Did you read any of that code?

I looked at mooncatparser and it just hardcodes all possible 2-bit art as a big string array constant at the top of the JS file. Definitely not "on the blockchain". The part that's stored on the blockchain is the index into the big string array.
Fiat cash is similarly untraceable and decentralized as crypto currency.

That is because it has fungiblity and transactions that aren't censorable.
I/We have large inventory of crypto balances more frequently than fiat.

So I think you have to switch your frame of reference here. I’m not doing cumbersome things to get crypto and then send it to someone. I do cumbersome things to get and send fiat where having permission to transfer it is even a factor.

Fiat users are pretty interesting in that they typically have never been in a circumstance to accept a large payment or a volume of payments. Even though when I use fiat I am able to send to only the banked population within a banking walled garden, most of them dont even know how to accept payment. “Wire?ABA?Ach?IBAN?SWIFT? Why is my Zelle/Venmo/Paypal frozen the one time I did something important to me?” Native crypto users are exempted from this. Even brokerage accounts for stock investing are walled gardens.

Per institution, per account type, there are varying degrees of online wire transfer convenience, many times with an unclear daily or monthly wire limit. As people can acquire goods, services, and invest with their crypto, many people just choose that path available to them and don’t swap back to fiat. If they are also paid in fiat then they use that to pay for the things that require payment in fiat, but people are willing to build balances in this parallel borderless ecosystem as well.

The biggest downside of Reddit is that it's so darn hard to find your own posts. The Reddit search seems completely broken for this, so you rely on DDG/Google etc. but this is far from perfect.

I downloaded all my messages with some script, but that doesn't seem complete either since there are messages missing I'm *sure* I posted on Reddit. It's also not very convenient.

Why do I want to find my own posts? Sometimes I write something at length explaining X, and then a few weeks, months, or even years later someone asks about X again and I want to link my previous detailed post.
Considering that the last commit was 3 years ago.. I'm not so optimistic that we'll ever see it arrive in practice.
The term for "deliberately make it worse for cars" is "Traffic Calming", and it works quite well, prevents accidents, and saves lives:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_calming

>Traffic calming uses physical design and other measures to improve safety for motorists, pedestrians and cyclists. It has become a tool to combat speeding and other unsafe behaviours of drivers in the neighbourhoods. It aims to encourage safer, more responsible driving and potentially reduce traffic flow. Urban planners and traffic engineers have many strategies for traffic calming, including narrowed roads and speed humps. Such measures are common in Australia and Europe (especially Northern Europe), but less so in North America. Traffic calming is a calque (literal translation) of the German word Verkehrsberuhigung – the term's first published use in English was in 1985 by Carmen Hass-Klau.

https://www.wired.com/2004/12/traffic/

>HANS MONDERMAN is a traffic engineer who hates traffic signs. Oh, he can put up with the well-placed speed limit placard or a dangerous curve warning on a major highway, but Monderman considers most signs to be not only annoying but downright dangerous. To him, they are an admission of failure, a sign - literally - that a road designer somewhere hasn't done his job. "The trouble with traffic engineers is that when there's a problem with a road, they always try to add something," Monderman says. "To my mind, it's much better to remove things."

>[...] In Denmark, the town of Christianfield stripped the traffic signs and signals from its major intersection and cut the number of serious or fatal accidents a year from three to zero. In England, towns in Suffolk and Wiltshire have removed lane lines from secondary roads in an effort to slow traffic - experts call it "psychological traffic calming." A dozen other towns in the UK are looking to do the same. A study of center-line removal in Wiltshire, conducted by the Transport Research Laboratory, a UK transportation consultancy, found that drivers with no center line to guide them drove more safely and had a 35 percent decrease in the number of accidents.

Hans Monderman: Rethinking the design of streets and public space.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjBGokenEhQ

>An Urban Design London and Urban Design Group Lecture

>Hans Monderman has been one of the most significant influences on the current debate about the design of streets and spaces in the UK. A traffic engineer and road safety specialist from Northern Holland, he is celebrated as the pioneer of shared space as a means to influence speed and driver behaviour.

