Well I’m a libertarian and an Austrian economics / hard money enthusiast so I grant that my love of crypto is influenced by my politics. If you are a statist that loves government authority, its benefits will be be drawbacks as decentralized money is an obvious attack on state power.

The power of decentralization is to reduce the power of centralized entities. Even within decentralized networks, centralized nodes (companies) gain power. But in decentralized networks you can choose alternatives. In state-run networks, your only option is the state as guns prevent competitors. I like free markers / free minds / private wealth / private power.
> Haskell uses the seriously complex machinery of monads to do I/O, supposedly without side effects (I don’t accept this).

The consensus of many highly intelligent people knowledgeable on the subject seems to be monads allow you to maintain a pure language while performing IO. This shouldn’t make it an incontestable fact, but probably should make disagreement worth more than a throwaway line — that is if you want to avoid looking like a crackpot.

Ah, so it's about board schematics and your parents HP was just a sidenote. Yes, it would be nice if every manufacturer would publish board schematics so performing component level repairs would be easier.

Louis runs an Apple repair shop, so he complains about the availability of Apple schematics. Seems reasonable. It's not like the schematics aren't available, it's mostly the hoops you/he has to jump through to get them and even if he/you has them he might not be legally allowed to use them.

And this all ignores the aspect of you complaining about not having a service manual for a 500$ machine and Louis complaining about not being able to service a 1700$ logic board (which, if he can't repair it, might mean you have to pay full price to replace a 3000$ laptop).

Just look at Windows Phone, the biggest sticking point of every single device was that the app support just wasn’t there. While it’s hard to say with certainty, it seems that’s what ultimately stopped the platform gaining any traction.

The real thing is already broken if you're at the point of buying these parts. The entire object is already e-waste until you add new parts.

E-waste turned into functional object is a good thing even if it's achieved with used/rejected/counterfeit parts.

>This is a 1 man regime, possibly 2-3-4 men regime.

It is gross oversimplification. It's basically political/special service elite (bound with personal loyalty) and thick layer of rent seekers (from oil & gas billionaires to countless bureaucratic sinecures).

Even if we assume that all power is indeed in hands of one person, who will gain power once he is killed and current system collapses? Ones who can act fast and are not hindered by too much reflection or morals: junta, blackshirts and organized crime.

>run out of money

No. Point is making desired behaviour more profitable than current behaviour for regime stakeholders. When risk coming from asset freeze becomes larger than risk from change in government - system will start to transform.

>holds passwords

That doesn't work that way. It's actually opposite - wealth is often spread among many loyal figureheads, with actual beneficiary holding nothing on his name.

>Norko

Russian regime is as far from classic totalitarian one as it is from european democracy. Probably even further, as it's basically democracy corrupted to the point of switching to new aggregate state.
I agree I dont care about reparability by third party as long as the devices is literally made indestructible. But If it cant be made that way, why the trade offs?

Why should I loss all my Data on MacBook when its CPU, GPU, or logic board has a problem?

Why does repairing a keyboard require replacing the half of the laptop.

And why are these repair so expensive.

It is all about balance. And a lot of these balance in Apple seems to be disintegrating since Steve Jobs passed away.

> I don't think there's a single OSS license that'd force corps to pony up. Too restrictive terms and they'll simply go looking elsewhere.

There is no such license, and there can't be. Just as a license that prohibits use by the military can't be open source, neither can a license that prohibits use by, or requires payment from, corporations.

Dual licensing under GPL (or AGPL) and a commercial license is the closest you'll get, and it relies on the aversion many corporations have to the GPL, rather than adding restrictions per-se.
Not exactly the same but we’re on to our second used MPV and we love it (first was run until no longer roadworthy).

There’s something deeply satisfying knowing that the rather expensive family transport you bought was built with utility in mind rather than mildly impressing oncoming motorists.
Absolutely. We have lots of small business clients on a tight budget and this sounds like a bad deal even in that case.

> 11 years from introduction, no one has come up with a use-case for blockchain

This seems an odd claim to make. Currently there's hundreds of Cryptocurrencies using blockchains as a foundation, and more than half a trillion dollars tied up in them. Right now it seems like they're at least speculative investments. If this does not count as a use-case then we'd better break the news to essentially all of finance.

