“Crypto evangelists” are right. The problem isn’t with the blockchain layer (eg the Operating System). It retains the promises you espouse.

The problem is with an NFT (an application) minted with bad assumptions. If a buyer fails to understand what the NFT is, that’s not a shortcoming of blockchain enthusiasts.

I’m not an NFT investor (I don’t think an NFT of a JPG/MP3/MP4 has any intrinsic value), but your complaint applies to any investor in any asset. Caveat emptor. A buyer needs to learn what they are buying before they can put an accurate value on their offer, so they are responsible for their purchase.

I've always done something similar, but less structured and probably with less intent.

Most of the problems we software developers encounter, we've solved before. So it's usually a case of recognizing the pattern of problems this is, and matching it to one you've solved before, and quickly being able to reference that previous solution. That's 95% of getting it done.

This is getting beyond ridiculous, Walter, and you're making things up again. At no point did I or anyone else on the planet ever suggest that heating a rock by 1 degree will release less than 1 degree of heat.

As I've explained multiple times now, it's a matter of where the heat originally came from, and it requires 3-5x MORE ENERGY to impart the THE SAME AMOUNT OF HEAT to a rock as it does water. That's the entire point, and is the portion of thermodynamics that you keep pretending doesn't exist. I'm not sure how many more times or ways I can explain this to you, because you clearly don't want to accept that the original heat input doesn't magically manifest itself.

I've provided you with evidence for all of this, but you're still making the same baseless argument. Your ignorance of the subject is exhausting to engage with, so if that was your intent, I guess you win today's Troll Award. But you're still completely wrong about the science, you're unwilling to provide any evidence to back up your claims (because the evidence doesn't exist), you have no basis for your argument at all, and you should be ashamed of yourself for insisting otherwise in such an aggressively arrogant manner.
> 250W won't be enough. IMO 750W is the bare minimum

Those numbers seem huge. I can only put out about 150W sustained, so a 250W motor boost on top of that sounds like a lot. That would have me at 400W combined which is nearly pro-rider territory.
"Complicated and flawed" sure is a different thing than "serial wifebeater." We're supposed to let that get overshadowed by the fact that he happened to start a web forum where funny people posted? I don't think that there's anything subconscious about the desire to frankly evaluate someone's life. Even before his passing, for decades he was known as someone who would reliably make bad decisions at every opportunity. The web forum he started eventually banned him.

As others have said, SA was successful despite him, not because of him.
> Or do you truly believe that video was somehow literally the worst video on Youtube?

BMW is pulling the touchscreens off of certain models:

https://www.autoblog.com/2021/11/05/bmws-losing-touchscreen-...

Slightly confusing since it's not the removal of the entire infotainment system, just the capacitive controller. The system is still controllable with the joydial. Seems like that's not really a $500 cost center, more of a way to appease the customer.

And some makers like Mazda pulled the captouch off their IVI with the recent generation of cars pre-COVID, it just wasn't worth the cost.

Again, this fundamentally misunderstands the purpose of the source code repo and how it relates to the build artifacts deployed in production. If you are waiting for something to happen in production before landing some change, that tells me right there you have committed some kind of serious error.
Well this certainly hit a nerve with me:

Privatisation destroyed rail as a cost effective means of rail travel in the UK. In fact it all fell apart during the pandemic when the government had to take control of a number of franchised routes and temporarily re-nationalize them.

Rail should not be a for-profit business, it is a public service and a natural monopoly. 100% of the money the public pay to make a journey should go back into maintaining the network and running the trains.

I'm happy for a few execs to get their 100k+ salaries and for it to be justified by all the "hard work" and "value" they bring. But taking money from ticket sales, calling it profit and handing it to shareholders has to stop, it means the public get a dysfunctional rail service because there is no investment. Or it works, but the ticket prices are stratospheric.

The Transport for London corporation is a good example of how it should be done.

> It is relevant when we are talking about building more housing. Why build something if people won't use it?

If the shelters are full, it's clear people are using them. If we start seeing vacancies in shelters, then we can worry about this.
I don't buy it. In Toronto, there are new condo buildings going up seemingly on every block, but there are still 10,000 homeless[1].

The inconvenient truth is that building low-income housing is not very profitable and no entity driven by the profit motive wants to do it. The margins on luxury condos are much better.

True, and then every variant in every package version.
But it does cause problems in the current climate as each of those variants do have to make it through the production pipeline (after die fab) which is also constrained at the moment. And of course ST is prioritising "high value customers" (like car manufacturers).
to be fair they didn't say it has completed the progression through that program.
This is an interesting point. Julia might well benefit from

Base.not_understood(f, x::Apple_Count, y::Apple_Count) =
f(int(x), int(y)) |> AppleCount

with semantics borrowed from Smalltalk. I'm a bit rusty with Julia, please forgive any syntax errors.

