The existence of Heroku/Appliku etc (and my personal experience) suggests that setting up web apps isn't hassle free.

Maybe the fix for this would be to have a language/library combination designed from the ground up to make it as easy as possible?

So for example, the language would come as standard with:

- a web server for production use
- a web server for development use
- a built-in SQL database
- a built-in NoSQL database
- a web server library

Then, as all the components for the system would part of the language's standard library/environment, the difficulty of configuring/running a server (such as a web server) on another machine would be limited.
I have replaced more capacitors in appliances than electronics. The fact that appliances runs on higher voltages and stop/starts frequently exacerbate the heat problem.

The 9 years old range hood in my kitchen is already had the start capacitor replaced twice. Whoever designed this unit decided to place the circuitry right in a hot spot, making sure that the capacitor will be gently toasted to death in a couple of years.
Interesting. Is there any reading material available for how this monopoly is maintained? Are the country’s leaders being paid a cut for allowing WU to be the only money transmitter or something like that?
I thought I did but I misread one of the graphs on the Stack Overflow 2021 survey. So no.

I use Debian as my daily driver for .NET core and was looking to see how many other developers had dropped Visual Studio for VSCode, but the graph was not how many had switched, but how many want to. My mistake.

I still think ignoring linux for gui apps will hurt microsoft, we all see the success of VSCode and want to build universal apps like that for our clients too.
The “C” section uses the third-party pcre(3) library; I would think that regex(3), the POSIX regular expression functions, would be more appropriate to represent C as a whole.
John Oliver did a rant on plastics recycling, a few weeks ago[0].

TL;DR: Anything with a "Number in triangle" over 2, is probably not going to be recycled, and you might as well toss it in the trash, as that's where it will end up, anyway[1].

Different from this symbol, and probably won't be affected, but recycling has a great deal of "PR spin" to it.

I think you are drawing a false equivalence between the Proud Boys and jihadi terrorist groups. A better comparison would be between Proud Boys and members of Antifa.
maybe we need to live stream ICU's... hospitals world wide are running beyond capacity since covid.
You'd think this was obvious to do. Sometimes I absolutely loathe the performative nature of most recycling initiatives.
>What's the worst that can happen here?

an "accident" removing permanent manned US space presence, maybe on October 7 for some unknown and purely coincidental reason.
That may also be a big deal for brain tumors.

Today, tumor removal means cutting a big hole in the skull, digging and scraping and trying to remove all of the tumor, then closing it all up and hoping you didn't cause any serious brain damage while you did all this. I mean, we use the term 'brain surgery' to mean something overly complex, detailed, and confusing.

My father had it done in March and we were warned ahead of time that he may go blind, or may have unexpected personality changes. It was all very frightening though he came out just fine, except for a wicked scar.

But imagine if instead, doctors could drill a tiny hole just large enough for a needle, inject some mRNA into the tumor and release the patient the same day.
Here's Entergy's visual: worse than the next 4 hurricanes on the list, combined, including Katrina. (This is part of what I meant when I said msm isn't covering it well up thread.)

https://www.entergy.com/hurricaneida/damage/

And Entergy only covers a portion of the area, but includes all of New Orleans and most of Baton Rouge.

There are a lot more trees than power poles to fall. Lots of trees fell through houses, which allowed additional water and damage, and they won't know anything until insurance and possibly an engineer or contractor look at it.

FEMA just started blue roof on Tuesday I think.

But definitely over 50k damaged, if not destroyed. Just depends on where you draw the line.

But the delay is after the bitcoins are converted to fiat, so even if it takes one day is not influenced by the price of bitcoin.
I do a similar thing myself to exchange currencies. My broker will let me buy a stock in Canadian dollars on the Toronto stock market, and then sell it a few days later in US dollars on the US stock market. And vice versa.

Many Canadian companies trade on both. Shopify is another that you may be more familiar with (though I don’t use that one).

You take some volatility risk over those few days, but on average, you save a lot on fees and make a bit of money over those days. Over enough transactions, even the volatility averages out.
The public overwhelmingly supported criminal charges for officials and Rockwell executives. It appears that the Department of Justice was afraid those charged with environmental crime would testify about unapproved testing in settings where sloppiness with radiation is a crime. I recall that this all happened during an election campaign, and the major candidates didn’t want to appear anti-government, so they preferred not to talk about the coverup.

