Alright. This happens by default if I take no actions when I deposit USDC at FTX - the USDC is redeemed for dollars and added to my dollar balance. I can head over to the FTX OTC desk to trade my dollars for other fiat currencies at competitive rates provided by their HK banking partner. So the process of withdrawing to fiat takes a few seconds.
I don’t think it matters whether the GPL can successfully be enforced against the example you describe. The license’s author intended that it could be, and that is what matters.

A philosophical disagreement with the license’s intent shouldn’t be overlooked just because the license might not actually be enforceable.
The open source part of Darwin/XNU doesn't deserve to be called a "base OS" since version 6, when Apple closed the sources of a lot of drivers. There's no hardware that will boot these systems if you restrict to what is available under the APSL.

Sure: how a person frames the argument limits what kinds of evidence they are willing to consider.
But have your heard about my new project management style?

It’s called N.I.M-ble and it has some sort or people making sure the project moves along, managing expectations of both stakeholder and employees in the process.

The employees themselves do the work and also document it, maybe using some sort of cards, and push it forward in a shared view where everyone can get a good idea of there the project is.

It’s similar to traditional approaches, but we haven’t really had the technology to implement it yet as all tasks are encrypted as JSON files on the IPFS and have pointers to it on a custom made blockchain, which we call N.I.M.-chain.

Whenever a task gets pushed, a random person in India or Africa needs to shake their phone to acknowledge work has been done and the managers have to write slam-poetry on a public blockchain that is used as a decryption key for the task details as required by key shareholders. It doesn’t work on traditional companies, you need a DAO for it.

We also minted a NFT with the guidelines, it helped us secure about 20 mil in financing to further develop the tech but now we’re looking to launch an ICO to reach 100 mil because really, we are getting slower down by the slow progress in the management-tech space.
It is not trivial, but it is not rocket science either. And as far as that goes, rocket science is not that hard either. It is a skill set that is very much worth developing, which pays itself back exponentially.
I knew LLVM was doing a relicensing for a long time. And it was great that MAMAA all had lawyers agreeing on Apache 2.0 with Exceptions. ( Which in itself is probably a multi million operation ).

I keep wondering they they did not make Apache 3.0 with all their problems solved. And instead becomes Apache 2.0 with Exceptions?
> And from 200,000 years of marginal progress we suddenly went in less than 7,000 years from no writing and thinking the ground below our feet the largest thing in existence to measuring how long it takes the fastest thing in our universe (light) to cross the smallest stable object in our universe (a hydrogen atom).

Personally, i don't doubt that AGI is possible, even though it becoming a reality might take any number of centuries or millennia, if humanity even sticks around for that long and AGI is still a goal that they pursue.

The problem lies in everyone thinking on a more human timescale: "Will we see AGI during my lifetime?" The answer to that is almost certainly no, no matter how much the industry tries to sell state machines as AI or fledgling efforts as revolutionary advances.

Being overly optimistic in regards to time scales only hurts oneself, like expecting that we'd all have flying cars or even that we'll be able to get rid of ICE vehicles or make significant improvements to slowing the pace of climate change.
Same thing if your whole solution is a single function :)
.NET Core also introduced some new CLR features that are incompatible with the CLR used in .NET Framework. Span<T> for example.

This has happened before with .NET Framework 2, 3, 4 etc. but instead of making a .NET Framework 5 they rather made .NET Core cross-plattform and threw backwards-compatability-at-all-cost out of the window. While all .NET Framework applications (except the ones that do naughty stuff with reflection) that were compiled for .NET Framework 4.5 behave the same way on .NET 4.8, .NET (Core) got rid of this and lets developers bundle the CLR directly, giving them more leeway for incompatible changes.

Hello fellow scandinavian.

Well, it is the same in my country (Denmark), we have retsinformation.dk (litterally "information of the law"), but that does not hinder a corrupt state from altering "history" as they see fit.

Also, my mother was a german teacher and her ex-DDR speakers (many who were quite some time in prison) told us that, that basically all of them where enprisoned with due process. Their problems were, that the laws where constructed so you were a criminal if you did X, but also (due to a different law) if you did not do X.

It is the basic catch-22, that you cannot escape.

You are intimately dependent on the benevolence of your state/society, and if your state/society is not benevolent you can only throw your life at trying to change it (for everybody else)... You will the most likely fail (and be dead) unless a lot of (by definition) uncoordinated action happens at once.

