> I still do not understand why it even exist? Is it a tool to get around trading in USD? Why is it so popular?

You can’t keep USD in a crypto wallet, only tokens that operate under various protocols, ERC20 being the most popular. ~Most people don’t keep their tokens or USD on an exchange on a long term basis (probably not a bad idea given past events), so they need a way to keep USD in a crypto wallet they manage themselves. So you get tokenized forms of USD, so-called stablecoins, to fill this need.
I haven't tried Duolingo in the last couple of years, but I thought it wasn't the best to begin with a language.

It's pretty good to learn basic vocabulary, but I felt you would need something before, just to get some grounding in the language. Like basic grammar, and a very high level overview of how the language "works". You can infer some of it from the example, but that's a lot more difficult than already having this context in my opinion.
No, why?
It's all P2P.
I don't think it follows that because they can run on linux/wine compat they don't require excessive privs.

Maybe low level hardware access is not the right term, versus excessive privileges that the hardware acceleration libraries require?
Conversely, I like that there's a language whose first priority is not "how do I become economically useful to the media industry as fast as possible."

Time is the most important thing we have. That’s a major reason why prison is a deterrent. Practically everyone with significant capital trades it to gain more time. To deny this aspect of capitalism is straight up absurd.
Are you sure? It's been a while since I ported it to C++ and so maybe the code has changed, but doesn't the producer have to wait for all consumers to consume, and don't consumers have to wait for the producer to produce?

The BlockingWaitStrategy was mutex based IIRC.
Engineering is about tradeoffs, even though both projects do validation.

The points you made are all very valid points.

At my employer we use both projects. If the data is very nested, or really large Maat is used.

Paging through HN for the last few about similar posts about Scalable Agile, there’s hardly been any comments.

Those of which were negative, I’d guess one would be more moved to moan if one had had a bad experience over a good one.

> but games currently seem to require such low level hardware access...

lol, no. The industry has converged on a small number of engines, which is why you see so many cross platform games - back in the day that usually required subcontracting out the task of porting. Also, what is it that you imagine they need to poke so deeply in hardware that they need to bypass the kernel?
libfive is a new CAD kernel based on functional-representation. It seems like a good library to use to make something like that, if anyone is interested.

If you’re adding together the phases like that, European houses are 400V instead of 230V (and yeah you can get 400V ovens etc)
I'm pretty much of this point of view as well. Guess my point is that BTC/ETH/XRP etc... weren't started with scamming in mind. They were genuine projects in their own right. Of course the market and investment in crypto is now 99% scam territory. Chains like Ethereum and the Binance one are now just platforms for scams enitrely.
I found that section really helpful. I've been writing Haskell (on and off) for years but I hadn't realised that the noun thing had created a sort of mental speedbump, which is now gone.
The scenario that scares me is somebody dabbling in an instrument like a CDO where the bitcoin hedge is tether rather than bitcoins. I don't know whether anybody has been stupid enough to confect something like that with these dodgy products but it seems almost inevitable somebody will try.
Absolutely, I meant "don't use them for IO", didn't mean to imply they are not used at all in other pure, strongly typed functional languages.

I still think they don't often come up in algorithms research, though.

I've spent the past week attempting to learn about the reaction-diffusion algorithm[1], and trying to translate it into Javascript code which I can then use to build an online, interactive generative art demo in a 2D canvas[2].

Sadly, it's gonna take me some more learning and experimenting to get there.

[1] - https://itp.uni-frankfurt.de/~gros/StudentProjects/Projects_...

[2] - All the online code examples I can find are using three.js or WebGL shaders and I have a stubborn belief that this is doable in vanilla JS using the 2D canvas API. Just because I've failed so far doesn't mean it's a Bad Idea!
And not getting matches on tinder doesn't necessarily mean you aren't photogenic. When I used it I didn't get many matches either. Later I went on a trip and swiped through Tinder out of boredom, I suddenly got a lot of matches. Not very helpful because I went back home the next day. I think it's important to remember that Tinder varies the "exposure" you get by a lot, for seemingly arbitrary reasons.

@OP Easier said than done, but try not to make too much out of this. I think the recommendation for doing some activities with others is a good idea.
One of the weird parts of fiat banking is that a public institution is almost 100% privatized. This is fine during normal times but during crisis it doesn't work because we want to keep the public institution part alive, which involves saving the private companies that caused the problem.
> Don't use android app compat, or rather, don't use any external library.

This feels like the analog of the "10 GB node_modules" meme.

I wonder how much of the size explosion is due to feature bloat, inefficient implementation, backward-compatibility stuff, and external libraries...
The Oculus VR goggles (who has a TV anymore?) serving you Facebook ads also has attention sensors (hey it's already on your head, so it was easy to add that 5 cent brain-wave sensor!), and if your brain ever thinks "Hey, that looks interesting", they'd just tell the poor Deliveroo "contractor" to drop off the device at your house, for a "Free 7 day trial. Throw it in trash if you're not interested!".
Gotcha, I suppose I was thinking about the hardware and other drivers. Games sometimes implement special audio, network, video stuff.