I wonder how hard it would be to hack the compiler, catch method not found exceptions, and do that? It wouldn't be fast, but it would work as a proof of concept.

Edit: the semantics I have in mind go like this. If you call f(x, y), where x and y are Apple_Count, but there is no method defined for f(::Apple_Count, ::Apple_Count), then the compiler tries not_understood(f, x, y).
COBOL. SQL. HyperCard. Visual Basic. Spreadsheets. Yeah, same song, next verse.

In some ways it's like AI, though. Once it succeeds (at what it can do), then it no longer is "no code", it's just it's own niche. (We don't think of SQL or spreadsheets as "no code" any more; we think of them as their own categories.)

I mean, spreadsheets are not nothing. They're useful for a segment of things. They didn't replace web programming or embedded real-time or machine learning, though.

You can do "drag and drop form elements and type up the event handlers" with Visual Studio and C#. The problem is that Microsoft have rather lost their way on GUI frameworks - too many of them and the latest ones are either "to be obsolete" or "not finished yet" (winui3), and winui3 has broken the interactive designer.

It uses Fastspring, a platform for selling digital products and services. I wasn’t looking forward to dealing with sales tax, VAT or coding some kind of digital fulfilment workflow so I went with them.

I deliberately did not go the route of the walled garden stores (iBooks Kindle etc.) since I liked the idea of providing DRM free files.

Thanks for your feedback though. What would you suggest as a way for indie authors to sell eBooks?
All of the shelters where I live are full. The article describes increasing chronic unsheltered populations in west coast cities. Do any of these have empty shelter beds? SF and LA do not.

"Underutilized land near transit? What do you do about the NIMBYs?"

Tell them to take a hike. The state needs to get more involved with objective rules so we don't have a game of each neighborhood screaming NIMBY.

> Of course, but do you want to live in a shelter with people doing drugs? Should there some that are drug friendly and some that aren't?

I don't know the answer to this. When we have enough shelters and people have a locked door to sleep behind this will probably be the next problem to solve.

> Actually providing public housing isn't simple though.

Shelters and public housing are different. Any kind of shelter has to be fully maintained with public funds because the people sleeping in them are broke.

There's a countries with large amounts of successful public housing. The theme is that it's well maintained so it's actually desirable for stable, normal people. Allowing a wider range of incomes to move in so that rent can cover operations and maintenance makes it less dependent on the whims of local pols.
I feel like this can look gorgeous and thought provoking if people manage to keep the greenery looking as-intended.

I always find the US system shocking, even just up north in Canada. UBC has comparable numbers of faculty + administrative staff, and services ~4x the undergrad population. UofT has ~50% more faculty and staff, and handles close seventy thousand undergrads!
I don't often agree with articles from The Guardian, but this take is spot on, and it's rare that you see this opinion since 99% of news is literally owned by megacorps.

Having these massive corporations control entire sectors of the economy is turning out horribly. It's suffering from the same issues as centrally planned economies. I mean look at megacorp products nowadays - they are all so bland, so soulless, always getting more expensive, always shoveling blatant far-left crap into your face. I'm talking about Marvel movies, Star Wars, Netflix originals, Youtube removing the dislike button, Coca Cola going woke, etc. If the free market was working, then I would absolutely move to alternative products, but instead we are just stuck accepting the decrees of what have basically become authoritarian mini-governments.

I don't know if antitrust is the answer to this. It's messed up to say so, but I think a major recession and/or depression might be required to wash away all the ideological rot and laziness that has seeped into US big business in the past 13 years.
I went ahead and changed the title of the article itself, too. Thanks for the feedback.
> PHEV drivers don't plug-in

Yep. One major factor is that a lot of companies, including ones that claim to care about the environment, will reimburse employees on business travel for gasoline but not electricity for their vehicles.

I'll go ahead and answer "performance". People are switching to these faster tools because speeding up the edit-compile-run cycle speeds up their work.

Yes, it's theoretically possible to write fast tools in JS, but somehow after all these years and millions/billions of dollars invested in the V8 JIT, they are all still slow enough that people will switch to newer tools, with fewer features, purely for the performance win. And these new tools end up faster with little developer time spent on profiling/optimization, because performant code is in the pit of success.

I also wouldn't think of Rust as a low-level language. It has plenty of high-level features like macros, typeclasses, iterators that are nicer than in JS, etc. Speaking as a developer, these make Rust much nicer/faster to use than other languages that lack these things.
If we can ever get to the stage where I can just think and it gets saved as a text file, that would be more exciting to me than "metaverse" and quantum computing together.

What I don’t understand is why they don’t employ a second pair of keys, that the console only has the public key part of.

