Most people didn’t predict Bitcoin and blockchain would succeed. Being someone who said it would fail doesn’t make you special, interesting, or unique because that is the standard line that 99%+ who heard about Bitcoin thought. Yet it’s here and successful, and at a minimum it’s going to help people in countries with corrupt central banks like Lebanon to get some modicum of stability.

Some interesting comparisons in there. There sure is a lot of cult-like behavior coming out of the cryptosphere, I wonder if/when that aspect will stop. The underlying tech has great potential, the scammy gambling cult part--not so much.

The hardest thing to learn about being a manager is that you can't measure your productivity the same way anymore. You aren't working tickets, or as many as you used to. You can't count lines of code or features completed. At the end of a long hard day, you're just as tired but you didn't do very much (or maybe any) of what you used to consider work.

You have to find new ways of justifying your existence TO YOURSELF. You need to consider the value in decisions and relationships, processes and long term goals. It's a very hard shift to make but can be very rewarding.

Good luck.

For me the main turndown of using PHP is when I need to host the PHP website, php-fpm and Apache+mod_php seem to be the only two options. (FastCGI doesn't even have a proper specification).
It was common to have to parse below XML (angle bracket counting) to convert each stanza to an XML element, then parse those as separate XML documents.

You'd also have to explicitly turn XML namespace support _off_, since so many systems didn't actually support them. XML defines well-formedness and namespace-well-formedness as two different things, and you didn't want to completely drop communication because the other side was sending a message that didn't meet the more stringent requirement.

Some implementations would figure out ways to incrementally disrupt and extract elements from the DOM - but this would sometimes cause resource leaks due to the design of the W3C DOM itself.

The expat had explicit support for parsing Jabber/XMPP messages very early, and was by far the most often XML component used for making libraries.
There's a very good reason for this "common attitude", and it is network effects with their benefits for productivity. If the standard library includes a useful abstraction, then your code and my code that use that abstraction have an easier time interoperating, and so does the entire rest of the world. That's really handy.

No, it is pretty solidly founded in logic: these operations have nearly zero operating expenses - profit is a function of visibility. What other scumbag activities shares that same model? You think some of the viagra spam proceeds are getting reinvested into medical research as well? These sites always lag availability elsewhere - they aren't the source for anything.
Oh yeah, the comparisons of Bitcoin with XML and a train wreck are much better and much more accurate than the commenter's analogies.

The fact that blockchains are used by criminals is definitive proof that it improves upon traditional financial infrastructure also in legitimate use cases where trust is an issue. I.e., blockchains are an indisputable success from a technological point of view.

The fact that criminals use tools, such as bolt cutters, cars and computers, doesn't mean that the tools are evil. Criminals are evil! Punish criminals for engaging in criminal activities, don't punish morally upstanding citizens for enjoying the liberty afforded them by virtue of their humanity.

There, two simple points that 99% of bitcoin "critiques" fail to address.

I updated my reply with data showing real wage drop, shortly after you responded. In addition, id like to add opinion that the current cpi does not accurately reflect healthcare costs, which are continuing to skyrocket unchecked [1].

Housing costs will also lag as is standard. so we might not see that effect entirely now but we will in the next year or two.

I’m not sure where exactly the goalposts are in this conversation but as you can tell I’m extremely bullish on inflation and the wealth gaps between the poor and wealthy widening. I believe the government is past the point of no return on debt and will need to continue to print money indefinitely to stay caught up. If we were using 70s measures of inflation i suspect we would be hovering around 13%+. Peers who are experts and leaders in finance and economics are of the same opinion - and are currently making a killing off this money printing episode.

I would love to hear more dissenting opinion though and am definitely open to it.

Something that you (or anyone else) insubstantiatedly label as misinformation may just not be so. That's pure censorship - "I think this is wrong, therefore it has to be removed". That's the rigidity and simplemindedness as opposed to intellectual curiosity, doesn't spark intellectual discussion and creates echo chambers of people regurgitating the same narratives over and over.

Fortunately people sharing your approach are not having any say here so we keep HackerNews a civilised place where all opinions expressed without arrogance are having light of day.
I believe the one big issue with DOIs is they rely on the resource owners to update the centralized database if the resource location changes. So links can still break/rot despite knowing the URN.

