"I will never own a home" is not the only reason. The whole financial system is "fuck you this and fuck you that, incl. when you least expect and depend the most, and we won't tell you why". Yesterday here were news about PayPal terminating an account without explanation again (by the way, even when they don't ban you, their verification and customer services are a disaster anyway). This bullshit has to stop. Every person on Earth (even those with questionable reputation or even convicted felons) should be able to wire/accept some reasonable amounts of money (I don't advocate letting terrorists make million-dollar deals) freely, no questions asked, like in cash. It's a basic thing in today world, like eating and shitting.

Paintings have provenance. If you own a Da Vinci you're literally able to touch the canvas that the master himself touched. Your ownership will forever be apart of that works history, and it's yours to enjoy privately and exclusively whenever you want. It's an indulgence.

Nobody will ask you in 20 years what it was like to own an NFT, because they can all have the exact same experience by just looking at the blockchain on their device.

Humans ultimately value stories and experiences, and anything that gets work out of the way so we can spend more time having them.

> Cox also began to write art criticisms (unsigned) for the New York Evening Post. This and other writing jobs took Kenyon's time away from painting but also helped him make a living.
I believe this is the wrong way to put it.

Personal computing never existed for the average consumer. The computing market was filled with hobbiests, specialists, and those needing a computer for some task. EG, authors typing manuscripts (part time work?).

Since then, the average consumer bought phones with extra fluff on it. They use it as toys, gimmicky things.

During that time of the average consumer buying phones, general purpose computing device use had still grown. It has merely shrunk as the overall percentage of "computing devices owned by people".

Nothing has died. General computing device purchasing and usage is at an all time high..

There are some legitimate use cases for NFTs but art is not one of them.

The best use case I can think of is a kind of DNS domain name system. The domain name is an NFT; it's unique and it provides value as it can be integrated with various systems.

The intrinsic value of crypto and NFT is in software integrations.
Well to be fair that is how my coworkers (and I) think too. The one with the latest commit get a ping when the top break.
University of Northampton hit by “huge” cyber attack

This is actually a thing in the EU (and the UK), because of the Artists’ Resale Right Directive. However, it has very little influence on the livelihood of artists, because the economic value of most art works peaks when they are first sold. So the people who benefit from the resale right are a tiny minority who didn’t really need it in the first place.

It’s not dissimilar to copyright, where almost no estate gets to profit economically from copyright decades after the author’s death. Basically you get rules made for the appealing exceptions rather than the norm.
I'm a bit torn about this. For example it is generally believed that say SONY should not get a cut if I resell a CD I've bought. Why should this be different for paintings?

OP may have also been thinking of this older thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23283675
Game design is hard and asymmetrical game design is incredibly hard. Game developers can hardly make symmetrical cooperative systems that properly take advantage of the multiplayer aspect. Borderlands, for example, doesn't add unique systems that take advantage of the fact that there are multiple players. There's no unique mechanics to bosses or enemies. There's not really interesting synergies that you can take advantage of by the different classes.

When games do coop well, it's usually an inherent part of the game. If you can make the assumption that there is at least two players playing together, you can create unique and interesting ways for the two players to interact on screen. "It Takes Two" is a recent game that was designed explicitly for two players and you can immediately tell the difference from it to a game that cooperative modes were an afterthought to the solo mode.

Games requiring more than one player immediately alienates a lot of players and limits your audience a lot, so that's probably why pure coop titles are extremely rare.

As for asymmetric titles like Mario Galaxy where the second player is not essential, it's pretty hard to make the gameplay satisfying for the secondary player while not impeding the first player or making it feel essential to the gameplay. The "little brother" mode costs a lot with little perceived benefit for the developers.

Crypto (and NFTs in particular) remind me of the tale of The Emperor's New Clothes.

I accept that maybe Ethereum could be valuable (I don't really understand smart contracts well enough to say..) and if they move to proof-of-stake that will make it more sustainable. Likewise, the sheer anonymity of something like Monero might be valuable for the black market.

But everything else just seems like people seeking a "greater fool" to sell to.
I've spent years, working in offices in London and not being thrifty with £, in fact spending too much on overpriced sandwiches, coffees cakes etc... but how on earth do you get to those numbers ??
We've all heard the stories of "collector buys 10 Jackson Pollock's for $10 in the 70s, sells the collection for $100M today".

Sure, but to be fair, only the smallest fraction of artists would have that happen - and most often, it happens well after the artist is dead. In general, an artist is lucky if they sell art for cheap prices, and even luckier if they sell at a decent price.

And with this, it would generally look more like, "artist sells NFT for $75, and two years later got a $8 payout from a resell." Not to mention that you won't get anything for folks gifting the NFT nor any other non-monetary trades.

