It's worse than that.

Contracts are not code.

It's a complete misunderstanding to posit them as such.

Contracts depend first and foremost upon the legal regime in which they are valid. Every jurisdiction has rules, precedence, language means specific things.

There is quite a bit of variability in this stuff, which is why we have lawyers. And Judges.

Putting a contract into a crypto ... is basically pointless.

There's possibly more transparency, akin to publishing contracts on the web or something like that.

And of course, there is a 'narrow range of agreement possibilities' that could take place on crypto contracts, for example, things like stock options etc..

But generally speaking, even the contract cryptos are 'technologies looking for application'.

We don't want to 'nay say' new, dreamy ideas, but these new dreamy ideas, combined with a bit of hubris, arrogance, greed, lack of self awareness can create problems.
> Violent crime was very high in the 80s and 90s, after laws were passed that greatly increased prison sentences for violent criminals in the mid-90s, violent crime has dropped off a cliff.

There were continuous tough on crime efforts throughout (and beyond) the very long “crime wave” period, but there’s very little evidence that they has any impact on turning things around. Better explanations are the demographic bugle aging out of the age range that drives most crime, the lead-crime link, and the legalized abortion crime effect.
What particularly grated was that they managed to introduce bugs into udev and then say they didn't have the "expertise or understanding" to fix them:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/7157#issuecomment-...

(That bug was causing udev to give multiple disks the same name in /dev/disk/by-path, which I think is pretty much core udev functionality, given that udev was intended to supersede devfs.)
> A systemd solution would need a VM running Linux w/ systemd even on Linux, in some cases.

But that's exactly what happens with docker anyway (e.g.: Docker is still running in the Linux VM when running it from a different operating system). And considering the widespread systemd adoption throughout the Linux ecosystem, it's far more likely for systemd to be already installed in the VM than docker anyway.

JournalD is excellent. Indexing structured data like logs is the right thing to do. Log messages have a lot of useful metadata to do filtering on.

> Systemd could completely eliminate the need for stuff like docker by totally isolating a process.

It does: nspawn is much leaner than docker and it's available on all Linux systems with SystemD.
Anyone knows good alternatives with a similar feature set?
The pattern used here: "foo then bar" is identical to JS promises, I notice. Of course, it's more elegant when you don't have to wrap it in functions. But it hardly warrants an entire language I think.
Ok well whatever the opposite of "modern" is then. A language spoken only by Amazon tribes is not going to contain vocabulary for things related to technological advancement like computers
"That the legal system has no say over contracts, "

An agreement is an agreement subject to laws and jurisdiction. There's no avoiding that.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out in the courts.
I'm pretty sure I've seen some of those ad afiliate javascript libraries that add links to words in a paragraphs back to some random website that used a matching keyword that looked very close to your example.

I believe what the parent comment is saying is that since you can sideload apps on Android, if you want to roll back an update, all you need to do is grab the apk from a website such as apkmirror and then install it. The Play Store moving to app bundles shouldn't affect this.
There are situations where you can have a linked list perform faster than a vector. It's good to consider linked lists if you have the time to think about your solution and profile multiple options... but the point is that memory latency is a huge hurdle to overcome.

For context: A cold memory fetch is ~200 cycles. That's around 10 incorrectly-predicted branches. That's around 100 correctly-predicted branches. You need to be skipping a lot of work to justify injecting 100s of cycles of lag inside a loop of some sort.

(And, of course, those situations would need to be the common, relevant case. Don't follow a 10x performance speed-up in a one-off situation at a time no-one cares about to justify a 5x slowdown in a critical, hot loop.)

If you have big objects, then this might also start to become a concern. However, in those cases, a vector of pointers (or structs of pointers + metadata) would appear as a new challenger. In that case, you would only take the latency hit if you actually need to go to the object (and those objects could be held in contiguous storage, etc. etc. etc.).

Chances are that, unless you have data for your specific case showing otherwise, vector will probably win. It should be the default unless you have a reason not to, and evidence to back it up.

