> In PoW coins you permanently lose the "stake". So that just means that to achieve the same level of security in a PoS coin, you have to stake a lot more (since you are only losing the time value of the stake).

PoS network security reduces down to top-down human intervention: because PoS networks are unmined, they lack all hashing power which could otherwise be used to build a quantitative fork ranking protocol. When forks occur in PoS, the network stewards have to “pick” a winning forked chain, and enforce that decision on the entire network.

Because there’s by definition no hashing power involved in reaching that decision, it’s a bit of a wonder why PoS networks rely on blockchains at all. PoS security doesn’t really depend on anything other than the level of trust you have in the centralized authorities who control the PoS network. In the best of cases, it’s akin to trusting a Debian-like organization to annoint a specific branch of a Git repository as containing the true history of changes during any project-level dispute.
Yes, you're talking to it. My businesses operate web apps but do not offer native iOS apps despite the occasional request. The hostile developer environment, high fees and expectation of ridiculously low prices simply aren't worth it in our view.

Neologisms are adopted just as quick in German. The difference really lies in the inherent ability by the language to convey meaning almost no matter how crazy the word is.

I am willing to bet that every German will likely understand Morgenkaffeesehnsucht, the desire for coffee in the morning (which I just made up on the fly).
Parasitic implies one party (implied the employee?) is left worse off than otherwise. If these jobs are being accepted normally it's because the local offers are worse and the developer is not good/doesn't want to deal with the international business side (inc. finding clients, negotiating, etc). So it seems that in a free-ish market, this relationship would be strongly symbiotic, right?

Interestingly in Japan they have "Key Money" and "Lock Change fee", which are two different non-refundable BS fees and they confused me initially. The key money also depends by region, with Kansai having it almost everywhere and in other areas "it depends".
> If you Google "1P 2P mailbox", you'll see that those labels are used for the doors on a mailbox for incoming packages, not outgoing mail.

Usually.

Then again, usually, clustered mailboxes are installed for use of multiple recipients with a small shared outgoing mailbox, not installed on the premises of a single entity at their demand for the express and sole purpose of collecting outgoing mail for a single union election.

Given what is publicly known about the mailbox (in large part from thr controversy over its installation and use that occurred before the balloting) it doesn’t seem plausible that this was a normal clustered mailbox deployed without modification, so it doesn’t seem reasonable to make conclusion about what provides access to what based on the assumption that it is.
> 1) There is plenty of research to support my argument (and I cited it)

No, there is very little. As I said, put "sat predictive validity" in Google Scholar and see for yourself. Overwhelming consensus in the field is that the SAT is one of the best predictors of college success, alongside GPA and IQ. You cited something, but it doesn't change the scientific consensus: you can find papers published in 2021 arguing that humans have nothing to do with global warming, but the consensus is nevertheless clear. I can give you 10 citations for every one you provide, each of which will be a better designed study than you give, but you could also just put "sat predictive validity" in Google Scholar to see them.

> 2) Lash out and declare me a "science denialist"

That's because you're saying blatant untruths about the state of the science. As I said, there have been literally thousands of papers on this topic, and the conclusion is crystal clear.

> 3) To prove your point you link to the College Board, which is the company that MAKES MONEY off of the SAT test.

College Board is not a company, but in fact a non-profit. I linked it, because it is a good summary of the state of the research. I also told you where to find the actual studies, but you'll find that it is the College Board that's making the biggest and best studies on this topic, as they're obviously very interested in showing their validity. Quality of their research has, as far as I can tell, never been seriously questioned by anyone in the field. If you have any other criticism, feel free to show it, preferably in a form of paper citing College Board studies and showing the scientific misconduct you allege them to perform.
Typically this is passed to production and not seen by devs. Ie. there's no point to handle NullPointer explicitly (programmer error).
It's not tautological. I don't think C#, C++, Java, etc. can have classes proxy for objects. Classes there aren't objects. You cannot write "return NewClass".

Python is prototypal in just the same way js is: inheritance is a daisy-chain of references between objects.

JS is "maximally prototypal" if you like, where any object may be refernced. In python, only objects of type "type": but that isn't a big restriction, as shown.
For most of us there are only a handful of people we need to maintain our credibility with personally or professionally. Once it’s gone, it’s gone.
To be frank s6 and its cousins like runit have so much fewer lines of code -- I'm pretty sure it's fewer than OpenRC and traditional SysV both -- because of simple and thought-through architecture. If you're gonna do a systemd alternative at all, ever, it'd have to be on one of these sane foundations.
Good article but I'm still struggling to understand CAP in practice.