Both Westword and the Boulder Weekly covered it well:

Whoever is picking up your recycling will have info on what can and cannot be recycled. If you're concerned I'd reach out to them and they should be able to give you a list of recyclable items. For me they only accept plastics with a number in the symbol except numbers 3 and 6, no plastic bags, and items must be thoroughly cleaned.

It's also regional, so friends of mine a few cities away have a totally different list of what they can recycle because its based on the capabilities of the facility it ends up at.
It will have the new market for itself until someone else can get a product with the same technology to market as well. It's hardware, why would there be a first-mover advantage such that they will have the whole market to themselves?

There are dozens of manufacturers building smartphones with camera modules reasonably close to the required form factor. No one yet has figured out the ultra-low-power video recording or ultra-high-power-density battery construction required to put these cameras into a glasses format, but when that does come true I don't see any reason why it will be exclusive to the first one to succeed.

Sure, Facebook does seem to have a stranglehold in some domains due to their network effects and first-mover advantage, but why would that be the case for hardware?
> If the cost were the same and the processing energy the same, wouldn’t it be better for the climate to bury that plastic (sequestering the carbon) instead of recycling it?

Even if it pollutes more to make virgin material than to recycle it -- and I think that's your problem -- if the non-recycled material goes into a landfill instead of the ocean or biosphere, there's a small consolation in that the carbon in the plastic is sequestered.
Exactly. People seem to forget why birthrates were so high in the past. It is not just lack of abortion (which happened), but the fact that more children would provide additional help in the daily farm work. In other words, it was very cheap ho have children and the financial benefit existed. In a post-industrial society, these incentives are reversed. It is very expensive to have children, and there are no financial incentives. That's why we have the declining birth rates everywhere we have an economically developed society.
The standard court appointed lawyer will do this too - but you often have to push them to fight for you.

...and some paid lawyers suck and will roll-over.

Price of your lawyer is a poor predictor of results in the legal system.

The best advice is to know a good lawyer before you need one - rich or poor.
Thoughts on Clojure UI framework
So the argument would be because bitcoin is useful for money transfer or some other activity I need to buy some even though I don't need to do the activity to preserve my purchasing power against others who are finding uses for bitcoin and driving adoptation? I personally have no use for bitcoin but am I essentially forced to buy some as a hedge against other economic actors gaining from holding bitcoin, or am I able to ignore it at no economic loss to myself.
I understand the purpose of a botnet. I was asking for an explanation of the technical details of this apparent advancement. But apparently snide comments purposely devoid of any detail is what I'm getting here now. Cheers
Did you say Palm? I’d KILL for a 5G B&W e-paper screened Palm.
That was to be expected, PCs as phenomen only happened due to IBMs mistake of keeping them vertically integrated as all the remaining 16 bit platforms.

Modern laptops and mobile devices reflect a return to the vertical integratio of those computing devices (Atari, Amiga, Macintosh), with PC towers becoming a niche market and businesses coming back to timesharing.

So yeah, it will happen.
Eliminating Western Union’s vice grip on international remittance seems like a good thing to me.

But to ask the obvious question: why does El Salvador need Bitcoin to do it? It’s not clear to me that the settlement system laid out in TFA necessitates a cryptocurrency scheme, since it all boils down to a locally denominated network of ATMs. Is there some technical reason for this that I’m missing? Without one, it feels like burning tires to accomplish a financial task that any non-failed state (certainly one that can roll out apps and ATMs) should be able to accomplish with ordinary means.
I wouldn't know - I have never done ecstasy. I've done MDMA, which was pure and definitely not ecstasy. And from what I understand, it is a different experience - you don't get the same after effects from ecstasy.

And I'll go as far as to say that once a week is definitely too often: The spouse and I were more concerned about being safe and not getting the stress and burnout we knew could happen, but isn't as likely if you have good space. I think the most we have ever allowed ourselves was once a month and I've never taken it at festivals. Just home.

Heavy use is often always different. And this is one of those very real things that legalisation could help with - actual information to keep people safe.
Moving money from point A to point B quickly is the ideal use case for cryptocurrency.

It’s interesting to see that even their example use case results in the transferred Bitcoin being converted back to dollars right away:

> “Wherever you are now, you can send bitcoin to anyone with a Chivo wallet in El Salvador, and in minutes, they have the value and then they can go to one of the ATMs and take it out in cash without a fee,” said Alex Gladstein, chief strategy officer for the Human Rights Foundation.