Because that would not reduce code duplication. I don't know if you have ever worked on any of the low-level Linux libraries written in C, but the amount of unnecessary code duplication across them is awful. The standard library features provided by glibc are extremely inadequate for modern applications, every non-trivial C project I've seen starts to include their own private implementations of various C++ things like hashmaps, binary trees, dynamically sized strings, unicode support, async event loops, etc.

For utilities that have to interact with low level kernel APIs it's even worse, every library seems to have to reimplement their own parsing of various other random things like netlink, or in the various pseudo filesystems like sysfs, procfs, cgroupfs, etc etc, the situation is really way out of hand. I don't know how to solve this in a reasonable manner beyond what systemd is already doing. Yes people will complain that they have a systemd dependency now but what else can you do? This is the exact reason the BSDs update the kernel, libc, init and core utils in tandem and consider a lot of the kernel API to be private, Linux was just slow to catch on in that regard.
Sounds great as a feature of your client, not of every single site.

I got tired of having to download loads of different apps to convert data formats, so I built an all in one[0]. The plan is to add more formats, I just haven't had time yet.

I theorize based on the previously published documents that they made up the previous shortfall in gains in holdings of other cryptocurrencies, via Bitfinex.

I would imagine that much of the recent issuance is legitimate. I, of course, have no way of knowing as they have never once been subjected to an audit. As I mentioned, I never touch USDT for any reason.
I was recently browsing LinkedIn and some random person had posted that they had a 'wikipedia' entry about them and were super excited to find out and that they felt elated to be recognized in that manner.

Everyone on that thread was congratulating him (which I guess is what people do when someone posts positive news) but the wikipedia entry was pretty much a copy paste job about someone that had a normal career (school, some job, now a PM at some co., early 30s) with normal accomplishments and it just smelled of 'self-promotion'. The wiki entry was also created two weeks prior by someone who primarily had only contributed this one major edit/post.

Obviously it's not something I felt was my position to point out by commenting on this congratulatory thread of someone I didn't even know but it just reeked of BS.

The irony is that people will see that LinkedIn/wiki post and ascribe some attributes to this person which will probably help him in his career and anyone who says otherwise will be labelled a 'hater' or some other term.

I guess my point is that embellishments and exaggerations work for the same reason that many scams work - a lot of people are gullible/can be fooled by them and it results in a net positive outcome for the perpetrators.
I think the big issue is using tools without verification infrastructure. Of course there are specification level bugs to deal with but hacks seem to be oh so often the simple "I forgot to initialise a variable" kind of attacks.

I think we really need to be splitting up code for smart contracts into 3 classes:

- Low Complexity, Automated Assurance: Non-turing complete DSLs that allow you to fully reason about their behaviour and catch bugs in a near completely automated manner. The only one of these that I know of at the moment is Marlowe however I'd love to know if more existed. This class should be easily accessible by finance people and should be near impossible to get wrong.

- Medium Complexity, Semi-automated Assurance: These are tools that are expressive and more code than contract however they may or may not be turing complete. These can catch a wide number of bug classes but may need manual intervention (annotations or proofs) to cover the last mile.

- High Complexity, Manual Assurance: The are tools that give you the full power of a turing complete language and all the landmines that come with them. I personally believe any smart contract written with one of these tools should not be used in production unless it is accompanied with a formal specification and an end to end set of proofs verifying correctness.

At least with this model you can judge the risk factor by how complex your application is. 90% of smart contracts probably fall into the first class and another 9% probably fall into the second. There really is no reason to be using a tool without any reasonable amount of assurances provided unless your project is extraordinarily complex (and even then it'd probably cost a fortune to run on a network) and even then there's no reason for these smart contracts to exist without any proofs backing them.

I find the fact that crypto is re-inventing finance from first principles to be really interesting.

I don't understand the intent of this comment, but one sentence stood out:

> It changes from "We guarantee we will distribute your app unmodified" to ... well, I don't know what you are promising, but it's not that.