Point taken, do you think there is any reason they can't run with locked down privileges or is it all anti-cheat?
> There is no "better" version of you now.

I mean, if someone is fat and unhealthy, then sure is a better version of them. If someone has wishes, goals and plans for themselves, then there is a better version of them, when they achieved everything they wanted.

If it's not, then why try to improve yourself? If you are the best you ever were, then why try to reach for a higher purpose?

As an eastern European, this kind of saccharine mantras feel like self defeating, toxic positivity, ambitionless kind of things. The western people do like them, for some reason.
Stablecoins (over collateralized, 1:1 collateralized, etc) on chain do float. They rely on arb or other incentives to keep them near a peg.

They are only immune to the degree that the market mechanics in place surrounding each of them in particular to incentivize people to keep them pegged.

Can't wait for people to start complaining about uncollateralized decentralized stable coins that will eventually be even more leveraged against other stablecoins that are backed fully by USD deposits (or over collateralized by crypto assets, or even USDT [can hear the screams and pearl clutching now lol]) where there is no specific entity to go after like Tether Ltd…

Im glad for this all, because I think we are quickly approaching the point where we will no longer be trapped in bailoutistan… where risk will need to get priced in and over capacity/ team save-zombie-companies/ bad trades at tradfi bank desks and overall malfeasance (and failure to hedge against such) will be punished severely.
Both HOA’s and landlords are often a major problem when buildings have issues. It’s why local government is involved at all rather unlike single family homes which don’t get inspected.

However, that doesn’t suddenly make it the governments sole responsibility.
Regardless of your feelings on how you feel the companies treated you at that time, know that it is unacceptable. It’s disgusting that someone with no proof can do so much harm. It may not count for much, but these companies have shown their true colors and I’ll have no part of them. It’s unacceptable that how you’ve been treated. I’ve been making games for over 10 years and I’ve admired you as a writer for almost 20 years. I have seen you in person, but I was too shy to approach you. I take accusations of sexual misconduct very seriously because I have witnessed it myself first hand. I can’t accept anything that this Karisa person says as truth, too much of her story is different in each retelling. I’m sorry you have to deal with this. Know that there are people in the industry that believe you and would still love to work with you someday.
Annoyingly, most news sites are reporting everything on percentages since it gets more clicks. Daily Cases jumped to 10 to 200. 6M (of 10M) or so of all people in Israel are vaccinated.

Mmmh interesting requirement! Indeed, defining very nested structure with Pydantic is one of its weaknesses.

And of course I agree 100% about tradoffs in engineering. However I usually advise against using 2 dependencies doing mainly the same thing if possible within the same project.

Anyway, good catch, thanks for enlightening me!

> violence … the collective has a right

It’s a noble concept, but, “the collective” has never been historically distinguishable from despotism by whoever controls the money that pays the people authorized to do violence on its behalf. It is the nature of power to consolidate.

Signing is a useful measure. But not by itself. There are several harder admissions to be made.

The security business is very lucrative ambulance-chasing. A business-grade OS needs high-confidence evaluation and design.

mWindows cannot be safe while being all things to all users, with backward-compatability extending three decades. It may be time to split the product into more than just artificial marketing tiers.

Rewrite the OS in a safer language. I won't pick one, but Microsoft is large and sufficiently profitable to know what to do and how to do it. mWindows 11 should not just be a change of curtains and doilies.
If you don't understand why anyone would choose something that many people have chosen, you might want to be a little less bold in announcing what motivation those people must all have.
The problem is the cheats use kernel drivers so the anti cheat providers have to to keep up.

Whenever I make a PR for a bug fix or a change in behaviour, I'll check the LOC delta. Given all I'm doing is changing an existing thing, rather than adding a new feature, I would often consider it a soft red flag if the LOC has increased substantially. Now, obviously sometimes I'll stop and think about why it went up and decide that it's inevitable, but sometimes it will help me realise I wasn't properly utilising code/logic that already existed in that service. I might not be able to have low-code/no-code, but I can attempt to avoid high-code whenever possible.

I suppose I'll take option #1, if we're saying that "attestations" are not a form of auditing. It seems pedantic to me, but maybe your usage is correct in the regulatory/accounting world.

To use GUSD as an example, this is the document in question: https://assets.ctfassets.net/jg6lo9a2ukvr/4HRkKKmHejTvQ32jfv...

It is not a full audit of the entire history of the movement of the funds.

I agree that having a full trace of every penny publicly available would increase trust in GUSD.

I suspect that if you're an exchange partner with Gemini, you could ask for more visibility into how the funds are actually being allocated when they're not being summoned for attestation.

Keep in mind that the risk here is insolvency, and the firms best suited to evaluate that risk are also the ones holding large amount of GUSD.

