> Could you expand on that? It sounds like an interesting position (bordering on the philosophical)

I'll make the philosophical case: text-level templating of a computer-readable format is almost always the wrong approach. It becomes unnecessarily hard for someone who later needs to read the code to ensure that it generates valid (both syntax and semantics) markup. It's also more hard for tooling to verify the validity, because the syntactic validity may depend on inputs to the program.

Compare the approaches of PHP and JSX. They both accomplish a similar goal (interleaved HTML and control flow), but JSX works at the element tree level and makes it impossible to generate poorly-formed HTML syntax -- it becomes a compile-time error (though it doesn't ensure semantics, e.g. a tbody outside of a table is legal). Compare with PHP, which very much allows you to generate invalid HTML, because it's just a text templating language.

(From what I can tell, Helm works more like PHP; if I'm wrong my philosophical position stands but might not apply here)
Basically no one would get the glorious single-threaded performance then, since the first time you pip install anything, you're going to discover that it spins up a thread under the hood that you're never exposed to.

Or worse, you end up with the async schism all over again, with new "threadless" versions of popular libraries springing up.
Pretty much.

And worse, the host of the image could theoretically change it on you and you'd have no way to prove (at least in a trustless way) what the original image was.
SharedArrayBuffer is just raw memory similar to using mmap from Python multiprocessing. The developer experience is very different to simply sharing objects across threads.
So as a user I could either purchase one of these NFTs and give you money - or just generate my own NFT and use it to get your stuff for free?
This is the simplest and correct answer. Intentionally or otherwise, finding yourself operating as an unlicensed securities dealer, deposit holder, brokerage or money transmitter is going to give you a very bad time with any number of federal authorities that (heavily) regulate all of those things.
Have you considered that this is maybe the universe's way of telling you that monetizing a zero-margin healthcare treatment is a bad idea?
Were any of the NFT games on Steam before this point doing this?
The headphone jack is a strange hill to die on when you get the chance to replace pretty much every important part. A well made dongle does not make a massive difference when you use headphones with a proper cable (I.e. not the flimsy thin headphone cables that rip or break within a few months of regular use).

He's experiencing a known HW issue, most likely. There's a manual workaround for now: https://xnux.eu/log/#045

I'll implement a SW workaround eventually, but I'm still recuperating a bit from the work on the Pinephopne keyboard. Once it's released, donations will hopefully increase a bit again, and I'll be able to do more development other than a kernel maintenance.

Now there's also Pinephone Pro and Quartz64 based router sitting on my table which I'm mostly playing with these days, so I'm a bit torn on where to focus my energy next. :)
A smart game producer that sees a NFT-based game go down could say "hey, you know all those items you had on <game X>? Come over to my game and you'll get <benefit> based on that stuff!" Since ownership of the token is publicly visible and not locked into Game X's database.

Why is this better than just "Come over to my game and get all the benefits that everyone gets, even if you didn't play <Game X>!"
Like many I am willing to buy NFTs and enjoy their many benefits.

Steam will likely try to capitalize on it when it becomes an even bigger market by either introducing their own marketplace or token or something else.
> - With the exception of e/OS, all of the handset manufacturers examined collect a list of all the apps installed on a handset.

/e/OS is no exception. I looked at the requests made by its "Apps" app. Every time it checks for updates, it tells the server what applications you have installed. These requests are made with a User-Agent header revealing your device model, build ID and Android version. Installed languages are also sent via the Accept-Language header. And there is no option to disable update checks; the closest you can get is to set the interval to monthly.

Contrast that with F-Droid, which downloads the package index in advance (like apt does), so it doesn't need to send the server a list of installed apps in order to check for updates.
A very boring database also supports this.
Apple did it because they were the underdog 15-20 years ago. Microsoft doesn't give a shit. There's no realistic market opportunity for a small third party to get a sizeable amount of revenue either, with Adobe looming.

I kinda miss the early 90s when we actually had competing software "houses" with some financial muscle.
So you want your game to appeal to users who buy and thoroughly play lots of games (and likely would snap up yours anyways if it was in the same genre) while also discouraging users who are new to the market?
* “I live in the future”, I wish more people would take that tack.*

So... you're saying we shouldn't be naming a satellite after a guy who's been dead for 20 years?

