Potato potato. The set of people using the monetary system forms a community. “All Bitcoin miners” is a community, of sorts – one whose members trust SHA-256 but rarely each other, but a community nonetheless. (I do believe some of the more influential miners agreed that they wouldn't provide more than 30% or so of Bitcoin's computational power; that's the kind of move that naïve profit-seeking doesn't give you, so Bitcoin's miners already do act like a community.)
Can someone ELI5 what is an "immutable database"? If you can add to the table, that means mutation, right? I am missing something...

People have been doing that even before PrEP. I hate to even mention these people, but they do exist and people should know.

The drugs are very expensive, and are not side effect free. Still much better than HIV. That is why MSM (men who sleep with men) and serodiscordant/serodifferent couples (where one partner is positive and the other is negative) are the groups targeted with these drugs.

“Whataboutism” gets my goat because:

* It generally has no context. Yes, the West did something similar. It does not follow that the West will engage in the same type of systemic evil, that argument must be made on its own.

* Whataboutism often implies that naughty behavior is ok; that the hypocrisy of the West is justification for some further evil. One is at best making the argument that everyone is evil so just do it

* It consistently assumes the ignorance of particularly Americans - that if you just tell the dumb American that his government did something bad too, the scales will fall from their eyes, they will accept everything is evil and meaningless, and they will stop criticizing you

* the West is just plain better, on the historical record, at admitting and correcting hypocrisy. It’s a kind of meta-hypocrisy for these countries that never actually implement a liberal system to do such a great job of helping us improve ours, by pointing out flaws we’re secure enough to fix and they’re not.

Moreover, whataboutism does not prove that only power exists. Much the opposite: it proves that, at least in the West, moral norms can have force. Else why would Easterners bother with it?
Awesome work. Would be great if this is made as a wallperper app for Android/iOs.

In the Oxford English Dictionary there are 19 separate entries for "butt" with various disparate senses, including a bundle of cloth, a headland, and a funnel-shaped wicker basket. Some of those entries have complex, multiple etymologies, but the word "buttock" is said to be derived from "butt, n.6" for which the etymology is given as: "Of uncertain origin."

So there you are. Happy to be of no assistance whatsoever!

It's immutable in the same sense a purely functional data structure is immutable. You represent mutation by making a new version of the data structure. Of course you don't literally do that on the database because it would be inefficient, but there are several algorithmical tricks that can expose an interface that works as if.

As someone who used to be involved in the decision to not implement native context menus, and did a bunch of work on the non-native ones, I want to try to explain why this took a long time.

It has nothing to do with engineering resources, and we always wanted native context menus, but they were not customizable enough to meet the perceived needs of web, XUL, and extension developers at the time. People expected to be able to change colors and layout with CSS, for example. The native APIs put heavy limitations on what you could do with a native context menu and it was just not compatible with the expectations of people building against the rendering engine at the time.

There was some discussion of switching back and forth between native and non-native menus based on styling, but that got complicated quickly and it wasn't thought to be worthwhile.

It sounds like perceived needs have changed, and maybe the native APIs allow for bit more flexibility now. Glad it's happening, excited to see how well it works!
This looks great. I look forward to using this to verify unsafe Rust codes I write. (It can verify linear probing hashmap, which is very impressive.)
While I agree with you, the truth is that among gay men, the use of condoms was already in sharp decline despite HIV, and before PrEP being so ubiquitous years ago. So while this medicine might have made people forgo condoms faster, it also came at the right time to prevent youths from a life with HIV. Furthermore, each new PrEP prescription (prepscription?) requires tests for a series of common STIs so at least guys are getting tested regularly now.
I remember playing this on the Atari ST - my manic pixie girlfriend back then called it "hoppity, skippity, jumpity". But it was perhaps a bit too hard.

You would be able to query and INSERT but not DELETE and UPDATE.

This is useful for example in banking applications that keep an audit trail for example.

A sysadmin would not be able to update or delete items in the audit table and so can't cover up a crime.

If the database is tampered with at the file level, they have a way to detect that. (Probably some kind of merkle tree.)
I would like to have such a database based on git. Where every change is a git commit. This should then work with things like github where you can connect to your database via github api. The db git repositories could be either private or even public. You can then deploy a serverless webpage to gh-pages and use a serverless gh-gitdb as storage.

> If they do, it's just like a non-migrant worker.