Another issue is that it doesn't guarantee the URN (i.e. DOI number) uniquely identifies a resource. So a single resource can have several aliases, potentially confusing discussions or bypassing blacklists, etc.
Yeah I was also surprised by that line. I’ll give the author “harder to recover” but definitely not “harder to debug”

> My nephew hung himself at 14 years old after a doctor thought he had ADHD and gave him ritalin. It was a misdiagnosis.

I have ADHD and the first to get diagnosed in my family, and now that I'm dealing reasonably well with that, strongly suspect other ASD-related traits: obsessionality, sensory issues, social problems, but these lightly enough that I've been able to make it through life just being a bit "weird" and that's okay because I'm a successful software developer. (Crazy rich guys are just "eccentric", right?)

My father definitely does have many of these too, and if you look back at the family history it's everywhere... from cousins with autism who can't live independently, to back generations with erratic behaviour for which this sort of neural difference is the best explanation.

Now speaking to the quote... my 13 year old has terrible levels of anxiety and depression, and has an ADHD diagnosis. We very briefly tried a stimulant and just as quickly took him off it, whereas they have worked well for me (now, I was also suicidal as a teen.)

Why? He struggles with focus and concentration, which the stimulants should help with, as they do for me. My best guess is that he has a deeper problem in finding life meaningless, a lot of "no point to anything" and "I don't want to live anymore". When he took the stimulants, he was able to focus... but on those thoughts since he had little else he was thinking about and that made the depression and anxiety so much worse. So I can absolutely see how Ritalin could result in suicide. :(

The difference for me was that I knew what I loved, and I knew what I wanted to do with my life, yet I was constantly beset with intrusive thoughts that were telling me I should be doing something "better" with my time. And a fundamentalist religious upbringing had me thinking that was my conscience or God and therefore I should be paying attention to it. But then that almost shrank to nothing as soon as I started the amphetamines.

So I view this as a similar situation to giving antidepressants to sufferers of bipolar and mania; you end up exacerbating the problem.

We have been using dask to support our computational pathology workflows [1], where the images are so big that they cannot be loaded in memory, let alone analyzed (standard pathology whole slide images are ~1GB; some microscopy techniques generate images >1TB). We divide each image into a bunch of smaller tiles and process each tile independently. The dask.distributed scheduler lets us scale up by distributing the tile processing across a cluster.

Benefits of dask.distributed: easy to get up and running, and has support for spinning up clusters on lots of different computing platforms (local machines, HPC cluster, k8s, etc.)

One difficulty is optimizing performance - there are so many configuration details (job size, number of workers, worker resources, etc. etc.) that it's been hard to know what is best.

Clueless. Doesn't know the difference between Bitcoin(Proof of work) and "Crypto" shit coins (proof of stake) which are not in any way decentralized.
Bitcoin has had a greater than 10^5 times return on investment in 10 years. This technology is a first for the human race in being a fair and decentralized form of money and store of value.
Not to mention that fiat currency(e.g. the US dollar) is by far the most used store of profits in organized crime and this includes international banks that pay minor fines for laundering billions in illegal profits.

How wonderfully tautological this is: those with suicidal tendencies are deemed incapable of making the choice due to "mental illness". How can you tell if they're mentally ill? You look for symptoms of course, symptoms like "they have suicidal tendencies".
The general pratice in the console space for anti cheat was to rely on the consoles inability to run modified code via DRM. A game on the PC could be over run by cheaters but have very few issues on console, until the console is broken.

These days crossplay removes that secuirty blanket (After all, thats all it was, a secuirty blanket).

The 360 is a nice example, until the DVD-Rom firmware mod was out there things were pretty peaceful in the online gaming space (Excluding people using external manipulation such as network manipulation or exploiting bugs in the code allowing them to get into out-of-bounds areas. Things like aim bots just wasn't a thing).

Once the DRM was bypassed starting with the DVD-Rom mod people quickly found that often the only file that was checked for modifications was the .xex file that the console executed. Many games would just have their configs in scripts that could just be easily edited, burnt onto a fresh disk and the game would just happily use those edited configs because the games were pretty much client authoritative esp thanks to the peer to peer nature most games used.

To get around Tilte Updates / Server side game configs people would use scripts which were still loaded off disk to change the TU/server side loaded config values back to what ever they wanted after the game had loaded/fetched them.