>Monderman has been the inspiration behind scores of towns and villages which work without road markings, traffic signs, signals, kerbs, barriers and bollards. ‘Most engineers, when faced with a problem, try to add something,’ he says. ‘My instinct has always been to take something away.’
Following a short introduction by Rob Cowan, Hans explains his approach, work and experiences.
I wouldn't be surprised if he got re-hired for more money.

Recruitment often is kind of separate deal from everything else.

It was kinda unfortunate that his former direct boss had any saying in the matter of recruitment.

Pip ships with the official cpython interpreter, to the point there's even an "ensurepip" module in the standard library to install it if someone ripped it out.

There are multiple PEPs about pip.

https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0453/ makes it as official as it gets.
Because every programming language will have their own opinions on how to link to external libraries and what those external libraries should look like (eg Java libraries are ZIP archives with a .jar extension, JIT languages will have their libraries as raw source code).

But since C is the de facto standard for OS libraries, most languages end up supporting calls to C libraries. Thus C libraries do become the language-agnostic library.
It’s interesting to note that the cyclists in your example have the same interest as the rest of the parties: an equal and safe share of the available road space and yet, you all them “special interests” and they’re supposed to yield and take a detour.

A quick and dirty way to do this is by syncing the known hosts file between all your clients. Make it writable by only the IT staff in charge of provisioning new systems and have them add the pubkeys during provisioning.
There was a post on Embrace the Red a while ago. It also talks about how there is not even a hash required on-chain.

https://embracethered.com/blog/posts/2021/broken-nft-standar...

It all is really up to whoever implements it to make decisions on how secure/verifiable/reliable an NFT is.

Storing the image itself on-chain actually makes most often not a lot of sense if you think about it, but at least a hash should be required in such cases.

Yuck. More intrusive than an IDE, I'll pass.

This will just lead people into the equivalent of using the autocorrect answers too often as if you used the suggest feature of a phone keyboard on a sentence. Eventually it just breaks down and stops making any sense. The code equivalent is going to be bugs, security holes, and programmer headaches.
At least one company that I worked for contacted me to ask if I'd like to work for them again. So keeping tabs on your former employees and being aware of them in your recruitment process is something companies do.
Well, first of all the UNIX/POSIX API is a C API, so that question doesn't make much sense. On top of that, there have been no competitive systems programming languages until recently (and certainly none that weren't written in C), so that wouldn't have been worth it. Also, it wasn't really an idea per se: C is just the native language and lingua franca of UNIX and that's just how UNIX developed organically.

You can’t even stop copies on the same chain AFAIK. It’s decentralised after all.
Yes, blockchain stuff don’t abide within the established definitions in the society. In fact, that’s the main value proposition of it. You own certain amount of coins or NFT not because the legal framework allows it but because the software that interprets the blockchain says so. it’s distributed nature makes it a societal construct within the society that uses that software.

To own anything in the blockchain in the traditional sense, there needs to be a legislation for it and I’m not aware of any. The point is though, it doesn’t matter.

I really like this idea and great work!

I however am not a fan of relying on JavaScript to use comments. Although I guess there are third party Matrix clients, it seems like they are second-class citizens. If Element and Matrix devs focused on a native client like Telegram, I'd have been recommending Matrix long ago. However, for now IRC, XMPP, Usenet, and mailing lists all seem like better options due to the number of clients and lightweight options.
I think he means the national ID card system, which is indeed a national identity register. It was actually mandatory to have one until 1955 and while that's not the case anymore it is in practice.

For elections, this is important combined with the requirement in France to show a photo ID at the polling station (well, this is France so the obligation is not always one, but still...)