In general, the whole distributed system will include some kind of database and some kind of application servers. What would AP mean in this context? That application server nodes are able to respond meaningful (ie non failing) responses even if they are unable to communicate with the DB? Wouldn't that require every application node to have a whole local copy of the data it requires to work?
VGA Mode is where the fun's at.

Yeah, the start is essentially Zen of Code Optimization, which was also a great book, but pretty much dated in 2021... but it's interesting to see how he thinks. The best thing to take away is not about picking the right instructions, but to use your brain to pick the right algorithms and use benchmarks
No, the alternative is that, with no clear owner of the bug, the ownership problem gets dealt with early, rather than having the bug go stale in a can't-fix-won't-fix state for months because the wrong people claimed ownership of the subsystem.

> * It drastically improves the upgrade process -- I never need to look at a 3-way diff of /etc/init.d/apache2 again

lol. I had to trash an Arch Linux box because it failed to upgrade systemd from 208 to 211. Everytime I upgraded the system hung trying to mount filesystems so I had to roll back.
Nice, will certainly check your project out. I created HttPlaceholder[1] some time ago. It is an open source mock server, which right now only has an on-prem version. I also have ideas to make a hosted version.

Edit: after looking through the comments, I found some 5 other HTTP mock server implementations XD Not that it's bad, just seems to be a problem that is tackled very often.

Are tax dollars not enough for public services? If not, where are those dollars going? People giving away 40% of their earnings, and still are required to burden themselves with providing profits for public services.
I'm sure most services would have no problem letting you do that, if they could also inform you that you're paying 30% extra when choosing that method.
Cool writeup! Also, this is painfully recognizable...:

Being able to hotswap more components in the data center without power cycling the server is becoming more useful again (I say again because this was a long standing benefit of mainframes). More than just hard disks, it's useful for SSDs, and now GPUs and other types of accelerators. PCIe supports hot plug, but it's rarely actually used.

Work on the Structure
Thank you, I have thought about this before and might do so in the future.

At work I routinely make things which I know are used by millions of people and I've never had a problem with that. In fact, I'm quite proud of my work. And I've long since gotten over worrying about others reading my code. I'm also a big proponent of code reviews.

But the code being public still feels really scary, even though there's so much worse code out there which doesn't get sneered at.

You are arguing that the platform and the app marketplace are inseparable, but many other platforms for personal computing have not had such a store yet have been popular with both users and developers. They provided tools and documentation for developers, often for free, too. Plenty more have had multiple marketplace-like sources for new software, not necessarily provided by the same organisation that built the platform itself. From Windows to Linux distros and from Steam to the plug-in marketplaces for many large applications, there is no shortage of counter-examples to your position here.
There is for example nixpkgs, which uses issues very differently to a conventional repo, and you can’t really argue whether the project is over/under stuffed based on that, since it packages almost everything. Some of the issues may be upstream bugs, etc.
This seems a bit convoluted. Another is the drop to 15% for subscriptions after the first year. I believe this only affects developers doing $1M or more in revenue. But still
That has the opposite problem to the employer controlling the ballots, no?
My experience with optimizing Python code after ~10y is that after a certain point it's just not worth it and you'd be better off rewriting in a more performant runtime once you hit that. That includes experiments I did with pypy, Cython and Numba for various projects.

I don’t see users as the enemy! Where did you pull that absolutely stupid idea from? ** DON'T ATTACK DEVS **. YOUR BEEF IS WITH A FRUIT COMPANY. My post states the facts - advertisers used to pay for the apps - now this has been stopped so users now pay for the apps!

My business is more successful because of this change. Users love the content in my apps. This change has not and will not hurt me financially. I am trying to explain why the dev made that change to you! Attacking the dev or offering junior level inexperienced advice will make no difference. Please take note of the reason why and who made the change that did this to you.
I built an open-source desktop API mocking tool three years ago: https://mockoon.com
I found the existing solution too cumbersome to setup, often requiring an account, online deployment, etc. And I wanted something really simple where you can throw a body, choose a status code and press play!

> First thing I do when changing or creating a thing.
Try to figure out WHY things are the way they are and run through some scenarios.

As a developer I often stumble across code and systems that are superficially idiotic. I just think "Why isn't this doing X instead?".

Here there are two approaches 1) blindly change the thing to make it better 2) Try to understand why it is wrong, and what led to the legacy design.

The sensible thing might be 2, but its also soul-crushingly boring. So I obviously always do 1. After ripping out some code and replacing it with shiny new code, you invariably find the edge cases that led to the legacy design.

