get you down to around $350 for custom shoes, which is about the same cost as middle-high quality stock shoes. Cheapest decent shoes I'm aware of that are available in the US are Spanish (Spanish company, Spanish designed & finished, but mostly manufactured in China) and start around $200, but that's not custom-made (and also you'll probably have to order them online, as I think they have one US store and it's in NY City, and few or no other stockists, last I checked).

Most other options in the US are $300 and up (new—again, you can save a lot of money buying used on, say, Ebay, though at the cost of time). I doubt you could get anything custom fitted and made for under $500 in the US, and I'm not sure where you could go that would be that cheap, even. Europe does have more options for that than we do, it seems, but the prices are mostly similar AFAIK.
Well, in your case you'd be able to claim that loss against the taxes you paid from other gains, right? So really, maybe the IRS owes you money. :D
If You Want to Hide a Classified Program, Try the Department of Energy
The biggest problem you'd have is energy cost. Bitcoin (and proof-of-work cryptocurrency in general) mining is very competitive which means the profit margins are super-thin and you're competing with people who get their energy very cheap, possibly even illicitly.
You mean like how the Clinton campaign paid a foreign intelligence broker in the UK to dig up dirt about her opponent?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steele_dossier

I find that "truly genuinely concerning" and totally expected given who the Clintons are. Trump has so much dirty on him but this isnt it.

Feigning outrage over one if these corrupt politicians but not the other is purely political partisanship and not productive.
Right, people who want what Discord offers are already on Discord. For everyone else (the people that are still on IRC 20 years later) Matrix is probably more what they're looking for.
I'm sorry but as far as I'm concerned "If it is what you say it is, I love it", which they admitted was a true thing written in email and meant what it obviously meant, completely justified the entire Mueller investigation.
Did FBI investigate Bernie Sanders and his associates?
Sorry, maybe I was wrong. I was looking at this article https://docs.scala-lang.org/scala3/new-in-scala3.html and I had an impression that they split implicits into several other more specific features.
"Externalities" isn't the right word to use here; Bitcoin miners pay for the resources they use to mine Bitcoin.

But there is a positive externality associated with Bitcoin, in that it serves as a check and a balance against authoritarian governments, present and future.

Hence why it's important to ask these questions.
It’s good to have something like this. Last time I worked with libav the only available good documentation was the official examples and the ffmpeg (the tool) source code itself, along with the comments in the headers.
The days I spent chasing implicits are still lost to me forever.

Yes, you have to be carefully not to get margin-called, from what I've seen most people that have over 10M+$, tend to borrow up to 25-30% of their collateral's value (for example[1], this person borrowed 82M$ using 228M$ worth of collateral).

That's for network-level drama, sure, but in my experience most of the day-to-day drama was at the channel level and anybody can start a new channel.

And back in its heydays there were enough big IRC networks that you could just hop from one to the other if the admins became a nuisance. Then you had an eggdrop bot synchronize both channels during the migration, good times.

Implement it using homing pigeons.
The fact that multiple people very close to Trump (Manafort, Stone, Gates, Flynn), both personally and operational, met with Russian intelligence agents and assets helps the argument that the DOJ should be looking into Trump himself.
Agree. That said, keep it somewhere only you can see until you act upon it (if you even do).

That sounds like a bank account. Are you criticizing USDC for not being as safe as paper dollars in a mattress?
That's a good distinction, thank you. But how would we have mathematics at all, if we could not compute? How can a statement have any meaning if you cannot 'read' it? Both require time to be intelligible. That is the problem I am wrestling with: it is only from within time that we can make sense of something existing timelessly.

The cookie value has to be stored in some sort of map\dictionary that links to the session data. If the cookie value is a random string, you don’t need to store any more data than you would with a hashed cookie value. Or maybe I’m misunderstanding your point?
Well if you use something like maker, you can keep the loan open for pretty much forever and not pay a single dime of interest as long as you don't want your collateral back and make sure to not get liquidated. Ideally, you borrow a little conservatively to avoid liquidation.
Yeah I wish more people were brutally honest to me
Up until 10ish years ago, the most popular SQL DB didn't support transactions in the default setup. So lots of apps got written without relying on having transactions, either for compatibility reasons or because the devs grew up on said nontransactional DB. So autocommit was an easy way to emulate transactionless SQL on the rest of the DBs.
This can be avoided by offering a same-day backup restoration engineer deployed on-site with your last X backups?
In fact, this sounds like exactly the kind of thing my managers would want.