Because that's where the history part comes in. We could have given it a forward-looking name like we used for the Mars probes. Instead, we named it after a dead guy... which means talking about the dead guy.
I think it's more like 80% of time at the start of any project, and then trickles down to no time, then up to 80% again when there's a new feature/config/incompatibility with tooling.
In larger projects and in orgs, you often have legacy choices that you have to deal with, that you can't remove or spend time replacing.

Once again I don't really understand the comparison between a PHONE and a gucci bag/expensive watch.

Unlike the iPhone, the products you mention cost orders of magnitude more than their competition, I can buy a $30 bag from Ross and a $2000 bag from Gucci and get basically no extra functionality, they are both bags. Despite what people say, iPhones are priced relatively competitively with their competition and don't really have the same "Luxury Appeal" that a Rolex watch may have in comparison to a Casio one.

Home Depot's newer all-in-one computers at the self-checkout include an embedded camera.

Makes me glad I never - ever - use self-checkout.

I'm not interested in helping replace human jobs with robots just so a bean counter in a boardroom somewhere can buy a second boat.

Occasionally, the self-checkout "team member" will come over to me while I'm standing in line and offer to help me use the self-checkout. I tell her, "I'd rather not help {$company} replace your job with a robot."

I expect a lot of times they think I'm a kook. But every once in a while they pause and I can see the realization washing over their faces. Then I feel like I've accomplished a small thing that day.

Wow tough crowd here. Nothing wrong with the landing page. It is there to wet your appetite and does that nicely.

The About section (yes, scroll down a little) describes the problem it is trying to solve, and while it could be more clear the problem definition is clear enough.

I always found it unbelievable that in front end development the build environment is more complicated than the application it is used to write. The hours wasted to resolve some obscure problem that has nothing to do with the application I'm trying to write... Why do people put up with that?

This project thinks out of the box to try to solve this problem. Many Kudo's to you for trying. I hope it will be a smashing success.

Please ignore the unconstructive whining here. To those: If you see room for improvement then help out or at least be constructive about it.

More generally, has anyone built an application which accepts, in some nontrivial sense, NFTs generated using another application?
That's an interesting theory, but absent some kind of evidence it still seems like post hoc rationalization to me.

> and it isn't just a big calculator

I'm not sure you've thought this argument through.

Are you suggesting that women are naturally better-suited to mathematics and theoretical engineering then men are? You think that the male shift in CS was because the field became less theoretical, and men realized that the field wasn't only offering analytic/abstract challenges?

I'd love if in these types of debates we could all standardize on what the inherent biological differences are that we're talking about, but it always seems to me like proponents have a hard time doing that. The theories fluidly evolve, flip around, and transform to meet every example and statistic, their only constant being the belief that cultural solutions to how fields are presented, taught, and managed should be off the table. Hence the pseudoscience concerns I have above.

----

The point I brought up in my original comment was that all of these arguments:

- that women don't like analytic/abstract thinking

- that women don't like practical/applied thinking jobs

- that women prefer fuzzy-creative tasks instead of hard-creative tasks

- that women care about people more than concepts

- that women prefer social jobs and men prefer isolated work

- that women naturally avoid careers with high amounts of conflict like upper management positions

they're all brought up by their proponents as if they're obvious conclusions, despite the fact that they're often mutually exclusive claims, and despite the fact that even when they do contradict each other they still all use the exact same evidence and justifications as "proof" for their obvious-ness. Most of these theories aren't the result of real scientific research, they're rationalizations for current outcomes that start from a position that the outcomes necessarily must have a biological explanation.

It's hard for me to have a lot of respect for that. And these people want to claim that the people who are actually testing social theories about gender gaps are the unscientific ones. Their definition of the "scientific" way to approach gender is to just assume everything is biological and to never question the status quo.
Man what a bunch of nonsense. This guy running as a Republican has no credibility whatsoever. They totally botched the China response during Trump and now he wants to double down. I wonder if he is funded by Peter Theil or some other rich robber-baron wannabe.

Seriously as soon as they blurt out certain key words (ie. socialism is scary, tells story about 9/11 yet was not involved in any way) you can get a good picture of what disasters he will create. We don't need a leader that "you can have a beer with". We tried that with Bush.