They will show up as bugs, or edge cases missing. After a while, you will have iterated so that your solution might look something like the original (hopefully slightly better) but the important thing is you now have a system you understand fundamentally. You basically traded a few regressions for fundamental understanding of a system

Still, I think that the idea of using chatbots to further automate some non-trivial process (in this case it is price negotiation) interesting. And I wonder how long it would take to have a chatbot on the other side of the transaction, too, an with which results (an arm race? some obscure bug making your company to agree to buy paperclips for 1 million $?).

could it be a website instead?
Also like in real life, you might have spent the money.
Of course DHS isn't getting good reporting. If you report a break-in or a vulnerability to DHS, they don't do much.
We're speaking about digital work...

One aim of digitalization is to get data that is perfectly transferable and copiable.

Now if you want to artificially and needlessly make the copying cost some megajoules of energy, you will undergo the anger of people with a common sense an ecological sensitivity.

The whole concept of paying to get copies of music/art/whatever is broken, and to ”fix“ it we are bending the very laws of nature. Until recently it was still quite harmless, even the DRM you can live with, but now you need to prove you performed the combustion of tons of CO2 to become owner of a digital copy? To keep enforcing the unenforceable we are committing planet-scale suicide.

No, the real way to go, is the one of Patreon etc, where you pay to help succeed artistic endeavours.
You just wrote an entire thread on why BSV is the ONLY system capable of anything... Lol? That's the point toom -- the more TXs in the block, the more efficient the system. That's why Merkel's, that's why small-world... That's why no CTOR or check points. Because SCALING. BSV is O(1), none of the other "projects" are or even come close to O(1) which is what this site is very elegantly showing
A lot of your observations make sense. My speculation would be:

A) Japan has a more temperate climate

B) Japan is an island and was pretty strict about locking down travel and forcing everyone entering the country to quarantine for 14 days

C) Japanese culture seems to promote very rigid adherence to rules and proper social etiquette.
> If you're talking about being watched at a particular moment

But you're not; you're talking about having been being watched, something that was an ongoing process at the time (past progressive).

> And whether it's sinister or not is pretty beside the point.

People choose their phrasing because they want to convey particular connotations. So you can't just say "this is a simpler way to say the same thing" if it carries different connotations.

> I'm saying that phrasing is pretty darn unnatural English, sinister or not.

All I can say is it sounds perfectly natural to me, as a native (British/Irish) English speaker.
depends - but i often see a single, long thread of comments from the highest "voted" comment.

this makes it hard to discover lower ranked comments as it's now below the fold, and thus less likely to get votes either.

That's why i suggested a random sort, so that each top-level comment has a chance of getting visiblity and thus, remove groupthink and biases from discussion.

Of course, the top voted comments would have value - so that's why i suggested only doing this random sorting from aggregated old submissions, rather than for all submissions.

They are not needed for proper HTML. <html>, <head> and <body> are all defined as having optional start tags and end tags. It’s perfectly valid and reasonable to skip their start tags if you’re not putting any attributes on them. (I always skip <head> and <body>, but never skip <html> because I always have a lang attribute on it, and sometimes more, such as a class attribute. But I definitely still skip its end tag.)

There’s plenty of precedent for habitually skipping start tags in the HTML syntax. Few people write <tbody> if they are doing a simple table with no <thead>, because <tbody>’s start and end tags are both optional. <html>, <head> and <body> are the same.

(I’m spelling out “in the HTML syntax” here, because if you’re using the XML syntax—not common, but not unknown—no start or end tags are optional; if you write <table><tr>…</tr></table> in an XML syntax HTML document, you will get an invalid HTML document that lacks the <tbody> element.)

My Garmin use case is cycling and as recent as five years ago I was a happy user of various OSM based alternative maps. But even then, Garmin themselves had already switched their cycling devices to an OSM base, mostly giving up on the add-on map upselling business they had. These days, they hardly even try, as in the manual and packaging makes no mention of the fact that you could spend more money if you wanted. And their in-house OSM repackaging has become much pepper over the years, mostly related to how early versions were super stingy with geometry LOD, either for saving storage or for saving rendering cycles. Third party OSM were much nicer back then, but now there is very little reason to go the custom map route (unless you travel one of their two or three geo regions, which for some reason would still rewrite the paid download which they refuse telling you about, or somevof the easily available third party maps).

What I'm trying to say: it's hardly surprising if more and more of the people who ran a Garmin alternative hobby move on.