And back to the "long after they are dead" detail: Who, exactly, gets the money? I mean, by all means, give the money to any immediate family - sibling, parent, spouse, children - or anyone else that would get inheritance from me. But after that, wouldn't it just all go to the owner much like it does now?

Our people who use docker for some of our infrastructure have taken to using locally rolled images (from scratch or by updating official ones) for this reason.

I don't think any of the issues found when we scanned were actually exploitable in our config, but we need to be a bit more careful than just hoping (due diligence & security-in-depth and all that - an unknown flaw elsewhere could expose one of the issues and that in turn allow some form of DoS, data exfiltration, or arbitrary code execution).

We were surprised how much excess stuff, much of it out of date, is in some official images. Sometimes even the required dependencies seemed slower to be updated than we would prefer.

I do not recognize any of the difficulties you mention. I was a Gnome 2 user since 2.4, 2.6, right up until the end. Around 2.10 things stabilized, wel before 2010. I loved it, and I still like Gnome 2's fork. I tried to like 3, but unfortunately I don't see how the mobile-criticism isn't valid, or how it made things easier or better. I wasn't and am not someone who tweaks and tunes, but Gnome 3 was too much simplification, for me.

I can imagine it's tough to read if you're a Gnome committer, but I would hope the points raised are seen (although evidence seems to indicate it isn't), not the fact that there is criticism.

The way I see it, Gnome now is a bit of an anti-gui: it seems to be in retreat of actually providing GUI for doing things. This may be what some people want, mobile guis are the same (and I protest that too), but whereas before I had the impression Gnome was big enough to suit different sorts, now it seems those who don't like the narrower goal Gnome has set for itself just need to move on. And I have, in a great reversal of history, KDE actually feels like the modern Gnome 2 that never was (I disliked KDE 3 and 4 with a passion).

I don't think modern Gnome is the right DE to be the default in nearly every distro, because it has become so opinionated. There are other DEs that to me seem better suited to that role.

Then again, I couldn't tell you why Android-iOS (I barely see any difference) is what it is, so maybe I'm just old, different or some sort of UI-minority.
Ask HN: Has Google search got noticably worse recently?
I'm not usually on the bash Google bandwagon, up until very recently Google Search has worked perfectly well for me. But I'd say in the past month or two I've begun to notice that for some queries where I'm searching for something I know exists it just doesn't seem to work very well?

Specifically this has been around looking for specific episodes of podcasts, youtube videos or news articles that I know exist and I know I'm using search terms that line up with what's in the descriptions/content of these media.

The specific example that pushed me over the edge to write this was searching for a news article I know exists on Battlefield 1 sales numbers, instead google's showing me the standard stuff (wiki articles that don't have what I'm looking for) and telling me about battlefield V or the new battlefield that's about to release.

I'm not sure what they're doing but it's starting to feel noticeably worse than it was before.
Huh, so its not only me. My grandparents came from Libya in the late 1950's, but for some reason the very north of Africa doesn't quite qualify for most people as African "enough" for me to be of African descent. Feels like for many people the benchmark is either skin color or not coming from a traditionally Arab country. A similar thing happens to acquaintances of mine of Tunisian or Algerian descent.

NFTs are like taking a Picasso, making a copy, shredding the original, and signing a paper that says the copy is actually the “real one”.

100% the same thing
Just a little correction. NFTs, and crypto in general are critiqued as ponzis, but they are more accurately described as pyramid schemes, whereby early adopters rake in the lion's share of profits. Ponzis are where later investor money is used to pay out early investor money in a fraudulent never ending cycle.

I obviously don't know your relationship with dogs, but my initial reaction was that anybody who knows them well would disagree; not only do they have a sense of humour but they will also grin to show it.

Admittedly, this is can be somewhat off-putting because the smile doesn't reach their eyes, so perhaps they are just mimicking us, but whatever it is they are indicating an understanding that a joke is intended, beyond normal happiness and play.
Maybe I misunderstood what the original poster meant by "anchored", sorry.
This is exactly zero change from regular artwork. If I sell a piece of art, the copyright is still mine. You can sign it away, of course, but otherwise they have to get permission to do anything with the image other than display and store it (and the stuff that goes along with this).
RFC 4180: Common Format and MIME Type for CSV Files (2005)
> Using a hash table for at most 3 entries is astronomical overkill! The field for the number of components in a JPEG file is only a byte - so even if you were to support more than 3 components, it would be 255 at most, and sane JPEG files are unlikely to have more than 4 in practice. So fixed-size arrays are the perfect solution. I have a very good idea why it was written like that, however: the mere availability and ease of use of abstract data structures naturally leads to their overuse by what seems to be an overwhelming majority of developers, and the eagerness to "futureproof" and add unnecessary complexity is also very common.