In the US, requirements to show a photo ID vary by state, some don't have any, afaik. In the UK no photo ID is asked at all. Neither country has ID cards.
Quite so. The old rule holds true: When quality of life is rising, no matter the regime, populace is happy. When quality of life is dropping, populace will revolt.
> Wow. Have you considered just getting better, or quitting? This is a very selfish way of thinking. You are playing at everyone else's expense.

I think 'hacking' is the real game parent is playing, the cat & mouse with the game developer likely gives them more rush than playing fair in the game itself.

Personally as a gamer I would like the game to be fair, free of cheaters but I've quit FPS games altogether not just because of cheating but It has become harder to smash the buttons due to accessibility issues, a double whammy.

Since then I've switched to RTS, specifically Factorio. It's a game which doesn't generalize game play and so I don't have to compete with physical effort; Play the game as I want without stress; Or should I say different kind of stress? Go to go...must keep the factory running.

But seriously, Thank you Factorio developers and community for building an inclusive game. As for hackers, feel free to put your efforts in building those sweet mods!

this is nice.

I built a couple of side-projects and startups - all on .net.

First one was on Xamarin even before it was bought by MS - the progress from that times is amazing, the last one - built fully on Blazor.

I believe more startups should try to adopt .net stack - it's fast, fun and efficient and becomes better every day.

Congrats .net teams on launch
Yeah, but I can’t sell you the PDF because I can’t prove that I’m selling only to you. That makes the PDF useless to sell on.

An example of something is the fact that I am a vim donor and a neovim initial backer. I really like that I’m in backers.md. If they would have handed out NFTs for backing, I would have loved that too.
Interesting that this was formulated so long ago.

But, point of language: "bribe" only applies when you're inducing someone to breach their responsibilities to someone else or "the system" as a whole, such as bribing someone to make a purchasing decision with the company's money or a policeman to leave you alone. While you can induce someone to make a decision on their own account, it's no more bribery than my employer is "bribing" me to write software.

There are chains where mining costs a fraction of BTC or ETH, both in terms of money and electricity use. Cardano, Polygon.
> But it would cost too much of added gas fees and the average user wouldn't understand the difference.

Reminder that this a poor line of thinking.

The average user of a smartphone has no idea how it works. The average user of software has no idea how their apps work. The average user of a blockchain doesn't know how it works, and they won't need to. This stuff gets abstracted out and developed enough to hide these details over time.
>I am disturbed and appalled that any so-called programmer would apply for a job without being able to write the simplest of programs. That's a slap in the face to anyone who writes software for a living. ... It's a shame you have to do so much pre-screening to have the luxury of interviewing programmers who can actually program. It'd be funny if it wasn't so damn depressing

Not sure if I should be happy or sad by this. Because I still dont think I can program at all. And I think part of the reason why FAANG ( or are they called MAMAA now ? ) are paying $200K for fresh grad and yet other there are part of US paying sub $100K. The range of qualities in terms of programmer is far too wide.

I hate Gitter with a passion. It's indexed, but it's chat after all, meaning it's painful to read as there are multiple conversations going on, and whatever you're looking for needs to be extracted from below the noise floor.

I already did. You made an unsubstantiated claim, and I pointed out your personal assertion was wrong and baseless, and provided a time history of gas prices as evidence, including the fact that not so long ago they were over 3 times higher than the current market price.

If you have a problem with the facts feel free to point out what exactly leads you to believe that justifies the discrepancy between your personal beliefs and the facts.
Answer to this question depends on your view of ethicality of different activities that are considered "crime". If you were a libertarian, then both drug trade and tax evasion, although crimes in a legal sense, would be completely ethical.
I don't think the bullwhip would predict global inventory increases, quiet the opposite from how I read the parent post.

The article shows global lows for raw materials, but production for China is up 20% and exports are 40% higher.

I can't find any reference to retail inventories in the article, but I think some of the stock could be found there - though I imagine that a lot of it could simply be stuck in transit.

I think you and OP agrees - the parent post tries to answer the why of the situation, which the article doesn't spend much/any time on
Actually the ownership of the coins and tokens does fit into established definitions. Hence why it slides into legal frameworks quite nicely and we see taxation, prosecutions and so on based on that ownership.