Years ago before the values jumped you could do plenty of actual currency things with cryptocurrencies: there were ATMs, you could buy beers at a pub or pay for server hosting (something I did myself), etc. Because of all of the speculation cryptocurrencies have generally become too volatile for that. Nobody wants to find out at the pub there was a market crash and they can't cover their outing. At the time though, it all worked and had incredibly low transaction fees.

Then there's the applications for areas like logistics, supply chain, that are all under development. IMO it has absolutely established itself as a technology and like everything new people were quick to try to apply it to every problem and found it largely didn't fit most places. That doesn't mean it isn't useful.
Well the worry is that you spend more money on a part that turns out to be unusable, so you end up with no device and less money.
Borrowing from someone somewhere else in this thread, banning all air travel into and out of Belarusian air space seems appropriate.
Yep that's fair.
Why do you need a blockchain for that? Gambling and Insurance existed both long before blockchains.

No they get the billions from their intellectual property. There's a bunch of pro-user, pro-Apple, and pro-developer reasons why they are the single source for apps and payment processing, but that's not the source of the billions, as I just explained.

There's a bunch of reasons why it'd be a PITA for everyone involved if they were forced to do this, but no matter what happens the revenue sharing is never going to go away as long as Apple wants to keep that business model. All the frictional costs (more lawyers and accountants) to verify they collect the right royalties is exactly why courts are ultimately going to side with Apple, because the current system is the ideal one for all parties.
My own guesswork answer: a 'useless project' necessarily combines a personal interest with the total absence of external obligations. Productive work sometimes has the former property, but rarely has the latter.

A successful useful unpaid project might feel like an obligation, if there are users and a community around it.

Just to confirm you are aware that spaceX will likely have the largest deployed fleet of satellites with optical links? They will have not just studies, but hands on experience operating these things at scale in space to space communication.

Europe loves to come out with these white papers and industry studies and collaborations. It's basically an exercise to hoover up govt funding. The commercial side is very weak in most cases.

They've been pushing Galileo as taking over the market AND making a ton of money in the GPS space. No way. "Due to be fully operational by 2008, Galileo would have “a four-year monopoly on the improved technology before Americans can catch up,” making the 4 billion system a profit center for the EU."

Arianspace is supposed to be launched Ariene 6 at half the price of SpaceX. "“Ariane 6 will have twice the mass and twice the volume of the Falcon 9, at less than twice the price,” Bonguet said. SpaceX is at $50M retail launch price, and cost like likely < $30M per launch internally. So this means Ariene 6 pricing is going to be in $25M range?

It can get a bit tiring to hear these things.

The one thing Europe is good at is putting attorneys and lawyers to take down US companies rather than actually competing with them.

-12 V was used for RS-232, which uses +12 V and -12 V levels (with a very wide tolerance band). Having a separate supply for this was a design decision which was pretty much instantly obsolete with integrated charge pumps: All RS-232 outputs are running off of charge pumps running at (-2) and (+2) ratios, so +-10 V levels with a 5 V supply.

I don't know what -5 V was used for. Maybe some analog circuits somewhere, very early MOS logic also often had awkward supply voltages (charge-pumps made this obsolete too, just like high-voltage supplies for EEPROMs).
I opened quite a few, and I wonder if they have bleeder resistors around the tube..

Love2d was the first 'real' game engine I ever played around with. I made a bunch of silly little games with it. My only real problem is not really to do with love2d but lua itself. Debugging lua is a pain. There was one debugging addon I remember finding for love2d that was sort of hacky and didn't work that well.

Otherwise, honestly it's a great little engine and like you say, if you're pretty new to programming and want to try making games for fun, lua and love2d is a great way to go.

DTLs aren't "computers" its just that some build a computer into it to create a decentral computer.

In its raw form a DTL does not compute an output but ofc all participants compute signatures and such stuff to validate input and reach consensus.

This is not a competition to a single computer as load is no distributed its the exact opposite. Everyone checks the rules of the system.

Which is a good thing, War rarely turns out well.

An appropiate reaction would be to stop overflights of Belarus - which both eliminates the risk of Belarus forcing down civilian planes, and reduces Belarussian income
The really obvious weakness in any blockchain setup is the software. Whoever controls the software upgrade channel will always have potential control of the blockchain, whether that's the official entity in charge, or some intermediary.

If you want really widespread distribution of full nodes, you need to make a consumer-friendly distribution of the node software, and package it and keep it updated in a way that regular users can run it and forget it. This same convenience introduces a centralization problem that obviates the whole point of running a distributed ledger.