Even in my country that boast of being a free and civil society we have problems once in a while.

In the 1990 we had a police chief should (sadly for him on camera), "shoot at their legs" (police shooting at citizens is very uncommon in Denmark) at a somewhat violent demonstration.

And we have what is called the Tibetian case where our police mislead protesters so that the visiting Chinese gov people did not have to look at the (otherwise legal) demonstration...

> You keep saying "why haven't they done it yet then?" while they are actively working on it. I don't know why it took so long, but it's happening now.

Yep, and we have seen some government bodies using Github or other platforms to publish open data, or to be more transparent on procedures, and yet most of them still don't do it. Which is my point: the problem is not lack of technology, but lack of motivation/human capability/initiative to do it.

> Once you have verifiable "truth" in a system, it becomes a lot harder for it to become corrupt. "The emperor has no clothes" modality stops being profitable. If a central authority clearly goes against the protocols of the system, for example: the police decide not to arrest someone who is proven to have stolen $10 million from someone, the system disintegrates.

I'm sorry but this looks incredibly naive. I can tell you a very real example: in my country, Spain, we have papers proving that, among others, a certain M. Rajoy, of the PP party, received money that came from illegal donations. The prime minister at the time, Mariano Rajoy from the PP party, denied that it was him on the papers. He didn't face any legal consequence.

There have been so many times that a central authority has clearly gone against the protocols of the system without it disintegrating... You can't apply tech solutions to a problem that's not at all about tech.

Gosh, what a load of baloney from a frog in a well.
Those benchmarks are a joke. Did you look at the source code? Nobody is writing real applications like that. Most of them do a single select and push the results out to the client.

(FWIW, I spend about 40% of my working time dealing with dotnet).
> Is it possible you’ve set the bar too high for yourself?

Probably but I have no way to turn this off and be happy with myself.

I try to approach everything I do from the angle of "what needs to be done to make this as good as it can be with my current skill set?". From a listener's perspective if I had to listen to something with a bunch of mouth noises, ums every 3 seconds or long pauses I would end up focusing on that instead of the topics being covered. It would give off a wrong impression that conflicts with my core values.

As someone once said, "you cannot fatten a pig by weighing it".
Cooperative multitasking actually works really well if the system is designed for it. It has many performance and reliability benefits.

It's mostly used in embedded or IOT systems, or inside a single application with async/await, but it can be used for the whole OS as well.

If the system and its built-in applications are designed to take advantage of it, and any external application is run inside a VM to make sure it doesn't misbehave, cooperative multitasking works great.
They express the same abstract intent but differ in context for the literalists in the crowd.

> Software benchmarks are super subjective.

No, they are not, but they are just a measurement tool, not a source of absolute truth. When I studied engineering at ETH we learned "Who measures measures rubbish!" ("Wer misst misst Mist!" in German). Every measurement has errors and being aware of these errors and coping with it is part of the engineering profession. The problem with programming language benchmarks is often that the goal is to win by all means; to compare as fairly and objectively as possible instead, there must be a set of suitable rules adhered to by all benchmark implementations. Such a set of rules is e.g. given for the Are-we-fast-yet suite (https://github.com/smarr/are-we-fast-yet).
Temperatures are anomalous, given what we know about the state of all the non anthropogenic factors acting upon climate at the moment. Nothing really contentious or 'propaganda' there.

Blackmail, extortion and drug dealing absolutely are real world problems that bitcoin directly serves to facilitate.

The notion of it being in any way an investment vehicle is a whole separate thing, an arguably non-proven use-case.

Being able to use bitcoin to conduct actions outside the control of any government or law is absolutely, demonstrably proven. That part delivers on all its promises.

Nobody ever said that the things you want to DO when you want to do them outside any legal or governmental control, are nice things. On the whole there are fewer impediments to doing nice things within the confines of laws and governments.

The more reasonable governments are, the more Bitcoin becomes only a method for facilitating straight-up crime. If you're fixing to be paid for being an absolute monster you've got to have an infrastructure that works even when the government wants to lock you up. You'll be doing things where you must not be identified or traced: where there are real specific reasons for law enforcement to be gunning for you, bigtime. Ransom, extortion, kidnapping: there are whole classes of behavior generally considered undesirable where you'd require a completely liquid and untraceable way to get paid off in order to get you to stop doing the thing.