> Overcomplexity creates bugs, and (leaky) abstractions hide them. Even if the complexity (and bug) isn't visible in your code, it's still there. If the initial code had been reviewed by me, it most certainly would not pass.

I suspect in this case the problem is trying to use this style of coding in a language like C++.

If you implement this in eg Python, using the hash table would have been perfectly natural and the simplest way to do it. (And a modern enough Python would guarantee your ordering.)

In Java, Haskell or Rust etc something else might have been simplest.

Exactly. Germany banning plastic straws while simultaneously funding a new natural gas pipeline feels very much like they just want it to seem like things are improving.
I tried doing iOS dev years ago. Apple had me fax them my driver's license. You can whine about the FSF all you want but I've never had to do that to use gcc.
I get your point. But with regards to climate change, the goal has to be to reduce CO2 emissions substantially within the next ten years. Even if the entire German population would become great advocates for nuclear energy overnight (which it won't), there is simply no way that a massive expansion of nuclear energy production would be possible within the next decade.

Median construction times for nuclear reactors is around 8 years. https://www.statista.com/statistics/712841/median-constructi... Not sure if this includes planning times (probably not entirely) and I doubt that the reactor would deliver maximum power immediately.

Smaller scale renewable projects can be (and are) realized in a fraction of the time. They are proven technologies that continue to become cheaper. And of course there are gigantic potentials in terms of simply using less energy. The German (or any) government could simply mandate that all existing building stock would have to reduce their energy consumption by X% over the next ten years. The technologies for that exist, are used every day and the only limit on their deployment is the required capital, to which governments have pretty much unlimited access.

RockyLinux Community Update – May 2021
If you want this discussion then you are on the wrong site because it is specifically mentioned in the rules not to do this. This adds nothing of value to the thread but it does add a lot of negatives (and lots of racism).
Right, but the individual vector spaces you speak of there are the tangent spaces of a manifold M. There's a vector space TpM attached to M at a point p. And the point you make is that there isn't necessarily a canonical way to relate vectors in TpM to vectors in TqM for p≠q. In this sense, we may well say that "a vector in TpM is anchored at p, and a vector in TqM is anchored at Q". I agree with that, obviously. However, within a fixed vector space, of which such a TpM is merely one example, there is no notion of vectors being "anchored".
For what it's worth as a person who just uses Linux as a development platform and does not want to tinker and wants something that works out of the box and feels as polished as Windows or macos, gnome by far comes closest and I'm very happy with it.

These days I can just run the latest Fedora release and it simply works.
Find a recruiter and say you want to do some contract work, its a seller's market at the moment so unless you're CV is absolutely dire you'll have work within a couple of weeks.
Yes. Pointer chasing datastructures really want to live in a language that has a compacting and relocating garbage collector.

If all your objects are doomed to die where there were born, you better put them in the right place. (So an array is good for C-like languages.)
The only point that I agree from OP is about stronger work/life separation which I need to work on. My work days drag a bit more while working from home. In the beginning, I was even working during night which I never did when I was working in the office since I left my laptop at work. This was also because I am single and everything was under lockdown. So I didn't know what to do with my time.

Some nitpicks (not directed at you at all):

> When we develop security solutions, we develop them without looking down on the user or thinking of them as som[e]body that we have to protect almost like a parent-child relationship. We try to build a solution that gives them control over their own security.

That's many words for saying we don't have any sort of security measures.

> Because all the code in the root file system of the Librem 5 is free/open source, all of it can be reviewed to verify that it doesn't contain backdoors and doesn't do anything that the user doesn't want it to do

At most it answers privacy but not security. Also, non-existent security can so easily add a "backdoor", especially on top of an all-memory-unsafe environment where memory bugs are everywhere.

But I will give them that they do list basically all my gripes with it:

> It lacks a secure boot process to verify that none of the boot files have been changed.
> It lacks a hardware-backed key store.
> The apps are not run in a secure sandbox.
> PureOS doesn't have shim kernel drivers that do most of their execution in userspace libraries like Android and iOS.
> PureOS doesn't have low-level protections such as Control Flow Integrity and ShadowCallStack in Android and Pointer Authentication Codes in iOS.
> Most of the operating system and applications are written in memory unsafe languages like C and C++.
> The Librem 5 lacks a permission system where each app is required to ask the user for permission to access parts of the phone like Android has.

And unfortunately the answer to these is that there are some distant plans for some of these. Hopefully both desktop and mobile Linux will improve heavily in this area in the coming years.
I don't think that's the problem. The problem is that Universities aren't punished for teaching inadequately. And when challenged, people justify it by saying, "ah, but this course that 90% of you took so that you could be prepared for a career as a developer wasn't really about being a developer."

Not sure the binary comes into it. The map in this language has a more complicated API than the array (because iteration is a bit more complicated).