It’s just the ownership of what the NFT points to doesn’t.
The people don’t vote for the president, though, which is the point. They vote for electors, and sometimes the electors vote in the same way as the people. Reasonably often they don’t.

> On top of that, there have been no competing systems programming languages until very recently

There have been plenty. What has changed isn't the lack of competing languages, it's the discontent with C and C++. The Rust hype has coincided with the anti-C and anti-C++ hype and thus the "rewrite it in Rust" movement was born. But Rust wasn't even the first memory safe systems programming language, let alone first alternative to C (and neither was C the first systems programming language itself).
Isn’t AWS Global Accelerator more like CloudFlare Argo, rather than CloudFlare Workers?
Seems pretty reasonable, actually. Not as crazy as ATM Machine, since you can't have an ATM that isn't a machine, but you can have a Secure Shell that isn't secure.

Could also be a verb ("Guidelines [on how] to Secure Secure Shell") but even as an adjective it makes sense. "Guidelines to [a] Secure [setup of] Secure Shell" is a reasonable way to shorten that sentence, just like "Guide to [writing] Fast Java [code]" would be.

I stopped using this setup when I upgraded to a new printer, but it works pretty well when you’re willing to have the Pi do the rasterization and actual printing (for which I would recommend a minimum of 1GB of RAM).
And since Gitter is being turned into a frontend for Matrix, you might as well just have a Matrix room for your project. Or several rooms, grouped together in a "space".
Fair enough. We should be cautious but meanwhile almost every gene found in mice so far has been found in a closely related form in humans. Of the approximately 4,000 genes that have been studied, less than 10 are found in humans but not in mice.
Sourcesafe is a 90-era product. PDP-11 was discontinued long before Sourcesafe was even released.

There were version control software around in the 70’s but I do not think that the adoption rate was very high. I think it’s reasonable to assume that they didn’t use it in this case.
What I'm amazed over and over again is the culture of children. Songs, rhymes, games are transmitted from kid to kid and stay the same over the years, without them being teached by parents. Although kids quite fast grow out of this the culture only moves very slowly.
And also: yes, some assume that you may have some familiarity with Latin - irregardless of expertise, an attitude that makes you interested and embracing when you meet it (instead of recoiling), because you speak English. You use the language, so it is normal to think you open to what makes its gears.

Especially in a forum ("intellectual curiosity" intended) where many are engineers, one will suppose imbecility ("lack of proficiency in the use of the stick": again Latin, of course, as it builds a good share of the language) a countervalue. This place is called 'Hacker's news': you look inside things and not your own language, hacker?!
In our team(and i suppose in most places), the maxim to follow is to make novel mistakes. Making the same kind of mistakes is frustrating for both users and developers.
I know a bad programmer who got into Google using friends of his to do the interviews and a recommendation.

His code was not usable in production, so we told him to forget the 2 weeks notice so we could get on with rewriting his stuff. It wasn't worth dealing with him.

So it can be done.
>Or even to intentionally harm privacy or further business goals at users' expense?

Yes (and obviously).

Google, and other SaaS, have used such dark patterns to collect more user identity data (user profile info is what they ultimately sell - even if sold to advertisers "anonymized", the profile is richer and more worth the more data they have on you).
I would argue that your post is a nice post-rationalization, and is not very accurate historically. The mans in the first versions of UNIX used to show how to do syscalls both in Fortran and C, and only later they've dropped the Fortran because it was too much hassle; and since it was all done way before Ulrich Drepper invented shared libraries, we ended with system calls buried in the C runtime. Also, people wrote complete working OSes in Pascal exactly around the time C was invented, so the part about "no competing systems programming languages" is not true either.
IMO if you write "at length" explaining something, copy that to your own blog or at the very least a markdown file on your own computer. Don't rely on a 3rd party site for archival.