I don't know if regulation would be helpful here or not. I think exchanges considering holding GUSD should accept the risk of possible insolvency, and adjust their business to account for that risk, perhaps by buying insurance.
One possible model is to view existence as a 3-dimensional space of body, mind and soul.

Your AskHN hints at a crisis of the soul. Recognize this. Specifically, this is not a crisis that any sex or drugs or rock'n'roll can address (more than temporarily).

Nor is it really an intellectual question, though you've come to an intellectual venue. If philosophy could quench this (all too frequent) thirst, that beverage would have long since arrived.

I can only offer you what worked for me, the Gospel. Read it prayerfully and carefully, for its counter-intuitive saga is the meaning of life, and is capable of delivering meaning to you.

Best wishes to you in dealing with everything.
If USD is suboptimal how is USDT better? You said yourself that it’s value is tied to USD. Wouldn’t it suffer from the same fluctuations?
Evidence of aliens would be one of the biggest humanity's biggest events. It would not be a national security issue. "Military hiding evidence" and "population could not handle the truth" is movie and tv-trope. Any scientist looking for evidence would have a duty to inform the public relatively soon, no matter how classified.

I agree with Avi Loeb that astronomers should look for evidence of intelligent life as well as natural objects. But the likely alien artifact would not be some stuff that is always a smudge with many good alternative explanations even when sensor technology continues to improve. The most likely source of evidence would be from astronomical observations. Not from earth.

The report is not ruling out aliens. It's not even mentioning them. Not feeding the trolls is a good strategy.
In a related note the US Supreme Court just 10 days ago vacated a previous ruling against LinkedIn blocking a Scraper service. So the issue is back to the 9th circuit for a new determination that might, if reversed, change the landscape for Cloudflare and anyone else these operators try to sit behind.

I don't understand. Why would Tether send USDT if they didn't receive a true deposit of an equal amount of USD? That doesn't seem like it would help Tether at all.
This is off-topic, but the reason why I stay away from Arch is that it has not once, but twice, just fucked itself from right under me.

First time around I was just getting up and running and as I installed python3 there was some mismatch between some very core libraries and I couldn't roll back since the library in question wasn't available anywhere, but python3 package (or something that came along with it) was linked against the old one. Only "work around" I found was to symlink the current lib to the old's path.

Second time I just just running bog standard fetch & update. Then I rebooted as is normal after you update and it no longer booted.

Arch is fine hobbyist distro and you for sure have to live on he edge, but I wouldn't use it for anything you expect to be able to use every day at a moments notice.
" they would have discovered this method back in antiquity and we would have had something resembling skyscrapers for thousands of years."

Uh. Rome had 7 story buildings and probably some 8 or 9 story buildings as well, even though they were actually against the law [0]. Fire safety and, in some regions, earthquake safety were the two dominant limits on height of ancient buildings, not absence of elevators.

But elevators generally need a source of power. Prior to steam or better electricity, that meant human or animal power, which would be very impractical in residential buildings in a city. Pre-industrial elevators were rare because their design was awkward.

I agree, but I have a counterpoint. Kate has been my editor of choice for all text editing things, I think since times of KDE 3 (so you see it's a long lasting preference by now).

However, I have always used JEdit to copy-paste huge text, like anything beyond 100k log lines from some software. JEdit seems to handle everything fine, while Kate has always hung up on me during some 10s of seconds (any kind of parsing or colorization are disabled in Kate, and the minimap is too... after that wait, everything works fine though).

Turns out, VSCode handles this kind of pasting nicely too, so I've replaces JEdit with it. Which drives me to think there is some low hanging fruit performance wise in Kate.

Wait a second. According to the article, the only weird thing the driver does is sending some CPU info telemetry and automatically checking for updates. By that standard, nearly every piece of gaming software that releases nowadays is malware. "Ningbo Zhuo Zhi Innovation Network Technology" is also not on the current DOD list of Communist Chinese military companies. The whois record for the given ip doesn't even link to this company, it's a protected record under some Chinese telecorp. Who wrote this garbage? This seems like a cheap attempt to generate outrage.
If anything, it would most likely create substantial buying pressure in BTC or ETH in the short term. The whole reason people hold Tether is because they’re in an ecosystem where they can’t easily access dollars directly.

Say you’re on a crypto only exchange, like BitMEX, or on blockchain. What are your exit options? You can’t buy USD on Uniswap, only stablecoins. In this case “panic-selling” Tether means a massive rush into Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Then you have some formally inexpressible/impredicative notion of "validation" in mind. For posterity (lifting from the depths of the threads):

General case: Validating random data as input into some program.

Particular case: Validating random source code (data) as input into some compiler (program).

Do compilers parse or validate?

> "the converse of ‘parsing is validation’ is not true."

If that were the case then you should be able to give an example of a compiler validating random source code (data) but not parsing it.

What determines the validity of random input is precisely a compiler's ability to parse it.