I suspect this will be the default behavior for Bitcoin remittances: Buy Bitcoin, send it immediately, then other side sells it as quickly as possible to get back to cash. Bitcoin dropped 20% in the span of minutes on the big launch day in El Salvador. I doubt many people are going to want to hodl their remittances in a highly volatile currency.

It’s also interesting that the costs haven’t actually gone to zero for the Bitcoin model, but they have been obscured and shifted to other parties. This says the receiver can withdraw BTC as cash “without a fee” but what does that mean? Is it like those currency exchange stations at the airport that have “zero fee” but they more than make up for it with unfavorable exchange rates? If not, who is paying to operate and maintain the foreign exchange infrastructure, which isn’t free?

Also, they make use of L2 networks for transfers, but at the end of the day those are still rolled up on to the Bitcoin blockchain, which is unbelievably expensive to run due to the energy requirements that register as a significant fraction of humanities energy usage. That energy must be paid for somehow, which is currently a a mix of block rewards (technically, inflationary money printing) and transaction fees, which are at least amortized across L2 transactions. There may be uses for cryptocurrency yet, but I hope this isn’t the end game because it’s still an inefficient mess. Maybe if we can get away from PoW block chains and also wise up and jettison the arbitrary speculative tokens then maybe we can make some progress.
Because most businesses are low margin, and they’re low margin because of basic supply and demand in a competitive business environment. Some places might get away with charging novelty prices for stupid crap, but the coffee shop that charges $10 for a cappuccino and passes the extra margins to their employees is going to receive fewer customers than the place that charges $3 and produces a roughly equivalent cappuccino. Maybe it’s not as good, but is the other one really $7 better?

You can demand higher employee compensation all you like, but customers will be the ones paying for it, as they pay for all costs that the business incurs (if the owners want to stay in business anyway).
The problem is not both ends always have bank accounts. This is the specific area where remittance payments and bitcoin can fill the void.
Yeah, that sounded like a bit of a cavalier attitude towards the problem for me too... and I couldn't help but wonder if it would have been investigated more thoroughly if it had happened in the non-Russian part.
Transfer wise does a pretty good job of this. If your country is supported anyway. Basically they just have a bunch of accounts around the world.

I disagree, it's all a perception issue.
The authoritarian part of population (including the government, obviously, and mainstream media) conflate people who don't want to take vaccines for various reasons with people who believe conspiracy theories about vaccines. I talked at length with these people and it's almost comical how wrong and ignorant they are. They are also very few an apart, some were homeless, other were xanax and wine soccer moms.

The rest of people who don't want to take the vaccine recognise the goods the vaccine can do but:
- They don't care about avoiding mild covid effects if they think they're healthy enough
- They don't know which long term effects mRNA vaccines will have, if any (10+ years)
- They oppose compulsory or practically compulsory (if I can't travel or visit a bar, it's practically compulsory) vaccines for a disease with a sub 1% mortality rate, which keeps having different variants which drop vaccine efficacy, which still requires you to wear a mask not to transmit it.

As it is right now, the only reason to take the vaccine is not to feel covid symptoms / reduce the damage to your organs by covid, which is a decent reason.

I got covid towards the beginning of the "two weeks lockdown to flatten the curve turned in 1.5 years", I felt flu-like bad but barely had any issues. Yet last summer I was forced to vaccinate because proof of recovery older than 6 months is worthless to travel and to spend hundreds in useless covid tests. I also had zero symptoms after both vaccinations, probably because my body already knew how to fight it.

Sure, the government really makes it harder and harder to believe in anything they say, but the number of conspiracy nuts remained constant. It's just that society started calling people who care about individual freedom, conspiracy nuts (on top of nazi and white supremacists).
I agree with you generally, but people aren't exactly taking the non-mRNA alternative instead. (Some are, bit not at scale).
Eh, in my experience HR likes to sugar coat things. The number of times I've been told BS from managers and HR is uncountable. Stuff like "we're only taking external hires with extensive experience to start the team and we encourage you to apply again in a couple months", or that I have a lot of potential but they don't give me any action items about how achieve my potential, etc. Dangling the carrot only works if you never let them eat it.
Much like WebMD devolved into every symptom being cancer and the side effect of any medication being everything, (including death), such a virtual lawyer would devolve into "everything is complicated; hire a lawyer." In essence, it would just be an app that said IANAL.
Some background: a little while ago I built a library called "Checkboxland" at the Recurse Center for rendering stuff into a checkbox grid. I recently made an update that lets it render arbitrary images and video. The video feature supports HTML MediaStream, which is what powers the webcam demo.
Letting the price mechanism work (externalities accounted for) is a great way to do this.
Yeah, exactly. The recycling trucks here in LDN have a campaign on the side of them that has words to the effect of "if you're unsure - leave it out!" because as you say, even partial contamination screws entire bales of reclaimed material.