The closest analogy would be a universe in which UPS insists you delegate the packaging of your product to them. Your product remains unchanged, but it's packaged with UPS's packaging which (for the sake of this example) may come with better assurance guarantees relative to your own packaging of the product you're shipping.

Point being: (edit: assuming no malicious supply chain interference; I'll get to this) the app is unmodified. Even with Google doing the signing.

I don't inherently see anything wrong with this, though I also don't think any physical carriers have tried this. Anyone have any examples? Even from other subdomains within logistics?

---

Edit: with supply chain interference (compromising build pipelines, etc), who signs the app doesn't really matter; the app is still tampered before it gets to Google's marketplace. The trade with Google compelling their own signing infrastructure is that it reduces the risk of compromised keys for individual development shops enabling malicious actors to sign builds on behalf of the developers.

WebP offers basically no advantage over good ol’ JPG in lossy compression of photos, which was the use case for this site.

I hear you on Core Web Vitals, but most sites will have a long list of more impactful changes to make before they could expect to see any measurable rank improvement by switching from JPG to WebP for photos.

well, yeah. The cynical part of me has a similar reaction: "This is typical of America", we also see a lot of comments here that justify his actions, so there certainly is a cultural assessment that this type of "showmanship" is kinda worshipped in America. I mean, who can argue otherwise with the success of Trump, Theranos, Fox News, Mark Cuban, Musk etc. Not all showmanship is bad but if lying or talking shit is too successful it offen leads to more sinister things like outright lies (well, these here are lies already, imo), corruption (because the success is not built on effort but on being liked, so you share your successes with your friends) and so on. Also if nothing is built on facts but rather on persona (like fox news) then we get in trouble when no one believes in climate change or doesnt trust vaccines etc. So in my opinion this culture of showmanship or populism or story before facts is not good in the long run. But it's entertaining, now isn't it?
...only until August, which is the entire point of this post. The very documentation you link to says "Additionally, your app will not be able to support Android App Bundles, Play Feature Delivery and Play Asset Delivery."; but, starting in August, all new apps must use bundles, and thereby will no longer be compatible with opting out of sending Google your signing key.
Thanks for the feedback! Right now it only works for NodeJS.

It’s a library that you call from the library you want to monetize, and you can pass the token as an arg within your constructor. It makes an API request to validate with our token service. It also exposes a few helper methods (see docs) to kill a library (e.g by crashing it).

It’s not a catch all, end all kind of thing. It just makes the library a tad harder to use without purchasing a token.

Maybe it is, I don't know. But I do know that I'm not ever even going to dip a toe into cryptocurrency because of the personalities of the people who are heavily pushing it. I am not talking about you.

Everyone I know who is into this is very strongly into it, and they can never really explain why. Lots of non-specific sentiments emerge, and rather quickly, but no real this-changes-things-because-of-X details or explanation about anything. It's the same pattern I've seen from people who believe in psychic readings and Tarot cards, except those two groups can get very specific, it's just about imaginary things.

Age is a superpower. I have a few decades behind me. You see patterns in behavior, because people are not snowflakes, and incoming generations make the same mistakes the outgoing generations have made, and must learn the same lessons previous generations have learned. This generation is trying the things that the other generations already tried, etc. Some things change, but the fundamental things people try to do with their lives, those don't really change much generation to generation.

Experience is a good teacher. Now, maybe I'm wrong about cryptocurrency, I'll gladly admit that. And I would counter by saying that "I'm seeing the same broad strokes I've seen previously, with different names."
The problem is that smart contracts do not come with the same capability to take your counterpart to a tribunal: you might not even know who your counterpart is, im which country they live or if there are multiple ones. Who are you gonna sue?

This is often claimed to be an advantage of PoS: you can't get an extra increase in rate of profits by being richer (beyond the linear increase you'd expect).

Good to see people down-voting a completely factually correct statement that they don't believe and don't want to personally investigate. Go read the systemd sources or read any article analyzing how systemd does dependency based startup and see for yourself.

In that case, as long as one is not intending to interfere with a search warrant or other legal process, it should be fine for them to deliberately install a Cellebrite hack.
