> Please note "I don't know" isn't a valid answer to any of these questions

Wait, what? I don't know most of these answers. Neither do you.

"Who wrote X-Agent?" "It was definitely Russians" is not a valid answer, either.

An indictment is not evidence. It's an accusation. Show the evidence, let it be examined, cross-examined, etc.

No, spooks' testimony is not credible by itself, not after they repeatedly lied under oath, to both congress and the public.

> "Do you believe the data stolen in the DNC hack and later leaked was geopolitically useful to the Russian government? "

"geopolitically" not to nitpick, but you probably mean plain "politically"

Not necessarily. Clinton was already cosy with the Russians as State Secretary. Trump was an unknown quantity. Asserting anything else is a retcon.

> "The Russian government undertook cyber-espionage against the US"

You're literally putting quotes around something I did not write. The accusation was far stronger than that. The accusation was that the Russians, WikiLeaks and the Trump campaign colluded to get Trump elected in exchange for preferential treatment. The DNC hack was a small part of it. But no, there's no evidence of that small part, either.

Ok, I think it's clear that there's no more fruitful exchange to happen on this topic. I tried to demonstrate that the evidence must be extraordinary and that it does not rise to that level. You disagree. You tried to demonstrate to me that the evidence is extraordinary. I disagree.

Know that I'll read your reply, and absorb it, and think on it, but likely won't answer. Let us amicably agree to disagree on this.
> Bad spoofing detection harms legitimate users and is inefficient against capable actors.

On a somewhat related note: I used to write sneaker buying bots and captcha was one of the best things to happen to the bot industry.

Captcha was easily "bypassed" by services that had humans sitting at computers generating tokens. Recaptcha tokens are valid for two minutes by default, so you'd be able to generate tokens up to two minutes in advance and have dozens of tokens available when the product in question became available for purchase. Real buyers had to wait for drop and then spend 15s+ filling out the captcha. Bots would take most of the stock in less than a second. I always felt like this was a fantastic example of a bot prevention mechanism that actually actively harmed "legitimate" users.

It seems to be illegal in the EU+UK because it contains E222:

I asked what it has to offer which is different than asking "does it do exactly what emacs can do". I am never going to find a more powerful editor than emacs, at least not for a while, but that doesn't mean other editors don't have anything to offer. I still prefer intellij idea when doing Java. VS Code is a lot quicker at certain things than emacs and certain IDE features don't stop working after running it for a while (happens with my emacs setup), among other things. I also use vim for editing things when I'm already in the terminal because of its advantages in that realm.
The big difference here is that nobody should expect this app to continue working without updates.

Contrast this with something like sublime text: years from now you can still expect it to work normally.

What I expect is that if your app will not continue working for a long time then you should not make "lifetime license" one of your selling points unless you are prepared to offer lifetime upgrades too.
Because some developers will take offense. They will think that if you call the language they use trash then you are calling them a trash developer.

It's odd, there are developers who make the language they work part of their identity and see attacks on that language as attacks on their identity.

I don't get it, but it is what it is. If you call javascript trash, you will offend people.
I had that experience with Swift for maybe the first 2 days I used it. Nowadays I really appreciate Swift’s strictness. It just helps prevent so many stupid mistakes.

I worked on a high-profile project for my company under a strict deadline and Swift was a major part in ensuring we delivered a rock-solid implementation in record time.

As a react developer I find the OOP prevalence hard to tolerate when I try to learn unity. I'm really hoping that the Dots architecture can make things more enjoyable. I've tried it a bit but there's a lot to learn and from what I understand the APIs are not to be considered stable yet (?).

Meanwhile I've discovered react-three-fiber which feels like the way I want to build 3d stuff.
I stopped at the first example (true + false).

If you write code like this, you have bigger problems than using JavaScript. For most of the examples, it's like saying "Here's what happens when you plug a fan to a faucet". There's no point really.

JavaScript is weird just like any other language can be weird when you use it in weird ways. And yes, it's certainly one of the weirdest.

If you want to talk about things weird in JavaScript, let's talk about ES modules in Node.js and the Browser, or the number of decisions you have to make to bootstrap a simple web app in JavaScript, and how a language written in 10 days is shipped to billion of devices today.

But, this kind of content, (while well made technically) is always the same one about JavaScript.
Snappyness is definitely something emacs lacks. Usually it doesn't bother me, but sometimes I know what I want to do and it gets in the way. I'm definitely. Interested in onivim2, I'll probably compile at some point and check it out.
My first computer. Inspired me to becomes a computer scientist when I was 10, in the early 1970s. I still have mine but the accumulator is burned out after too many write/erase cycles and I may have lost the "bug" (memory pointer). It's probably the only computer I have from last century that still works.
> 2) Elements of Information Theory by Joy Thomas and Thomas Cover is a thorough and engaging textbook.

The same for “== considered harmful”. I scanned the entire comparison table and the only unobvious or error-prone cases are those you never really do in programming.

The spam filter might be picking up the comment. Then it will require approval from the creator of the video. This filter is incredibly aggressive, because of just how much garbage is spammed.