My eternal bugbear is Pizza boxes. Used greasy pizza boxes can often be recycled in many municipalities, BUT only in the organic or food waste. Greasy card in the paper recycling stream screws everything up.

.

I used to live in a fairly large warehouse community and 'made myself responsible for the recycling', so I have greyer hair than I should and a slighly less shallow awareness than many people of the problems in all this... :\

> Michał Sidor suggests building against libbfd, something that the Debian maintainers don’t want to do.

"don't want to" isn't quite correct - they can't.

Perf is licensed under the GPLv2, libbfd under the GPLv3. The licenses are incompatible, which makes the combination unredistributable - which is what Debian would be doing with it.

Debian is legally not allowed to do this.
I read that quote in exactly the opposite way, with "this" being the computer system and that the agent was trying to find a way to LET the person into the country.
I absolutely agree that the first few weeks don’t count for much, and am very curious to see how this all pans out in the long term.

What I can contribute to #1 is that, apparently (per my psychiatrist), people who experiment with drugs sometimes discover that drugs like cocaine and amphetamine behave quite differently for them than with non-ADHD people; instead of getting ramped up, they find it calms them down. Of course, with a sufficiently high dose they’ll get ramped up too, but there’s a pronounced, confusing (to the user) dip in the dose response that the people around them don’t seem to experience. I’ve never tried either, so I can’t comment on that first hand.
It's not that setting up a server is hard. The reason Heroku exists is because they are your devops team -as-a-service.
People generally do not go from $0 to $50,000 playing roulette either.
I have to admit that I was expecting this to be about some subtle and often overlooked logic error in writing comparison functions (say assuming that a ≮ b ⇒ a > b). But this is about what essentially amounts to typographic errors in the code.

People gloss over what goes into money transfer. There is substantial risk, verification of identity of recipient, etc. With Bitcoin the services are simply not offered, so it's not really comparable. You get irreversible money transfer to an bitcoin address nothing more and nothing less. Western Union's services go well beyond that.

Why October 7? A quick google search shows it's Revolution day in Russia, but I'm afraid I don't understand the relation.
Depends on the use case but yes I'd agree, 50 might be a tad too long. I work in IoT and industrial computing and the specifications can be for 25+ years however, so it's not unheard of.
Unless there’s a bathroom attendant you’re just ignored. Tips wouldn’t be necessary.
At that point why don't they just send Tether or USDT (or another stable coin), why even risk playing with such volatility, can't these stable coins be transferred with few fees as well?
> I personally have no use for bitcoin but am I essentially forced to buy some as a hedge against other economic actors gaining from holding bitcoin, or am I able to ignore it at no economic loss to myself.

WSL lets people run their Linux apps with Linux GUIs on Windows. It makes Linux apps cross-platform, which makes sense if your business proposition is "literally all software runs on windows, and some software also runs on non-Windows. Choose wisely"

And, IIRC, .NET Core doesn't support WPF forms for legal/trademark reasons. But other MSFT supported .NET Forms libraries that happen to be API/feature compatible work on Windows/OSX/Linux/Android/iOS.
I'm not sure that's the same problem. I think Parent means that beef from elsewhere arrives in Ireland, is processed there and becomes 'Irish beef', which is clearly a bit of a stretch of the truth.

It's the same in Europe with many types of olive oil - much of it is grown and extracted in Iberia, but then sent to Italy, etc, for processing, becoming 'Italian' olive oil..

Doesn't bother me though - my favourite olive oil comes from Spain...

You are right to be a skeptic of cryptocurrencies. All of them are garbage. Focus just on bitcoin, because it aims to solve the exact problem you have identified in the most secure, decentralized way possible. Any cryptocurrency that tries to bolt more onto its base layer will always sacrifice some level of decentralization which is where a lot of problems get introduced.

cryptocurrency and bitcoin are not categorically the same.