If we decide as a society that certain races are evil/bad/harmful and should have fewer rights, would that make it okay?

Just because a lot of people agree on something doesn't make it right or good. I'm not sure where you get the idea that society is just a platform for banning unpopular things. A lot of modern civics was designed specifically to counter that actually, things like constitutional laws, representative democracy, high courts, political parties; they all serve to counterbalance and moderate the pure majority opinion on how to run society.

You know, I also enjoy living in a society and not having to worry if any media I want to use or any business I ran might be banned because someone somewhere didn't like it.

The math you learn in K-12 is necessary but not sufficient.

My secondary point still stands. Just as there are kids out there who grew up programming in their bedrooms who come into first year CS and crush it, there are kids out there studying extra math and writing math contests etc who will come into first year with a big advantage.
You don't need to time it! And this wouldn't be the core business model, just an easy win if/when that happened.
> boys have a father for role model and many other places in their community they can get one too: church, boy scouts, friends fathers, others

Wow, so this is exactly what people are talking about when they say check your privilege. Do you expect children to seek out a father figure in their community and have the presences of mind to consider their options and pick a good one? I grew up in a pretty privileged community and know multiple guys who had no significant father figure, or (probably worse)a very unhealthy one. As Ive gotten older I’ve come to appreciate how unless your parents are both complete rockstar geniuses, it really helps to have a variety of both father and mother figures in your life to give you better context for how to mature and succeed in life.

> but we did not have this problem.

Yeah, I guess when the patriarchal aristocracy was virtually the only group getting advanced degrees we didn't have this problem. lol. Nevermind that society was extremely geared toward getting and staying married and was very judgemental about women who chose not to have kids and out of wedlock children in times gone by. There’s a reason we celebrate people like Marie Curie and Grace Hopper, they stood against social expectations and showed the male-dominated world what women were capable of.

Whatever your stance on all the negatives in the real world, everybody agrees its elegant in theory. It combined problems to create a solution. That's what real innovation looks like.

NFT's as 'investments' are a scam. Claiming Git commit hashes as property is not valuable, innovative, or game-changing. From the bottom to the top of the pyramid its people who are salty they didn't make more money in 'crypto' and are afraid of missing out twice in their lives.

>To be fair the level of competition in physical stores is way beyond what we have online.

That is an absolutely ludicrously absurd statement. Physical stores are physical, by definition they have vastly more scarcity. There is only so much physical land in high density areas, and physical stores that are even tens of minutes away, let alone hours, are in an enormously different competitive situation to ones nearby. Whereas online I have vast numbers of stores that are all perfectly equal "distance" away. They are freed from many if not all of the tradeoffs in storage space vs convenient (and very expensive) locations. Online stores are cheaper both to start and operate. Someone can reach a global audience from literally their garage.

In comparison, a huge percentage of the country has maybe single digit stores within 30 minutes of driving. There is no competition at all... except from online.

It is a lot like programming. Start off defining the algorithm to handle the general case and refine it until it works with no issues. Then add in edge cases so that you tune it to handle more real-world situations. That is the way to build a solid, fail-safe code base. If you truly understand the problem you can eventually code enough to handle any real-world scenario. Don't be surprised if the code looks hairy and nothing like the original though.

In their case, they started with a generalized "2D" simple case and concluded after study that a real-world scenario would look very similar or would be a neat permutation of their original grid-optimized discovery. They found instead that they had discovered that the rat brains optimized their navigation to the difficulty of the task and that once you add enough difficulty, the brains spread the computational resources in a different optimization in order to handle the newfound complexity. Patterns were still detectable but they did not follow the original hexagonal grid optimization discovered in the initial tests.

This is, as you say, a process of learning one small piece of a bigger puzzle. In this case, they found that the complexity of the puzzle is higher than the initial guess they made after collating and analyzing all the data from the simple experiments. Useful things were learned but I was attempting to note that they have apparently made assumptions based on a very simple case that turned out not to be entirely accurate and that they appear to be surprised by that instead of accepting that the simplicity of the tasks used to generate the data may have biased the results. No doubt they will continue to add complexity and learn new things, and win more awards for their pioneering work.
