I think my argument is of simplistic nature too. I anyways believe that I can make a more extended argument for why I believe it'll become difficult for states to extract taxes in the future on an deonic authority-basis ("there shall be taxes because we want it").

Coins cannot be taken away. Infrastructure can go darker to evade state-level control. Shadow economies are feasible. Hence, IMO states should create a friendly environment for the best possible outcome of their citizens. It's epistemic authority that the state needs to apply now ("You shall pay taxes because is a hard requirement for xyz to work").
Yeah, but it is very easy to get into more trouble than one bargained for.
You must be young, or only started reading about science in mainstream media recently.

The article is primarily trying to suggest that "OOP" has "died" so many times that it should no longer be used. As if OOP was an ideology to be committed to or not.

The most common and unhelpful exercise myths
Ask HN: Why does software development take so long?
The bank pin is more common, steam and other apps not very frequent. The less frequently you type in a password, the more you need a password manager, though. I also tend to store numbers like national insurance (it's a number not dissimilar to social security number), credit cards and such in my password manager (keepass).

I do agree you can open your browser up and check, if you have that handy. But I'm happy with not having to open a full blown browser to get to my secrets and not sharing even my non-browser related secrets with mozilla, google or apple. Anyway, my point was just that there are lots of places that are not web pages that you need to provide passwords to. And I'd actually say that people who aren't techy are more likely to have more than those, than, say, web developers, who tend to do everything on the browser.

That is very sound advice. I have to follow that.
What baffles me a bit is that, even in this day and digital age, there is apparently no employee left from MOS Technology that still has the old dusty manual - for internal use only of course - with all the opcodes documented and explained. Digital archeology is really a thing.
OP you replied to was saying the remnant waste brine from desalination may contain valuable lithium.
>(Here, for the “illegal” opcodes, we use the mnemonics used by the DASM and ACME assemblers, with the exception of “USBC” for instruction code $EB, where these use plain “SBC”.)

6502 assembly code is more sleek and beautiful and perfectly justified than most other assembly code, because all the opcode mnemonics are exactly three letters.

In comparison, assembly code in other CPU instruction sets looks so rough and messy, like the code was torn off along the right edge.

Kudos to the authors of that guide for respecting the lovely three letter convention for the illegal opcode mnemonics.
Fair point. I'd be satisfied nonetheless, because the land-ownership component of real estate investment is rent-seeking, that gains the holder value without generating value for society at large. If investment was redirected from land buying to purchasing other types of assets, it would lead to the production of more value in the economy, as unlike land, most asset classes involve man-made resources in which rising demand leads to rising production.

For example, if fewer wealthy individuals bought sprawling estates, and more bought high-rise apartments, we'd see more production of the latter, which would increase housing concentrations in high-productivity urban areas, and in doing so, apply downward pressure on rental rates in areas which offer the most economic opportunities.

Note that if you haven't previously opted out from similar plans for data sharing, you'll probably need to opt out of two separate systems this time, one for sharing your GP records and one for sharing records from other sources like hospitals.

The deadline for notifying your GP surgery to avoid data starting to leak appears to be 23 June.

Also note that in some situations, for example if you want to opt young children or vulnerable adults you care for out of these systems as well, you may be in print-and-post territory even if you could opt yourself out using an online system.

Over the last three months, I've made on average slightly more than two transactions per week, most of which is due to buying food every 3 or 4 days. Everything else is a rounding error.

Now I won't claim my consumption pattern is typical, but it certainly shows that 0-1 transaction per day is possible. (What are the five shops you visit three times a week?)
I bet that ZCash would grow for that reason, but it hasn't really happened. Bitcoin is not seen as flawed even though all transactions are analyzable.

> Performance-wise, this machine can almost replace a proper workstation.

This guy has never seen a real workstation.

Real workstation (from vendors like Lenovo, HP and Dell) usually come with Xeon-class processors (multiple, often two of them) and a shitload of ram (sometimes terabytes). And multiple disks.

Example: the HP z-series workstation and the ThinkStation series from Lenovo.

An "enthusiast"-class gaming pc is not a workstation.
Thank you so very much!!!
The main trick GPUs use is having a massive amount of hardware threads per actual core. If an instruction in one thread is stalled on a load operation, the core will just switch to another thread. If you have more runnable threads at all times than your memory latency in cycles, the latency will not affect your throughput anymore.
You prove my point. You had to create this insane macro to solve something that cmd-d does automatically in VSCode. And cmd-d is much more versatile, since the same concept applies to many other use cases.

And sorry I say insane, but not knowing the language, your macro looks absolutely absurd and as obscure as a sample of brainf*ck.

I refuse to learn such a complicated language just to create a macro that replaces cmd-d and cmd-z, just so I can brag that I use Vim.

When you communicate using harsh or even rude language many people will ignore what you said and respond to how you said it.

Are you arguing that the model proposed by the essay does not describe a semilattice? Or that the model proposed does not describe cities well?
If you are working with other people to figure out if a proposed solution could work, claiming "That Won't Work" is not a very constructive remark.

A far better way is to ask questions about the things that you consider flaws. It gives the others the possibility to give more information that you had not considered before or discover that they had not considered that problem. In both situations the group as whole has learned something.

For anyone (like me) who is no longer resident in England, you can find your NHS number with [1], then use it (plus a UK VPN) to opt out here [2].

As I understand it, [2] covers hospital data etc, but not GP data, which is the recent data grab and the subject of the article. I have written to the GP I was last registered at to see if they still hold any data on me, and whether they were intending to share it without my consent. I attached the opt-out form [4] anyway.