It isn't quite. Imagine dollars leave the US, get sent to Nigeria, and eventually return to the US to buy some music.

Compare that to the case where the dollars do not get sent to Nigeria, but remain in the US.

In the latter case, the Nigerian person wanting their music needs to find another source for the dollars to buy their music. That in turn makes the dollar more valuable, and reduces Nigerias buying power for US products and services.

So you think the head of the constitutional court being an active politician with 12 years in parliament is a minor deviation from a platonic ideal? That is exactly the same as what the OP mentioned.

The German constitutional court is stacked with political appointees.

Sure, the situation in Hungary might be even worse. But western countries in the last decade have completely lost the moral high ground.

You can not imprison journalists like Julian Assange in solitary confinement in conditions that amount to torture, and then complain about lack of press freedom in other countries.

You can not pick your party colleague to lead the constitutional court and then complain about political court appointees in other countries.

This kind of selective outrage is just ridiculous.

I doubt that the land borders will remain open and easy to traverse. It’s likely that this is the beginning of an escalation on both sides.

Beyond that, Poland may be bordering Belarus, but Poland is a huge country. Berlin to Minsk is 1,100 km, a 12-13 hour bus ride at minimum. Add a 2-3 hour wait at the border to be realistic. This all adds up to a much longer trip than a 1-2 hour flight. Especially for immigrants that are probably visiting home for a weekend trip and can’t afford to waste 3 days just on traveling.
I wish CMake would have kept the engine but change the syntax to something more sensible.
Distinct? It seems to just be a rephrasing. How will we create unused capacity? We'll take money from some people so it can't be spent on whatever capacity they want and so spend it on the capacity we want.

On that level MMT isn't particularly troubling to me. The thing I don't like about it is when the proponents start implicitly talking about having politicians directly control the money supply. The status quo has the Fed - which ultimately is a creature of congress but there's at least a bit of inertia for congress to enact its will and the Fed has room to do things outside of that will.

Ada is one. It splits the interface (specification) and implementation (body) into separate files (.ads and .adb). This is also unlike C which just does a "copy-and-paste" wherever the #include occurs.

This also makes its formal verification (SPARK dialect) nice because you can add pre and post-conditions to the interface without cluttering up the code body.
> you can be pretty confident the data is accurate if you join the network.

And how do you know the network you're joining is actually the original ethereum network and a completely different blockchain?

Like every peer to peer network in existence, an Ethereum node needs to connect to a reliable first node (a “tracker” in the bittorrent protocol, idk what's the name in the ethereum world). If they are down, you're on your own to join the network, and you have little guarantee that the network you're joining is working on the original ethereum blockchain.

In fact, after the ethereum foundation is gone, what guarantee do you have that you are running an actual ethereum node and not something running a modified protocol?

Some of these questions produce obviously weird responses. E.g.:

> Do you have better music taste than average?

Of course I do. Logically everyone should evaluate their own taste in music to be better than average, since your own music taste determines what you think constitutes good music taste. Somehow, only about half of respondents selected that option, though. That's interesting.

So, if I buy a device that runs Fuchsia (say, this Nest Hub), is enough of Fuchsia FOSS that I can run my own copy of it with e.g. a different UI and without Google services? This is true of Android devices by necessity as the kernel is GPL (bootloader locking aside); is it true of Fuchsia devices?

As for bootloader locking, Google releases some Android devices with unlockable bootloaders. Can we expect the same of Fuchsia devices?
When you have to manage a decent number of users and multiple gateways, you need something to help manage that - whether you write it yourself or use something off the shelf, you can't reasonably just use Wireguard out of the box.

Not to mention that Wireguard is really only one component of what would normally be considered a VPN - the other part is the network routing which depends on netfilter/iptables/ufw etc., which can be quite complex.

I get the impression a lot of people think of "VPN" in terms of their own simple personal connection to some gateway or small set of machines they control, but that's just the most trivial use case.
Several databases (MS SQL Server, MariaDB, Postgres with appropriate extension) support system versioned temporal tables (added in the SQL2011 standard, though I don't know if any DB entirely follows the standard) which I'm pretty sure counts as "queries across time".

Maybe they are claiming to be the first with it built-in as a core part of the engine that it is specifically optimised for, but even that might not be true.

A currency exchange is a zero sum transaction. Whether it is US dollars or Philippine pesos makes no difference, the value stayed in-country.