As an example, YouTube hid this comment and tagged it as "likely spam":

>I saw a Jean Bart video and I thought I might be in it as I went up against you yesterday, glad I was not in the other team in this one lol

However, there also exists some kind of other system that sometimes removes comments. I'm not sure how that one works. Even as the creator of the video I've had my comments disappear, but that might've also just been a bug.
Who wants to rely on an API which will disappear in 3 months?

This is fine for a student project or an app which has a fixed planned end-of-life, but not much more.

If I learn that API and it disappears, I just wasted my time. I should have learned an API that I will be able to reuse later.

I'm more of an allyl isothiocyanate person and I agree - hotness in and of itself isn't particularly attractive. I heard some people actually feel a more cold sensation from capsaicin which may explain why they're so fond of sauces which are essentially pepper spray.

> That works because an unsigned 8-bit integer is one piece of data.

No, the same holds true for any struct as well. If you declare x to be {a: uint8, b: uint8} you cannot magically turn it into {x: string, y: string, z: string}.

The real problem is that in most languages the expressiveness of this system is severely limited. You cannot do it in Javascript at all, but Typescript gets you very far.
I'm Romanian, so hardly in the anglosphere, but extending the thumb is not natural for me. I would always start with the index finger for 1, then continue with the long finger, ring finger, and pinky for 2, 3, 4, and extend the thumb only for 5. Sticking out just the thumb for 1 would look like an OK kind of sign to me, not at all as 1.

I guess this is all just culturally acquired, no deep reasons necessarily. Still, as someone else was pointing out, sticking out all fingers except the pinky for the "German" 4 seems hard to do.
I could also make a php is weird page

It may seem odd, but it got clear to me once I understood the basic idea.

In a language like Java you have objects and classes at the bottom of the language. How would you add maps to the language? Well, you create a Map class, implement put, get, has methods, etc.

Now imagine a language where you have functions and maps as your basic primitives, but you don't have classes and objects. How do you add objects and classes to the language? You can do something like this: objects are maps, information about their basic class is saved in 'prototype' property, constructor is a function that returns an object, etc. That's how JavaScript works. You can read about this in more details here https://exploringjs.com/impatient-js/ch_proto-chains-classes... , if you keep the basic idea in mind the details are easy to follow.
Yes, absolutely correct about possible QEMU simplifications. One option would be to use gem5 which can simulate caches/memory more accurately (sometimes), but it is also way slower as a result, some indications at: https://github.com/cirosantilli/linux-kernel-module-cheat/tr...

That's OK, but can you then extend the ring finger but not the pinky to make a 4? For me it's almost impossible.

In my humble and admittedly little experience, its not what you intentionally write, but what gets unintentionally written and needs to be debugged later.

Carmack-like people utilising this stuff for good are few and far between, for your everyday joe programmer this is a footgun, a very-nonobvious and non-intuitive one (hence footgun moniker) that they write in crunch, it slips past reviews because reviewers are just joes with couple extra years, if at all, and then whrn things break after deployment, its an absolute pain to debug.
The Ultimate Guide to Serverless Monitoring
No, I'm not assuming that, I'm taking the arguments above about avoiding statist control of transactions at face value.

1. A centralised blockchain is a database with bad performance.

2. But that's my point - blockchain doesn't sidestep government and regulation as you and many proponents assume. In the short term maybe, while government catches up. In the long term, all your transactions are in public and can be inspected retrospectively, so good luck avoiding taxes or regulations with it if people actually started using it as a currency. It cannot reduce government because it does not replace government, it's aiming at the wrong target and just hand waving away problems of power which are central to control of money.

I, too, wish to chime in here. I've seen people that are absolute wrecks unless they're on theanine, either alone or as an adjunct therapy.

You nailed it with that split.

Focus vs Coordination aims to be a bit less verbose, but what I really mean is "doing stuff well" vs "aligning on the stuff we should do".

It's also important to emphasize that doing stuff well is much harder than doing stuff, and thus less compatible with talking and alignment. And same for the other side. We can talk all we want, but actually aligning requires intention and attention. And that coordination-attention draws energy from our execution-attention.

Governments finally decided to crack down on Bitcoin. Governments are slow so people had time to get super happy initially and now are waking up to reality.
Holding stock in a company (for instance via en index fund) is not a fiat holding. The fact that it is commonly priced in terms of fiat currency is not any different that the fact that BTC is too.

Neither of them have to be. All exchanges take place in pairs; one holding is exchanged for another. Buying BTC with dollars is (USD, BTC); buying Microsoft is (MSFT, USD); buying EUR with dollars is (EUR, USD).

Nothing prevents you from pricing Microsoft stock in BTC or BTC in EUR or Etherium.

The holding as such, however, is only a fiat holding when it is in fact either a (wad of) cash equivalents and/ or a bank balance.

There isn't a person on earth for which there is only two types of relevant holdings, in either USD or BTC. A person that (seriously) considers acquiring a crypto holding, such as BTC, is most likely choosing between other crypto currencies, gold or silver, primarily. Even more likely, they're merely FOMO-speculating as a complement to plain stock holdings.

The fact that a number of you don't seem to understand this should call your competency into question.