[3] says on "Minimum length of retention of GP records" that "Electronic patient records (EPRs) must not be destroyed, or deleted, for the foreseeable future.", and paper ones are kept until 10 years after death.

It might be worth mentioning that the title "Ars Conjectandi" is taken (clearly deliberately) from a much earlier (1713) work of the same title by Jacob Bernoulli, about combinatorics and probability. That title may well be a nod to an even earlier (1662) work called "Logica, sive Ars Cogitandi" -- Logic, or the Art of Thinking -- which was published anonymously and also includes some discussion of probability; probably substantial parts were written by none other than Blaise Pascal.

> And, I would say that the number of jobs that require the mastery of the craft is not large.

This mindset is how we end up with layers upon layers of badly designed and buggy software that underpins almost every aspect of modern life.

Just apply the same reasoning to other areas: Would you want to drive in a bus with a bus driver who just barely got his driver's license? Would you want to use a bridge designed by an architect who knows just enough to complete the job and does not care a bit for more?

It does not take mastery to write one-off scripts that "get the job done". However, they will probably not be a general purpose solution of the problem at hand, ignore corner cases, contain bugs… and the real test comes when requirements inevitably change.

If you want to write dependable, high-quality, maintainable, reusable software you better know more than the bare minimum.
The manufacturing process indirectly produces CO2 in the same way the staff driving to a nuclear power plant produces CO2. Aka it’s all indirect and could be replaced with EV and clean energy.

Nuclear is a non starter from a cost perspective at this point. You get vastly more bang for the buck subsidizing battery backed up wind / solar which can actually load follow without becoming even more expensive.
> Lightning network is for small transactions.

That's why I said a few transactions every day on average, as in 2 or 3, which seems a conservative estimate.

This is being attempted with lithium as well: https://financialpost.com/commodities/mining/meet-the-compan...
Entirely agreed. This has been my experience as well.
Couple of months ago I got a candidate that, if you just looked at his CV, was well overqualified for the position.

We were looking for a senior Java dev, we got a guy who had two degrees, 25 years of experience, and started no less than 3 companies. He also never sticked to anything for more than 2 years.

The insults started with his first sentence, before he or we even got a chance to greet each other.

We had some conferencing issues, the company just changed conferencing technology. In the previous any person could start the meeting but in the new one only the person who set up the meeting could start it. So there was some commotion to change the room.

When we joined (about 4-5 minutes after planned start) he said something to the effect that we must be new to this interviewing thing.

Nevermind, I continue the interview.

I ask him why he wants to work as a developer, given so much experience. He said he hasn't been programming a lot recently and wants to "dirty his hands" again. Hmm...

So we go to the technical part where he started manufacturing some false answers and after I pointed out what he says is factually incorrect he decided to critique the difficulty of questions he was getting.

I explained that we give same questions to all candidates for the position. I reminded I said at the start that candidates are not expected to know answers to all questions and that it is perfectly fine to tell us and to skip to the next question.

I sometimes tell the candidates (jokingly) that I give 5 points for telling me he doesn't know the answer. Though I did not say this in this case.

It only got downhill from there after couple more questions. After he gave another nonsense answer I did not say anything but he looked at me and said "WHAT NOW!" And then started tirade that I am not qualified to interview him and can we maybe set up an interview directly with my manager.

The article clearly shows that using the term OOP without further explanation is not helpful at all, rather confusing, because everyone has a different understanding.

Compare that the "functional programming" which in comparison has a glas clear definition, which makes it much easier to decide if some program is "pure functional" or not, avoiding prolonged and unproductive discussions.

Is autosync really that important for people?

I use keepass (so no custom browser extensions at all) and I always register for new accounts on my main device. Then, once enough entries amass I manually copy my database into all the other devices I own - usually once a quarter or even less often. That's it.

None of this works if the programmer isn't the same person that writes the docs. e.g. if you have a copy-writer come along and write/update the docs before each release, then its not captured in the same commit/branch/etc.
Facebook can invalidate all existing cookies, and with them Edward's access based on cookies. This is slightly inconvenient for users (they are logged out and need to log back in) but it locks Edward out except for where users are relying on passwords alone and Edward knows their password.

You as an individual Facebook user can also invalidate sessions you subsequently realise shouldn't exist and thus the associated cookie. Just realised you're still logged into Facebook on your mother-in-law's laptop that you used for a few minutes this afternoon? Go into Facebook privacy & security settings to see that session shown on a list, then click to log it out. If you are just worried that somebody has cloned your current session by learning the cookie value (I don't know what countermeasures, if any, Facebook use) you can log yourself out and get a new one, which of course invalidates any cloned session.

Well that’s clearly not true. Not sure if you noticed but most democratic developed countries are on the verge of population decline.

It’d be cool if they could combine this with extraction of Uranium 235 for a more sustainable source of nuclear fuel.

EDIT: For more context, nuclear power could be a great tool in reducing carbon emissions. I read somewhere that mining Uranium 235 from seawater at scale would cost roughy 2x to 3x what it costs to get the fuel from the ground at today's prices. I was trying to say that if we're going through all of the trouble to extract Lithium from seawater, it'd be cool if extracting Uranium at the same time made both processes more economical.

So basically his work is fiction?
no, the devs can't unilaterally make decisions on how the network works. There are decentralized nodes (very low-barrier to entry) that run the code; the nodes must actually run that code, and devs have no control over it. Then there are miners, not quite as decentralized because the barriers to entry are much higher here; they have to mine on that chain, which is also a way of "running" it. So the devs have to interact with two decentralized, in effect anarchist (in the political sense) networks that have to all consent to their changes. This is why changes are very rare (no push updates every other day like any other forsaken software!), and when they happen, they come with huge debates in the networks (check the blocksize wars).