This is a point so obvious I hesitate to make it, but I've learned that in blockchain territory there is no flaw too obvious to point out.
Are many people actually applying for enough jobs for this to have a major use? I know there are plenty of stories of new grads needing 300 applications to get a job, but how common is that? How many jobs were you applying for to inspire this?

As an aside, I like your use of the Chrome extension as I built something similar at my company for legal research.
Decentralization is good, but it’s almost by definition not profitable. It’s in centralization that you get profit (pre-mining is a bit like centralization).

BitTorrent: good, somewhat decentralized. Not super profitable.
This is a GCC codegen backend for rustc, so it gets to reuse the existing Rust frontend for free, but benefits from GCC's optimizations and support for more target architectures.

Contrast with GCC Rust (https://thephilbert.io/2021/05/14/gcc-rust-weekly-status-rep...), which is attacking the problem from the other side by building a GCC Rust frontend in C++.
That one will help with bootstrapping, which currently has to go through mrustc and many rustc builds.

It's very nice to see both of these progressing :)
I haven't really had any issue in the USA either. I would say 99% of what I've bought was as described. I tend to not buy the first cheap thing I see though. Never got a bad drive, usb key, or kitchen gadget like these other comments are saying. I'm not saying it doesn't happen though. I have received some duds but I turned around and sent them back and left a bad review. I probably should be better about leaving good reviews though, that old human nature thing about being easier to complain than to congratulate is kind of true.
No other company, as far as I am aware, has 2nd hand parts seized as counterfeits. Until another company does that, Apple is undeniably the worst

2 layer boards with smd components are now cheaper than single layer and through hole - simply because through hole requires more labour to place components and has a substantially higher failure rate (bad joints).

There is already a PoS chain. After the ice age in June/July, there will be another PoW chain as well. It will be up to individuals and exchanges to decide which one they want to do transactions on. And they might even choose "both", as in the case of Ethereum and Ethereum Classic.

I think you're overlooking the fact that the pilots were not the ones who chose to land at Minsk. The fighter jets "escorting" them make that decision for them.
That would create a floating ground, and systems needs to be designed for it. Because likely motherboard ground is connected to chassis, and it connected to earth, while power supply most likely have it's own ground connected to earth.
The Magna Carta grants rights to barons, not common people. Unless you were a baron, it was pretty irrelevant to you.
That's running only a fraction of the network, though. The concerns are whether or not it can scale (or at least those have always been my concerns), and I'm of the opinion it won't work.

I hope I'm wrong.
Dielectric absorption is a hazard for HV capacitors that are charged to over 1kV in normal use, since they can recover to dangerous voltages.

Mains filter caps will be lucky to recover a few dozen volts, which isn't going to do much (and inside a PSU, if the voltage is high enough it will try to run and quickly discharge them anyway.)
There's a ton of stuff I make (especially for hobby projects) where I'm pretty sure it wouldn't really matter. I'd love to fidget with stuff like this, especially since I just acquired a wide-format inkjet printer.

It’s a little disingenuous to pick the last four years, if you look at the last four decades, you can get better context of wages as a percent of gdp.

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=2Xa

The last four years represent a short spike, of which there have been many, but with the overall trend of decline continuing. Treating the current inflation as more than a short term worry will cause wages to revert to their multi decade trend.

Edit: and if you broke out median and below wages as a percentage of GDP, it would likely look much worse
That's why some blockchains have multiple implementations and don't use auto-updates. There's also some work on taking governance out of developer's hands (e.g. Tezos where users vote on new features).
Having looked at some Hollywood-focused products and services recently, this type video is similar to a “reel,” and from what I can tell this kind of presentation is typical of the biz.
It clearly offers much improved scalability since 2 on-chain transactions can support hundreds of off-chain ones. Certainly, there are still limits on the number of transactions it can support in practice, but those numbers are orders of magnitude larger.

500€ is 5 hours of labor. If you are skilled and everything works right away you may only spend 2 hours on the self-maintained solution which means you save 3 hours or in other words … nothing. You also have to maintain/update the system, maybe spend time teaching other people. It’s not worth the effort.

If you don’t have expert knowledge in the required tools/services, it will take much longer than 5 hours to set up the self-maintained solution. If you are unlucky “you may need the help of a professional sysadmin.” … Again, saving nothing.