The JTAG & Reset glitch hacks gave cheats more freedom as a) they didn't have to burn a new DVD with every change they wanted to make b) gave them even more freedom on the system to change things as they were basically "root".

My point being that many console games at the time used the consoles DRM as their anti-cheat, once one was broken, so was the other.
> I put more weight in what experts say because they have the years of education and experience to help guide them

Unless those years of education and experience translate into actually being able to make better predictions about what to do than you can, they're useless as something to rely on.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Pick any two:

- Protection of voter identity (who is the voter)

- Protection of vote integrity (what was their vote)

- Protection of vote validity (is this vote the actual vote of an actual voter)

This is not a technical problem. Generally, countries that take Election Day off and make it compulsory don't have anything like the problems the US does.
If you rub them in your eyes hard enough, you can badly injure your corneas. Maybe if you're really creative you can find some other way to damage yourself with them, but that's all I can think of. Tartaric acid can be toxic at 2000 mg/kg or so, but calcium tartrate is much less soluble, so even much larger doses are probably safe.
Java and C# are not website-first languages and have never been popular on webhosts. They're still very widely used, maybe even growing; certainly I'd bet that both have a better growth rate than PHP at the moment.
The killer non-speculative app for bitcoin so far seems to be avoiding regulations on currency and payment.

Ransomware payment is an example of that.
>I'm now remembering how frustrating was for me to take school related things too seriously and discover you cared more than your teachers when I was her age.

Perhaps it's you taking this children's assignment too seriously. Was the goal really to find who could grow the best sodium crystal, or was it to teach them how to manage a small project and learn a bit of chemistry? Did your daughter learn anything about those things?

That teacher has a bunch of other kids to educate. Maybe they don't care, or maybe you just have your priorities screwed up a bit.
I think this article kind of misses the point.

The best thing that came out of Bitcoin isn't Bitcoin itself, it's that it's the progenitor and catalyst to more useful and interesting things like DeFi, smart contracts, distributed governance, and all sorts of ideas and future tech.

Simply saying that Bitcoin is garbage and should fail is a bit like looking back at the tree of life at some goopy half fish, half land creature, and saying "look at this crappy thing, I hope it fails".
I have used XMPP since forever, and actively used it for GTalk federation. I don’t think I remember any spam messages, but there might have been one or two.

I sold my BTC from 2011 in the (what felt "big" at the time) run-up end of 2017, before it crashed in 2018.

Me at the time: "nailed it. knew this was hype and surfed it beautifully. looking forward to never thinking about crypto again."

Me now: "blew it. didn't even realize what 'mainstream' could mean."

What this taught me is that hype can come in waves, and the next one might be bigger and the timing unknown.

This article is great because it outlines all the different reasons why the hype of crypto has kept growing. It has so much controversy, is pretty generic, and nobody can really make sense of it. So it just keeps getting bigger because it is driving everyone nuts until they either:

A) get it out of their system and move on because honestly, dollars work

B) get rich off it and stop caring because they're rich now (probably converted a good amount to USD ;)

C) don't get rich off it but could have / wished they had and spend time hating it until something distracts them towards a healthier life

D) use it for practical purposes (aka crime) and then eventually get caught and have to wait out a sentence until they can get back in

In my opinion, it is the very fact that it has defied so many predictions (while confirming others) that both explains its persistence, and leads to the author wanting to encore his prior post in the context of the _current_ wave of crypto hype.

> I for one greatly rely on presence. It very often informs if I should or should not send a message to someone.

Do you have an example? I certainly don’t operate this way. I just fire off a message. The status only informs my expectation of when a reply might arrive.

In the absence of a status I have no expectation of a reply. With mobile devices I still get immediate replies frequently because of notifications. So I don’t rely on status.
No, the process in real world is something like this:

- You go to the bank

- You write down something you must provide for someone to do the thing

- You signed something with a pen

- Then you talk to them something that they must listen carefully to.

- Then you wait for them to do something in their machines.

- Then ok, u got a SMS message to know that the transaction is confirmed.

From my memory at the time AIM and Skype would both Just Work. I think maybe MSN would forcibly log you out if you logged in on a second computer? (Still better than continuing to route messages to your other computer, which is what XMPP does by default).