Encrypt with one key pair, sign with another. And if the console had the public key part only of the signing key, it could first verify the signature with that public key before decrypting the payload with private key of the key pair used for encryption.

People would still be able to decrypt the firmware by extracting the private key, and they could still find exploitable bugs in the firmware, but they would be unable to sign custom firmware, since the console would not hold the private key of the signing keypair.

Has it been confirmed that the private keys that have been extracted would allow one to run custom firmware on the PS5? Or is Sony already doing something like what I am suggesting here, and thereby protecting against custom firmware for the PS5?
I read, this "inflation" is taking 30-36+ % of lower waged' earners income in food shopping alone. But only 8% of wealthier earners, they are hardly feeling any pinch.

One feels it deeply, the other does not. I read that some on Wall st are blaming the lower waged for inflation because of stimulus checks. (There wasnt a similar feeling of blame when Wall st got all the stimulus checks in the 2008 of course ;)

Double Standards; whereby those who earn above 250K are blame free, and those below must remain with no living standards raise lest THEY get blamed for inflation and the general untouchable like gangsterism on Wall st.

In a nutshell, If those on lower wages are not allowed to get ahead some, whats the point of capitalism??
This is a fascinating comment. It caters both to fears of climate catastrophe and fears of authoritarian dystopia. Most responses to it are unaware of this duality and instinctively project one side onto it's motives.

My own biases lead me to believe it is warning of a dystopian society because of human political activity, not anthropogenic climate change. I may be wrong, and so far many of the responses are taking the opposite position.

I think there might still be operators to help setting up a call with a deaf person. Other than that, I had kind of assumed that the concept was obsolete. What would you need an operator for?

Hi - I'm a lead on the Steampipe (https://steampipe.io) project. Rate limits are definitely an interesting challenge, but actually less of an issue for AWS than many of our other plugins.

Because rate limits are separate across accounts, regions and services, the parallel queries work really well in those cases.

We do sub-API queries for tables, but only when the column is requested. So, "select name from aws_s3_bucket" just does a list call while "select * from aws_s3_bucket" does multiple API calls per row. These sub-API calls are the main potential source of rate limits since they hit the same API [1]. BTW, Cloud Control from AWS is actually much more subsceptible to this problem! [2].

We also use a custom backoff algorithm that is fast then slow to give good speed in the usual cases and ensure results if throttling ramps up [3].

Finally, we automatically cache results in memory between requests and can always save results into materialized views or similar to avoid repeated calls in larger cases.

TBH, live querying of APIs has proven so much more effective than we even hoped when we started!

Do you have a mailing list I can toss my email on for when this is available on Linux? Honestly I was ready to buy it instantly before I saw the platform limitation, but it would be even better if it could run some basic filters like removing pops and de-essing, which I always struggle to get working right in Audacity (I have a screenshot saved of my filter curve because Audacity doesn't save it, it's so stupid).
Those in debt (which is the majority of people) benefit from inflation though. Be it mortgages, car loans, or even just credit-card debts. If inflation/wage growth is 6% and your mortgage is 3% and your car payment is 5%, you're getting ahead.

The people who are hurt by inflation are people holding cash and/or bonds.

Snark aside, I sometimes feel like we reinvent the wheel using new technologies just because we like the new hotness.

I see the OS battles take place and my only thought is..at work, I want an OS that: Boots and then gets the hell out of my way so I can do my work. I don't want it to try and sell me things or re-arrange things or have to spend time tinkering or fixing it.

Now in my free time, sure! I set up a computer with pass thorough GPU so I can game in Windows while running Linux. It was fun and a learning experience.

Assembly -> ... -> Ruby -> Rails -> -> UIs to deal with framework abstractions

I think the 'no code' is just a marketing term to explain something that everyone here is familiar with: the tradeoffs of building with abstractions.

On the one hand, powerful abstractions to build-a-blog-in-15-mins. On the other, the decrease in flex/extensibility and the maintenance pains that come with using tools in unintended ways.

We'll get to a stage where we can build with VR-think-about-a-component-and-see-it-appear or w/e but we all know there's always inherent complexity that eventually requires going under the hood or just straight up reimplementing.
to be clear, We are already talking about a hypothetical scenario where there are 8 billion people living on the moon, and your concern is that the mining could further scale up beyond this?

I don’t see any other method of economy / government solving either. USSR hid all kinds of dangers (including Chernobyl), China barely is reacting to climate change and notoriously has sacrificed its people for economic gain, etc.

The value structures of how much to care for any one person are different independent of government. Individual versus collective shows itself in both democratic capitalist governments on both sides, and now with market reforms so does communism.
Indeed, if they'd reduced the weight by 2x the original weight then they would have succeeded in inventing anti-gravity.