Bitcoin is that tool, today and as long as it lasts. It's no investment vehicle but it is a very effective mechanism for ransom payments and enabling the avoidance of consequences no matter how monstrous you are. That's a practical and very active use case right now.
For that use case, I think one of the puppy linux flavors would work well. Some even have ubuntu package support: https://puppylinux.com/
C# was never really slow in the same way as python, etc. And anyway 99% of the time you're gonna be slow because the sack of meat writing the program screwed up some aspect of the system design or the code. Unless you're using something really shit-tier for perf.

The gap closed significantly with .NET core, which is why everyone was quite surprised when .NET 5 (the next iteration) had a fairly significant speedup in many scenarios.

For reference, Stack Overflow was running on .NET MVC on like 2 servers pretty recently (with some auxiliary infrastructure for CDN and search) and using MS SQL.. I think it might still be running on this setup but not 100%. Honestly I have no idea how they do it on a .NET monolith but there you go.
Maybe the difference is I use the ones that wrap around your ear, which are more secure.
I work with very competent engineers who are members of my same union. We work long hours, sometimes weekends, when the company needs it without complaint. We're in this thing together. To me, it's your attitude and frankly awful language used to describe your colleagues which is the problem.

We're all human beings, all of us. We all deserve dignity.
That is completely insane. Getting root on one container = complete access to the entire system with administrator level access? What kind of security operation are they running there exactly? Local root exploits aren't exactly unheard of, so you'd think the infrastructure would be designed to tolerate that sort of thing, not simply hand out private keys to management APIs to all and sundry.

I agree 100%, except my memory of the early crypto conversations is a bit different. I remember very little curiosity on display, and a whole lot of confidently wrong predictions of imminent collapse.

My view is that if cash is crude oil, Bitcoin and mined currencies are whale oil; competing against fusion.

The discussion here these days is basically people saying things like, whale oil is better than nuclear fusion because you can put it in your pocket; fusion is dangerous because Chernobyl; whales probably aren't that great for the environment anyway because they eat so much krill, etc. It's ignorance and delusion at best, and self interested FUD at worst.

Despite all their tech savvy, and socioeconomic advantages, most people here seem to be proudly and willfully ignorant re crypto. There are people in this thread, and indeed every crypto thread here I've ever seen, still moaning that proof of stake is a pipe dream, that proof of work / mining is necessary, that the environmental impact is too high, etc.

And that hasn't been true for at least 6 years.

Newer generations of crypto, such as Nano, are:
* nearly instant (<1 second confirmation time)
* more efficient than a credit card tx by an order of magnitude, and vastly more decentralized
* over 6 million times more environmentally friendly than bitcoin (0.000112 kWh vs 741 kWh)
* completely fee-less
* mining free - there are no coins being added or taken away, they are all distributed

If you think about it, there are literally hundreds of different groups with various vested interests who would fight tooth and nail against something so superior; and for the moment it's kinda working, because the new generation of crypto sounds a bit too good to be true next to BTC. It's truly disheartening seeing those discussion get flagged, full of nonsensical arguments that are so trivial to disprove. I remain confident that truth and efficiency will win out, just like fusion will. It just might take some time, and you'll probably have to give up on the idea that this community will wise up to it any time soon.
Compared to jedit, stability is a huge issue as IntelliJ seems to take a “move fast” approach which makes each update risky especially given their recent QA issues.

IntelliJ also doesn’t scale very well for large code bases due to the number of features it tries to provide. Basic things like project opening can take tens of minutes while jedit takes seconds (if that) as it’s not trying to build a syntax tree at load time.
Didn't know that. Well, seems it's pretty effective: at least I fell for it.
Never knew enums are even considered to be code smell

Linters can/should already detect when a switch on enum doesn't handle all cases
Eh? you don't have to know C to develop for Linux. Most of us don't write C at all. I've written maybe a few thousand lines in all my life, the vast majority of them for ESP32.
Look at Apple's or HBM benchmarks. Also, it's not just the length, but the extra contact points, the "safety" margins for it all (to allow some extra routing distance for lazier/complicated mobo design), etc. all force you to a lower frequency, which also reduces bandwidth.

(IMHO, I would not trade off modularity for that. But the public disagrees.)
What would be representation of some real work scenarios? I think their test suite covers wide spectrum of operations enough so to be able to draw conclusions from them.

In my opinion it's because it has not happened yet. Yes I know about the etherium experiment that has been delayed many times but may be running currently, but the crypto community seem to prefer the proof of work.
Yup, although I do enjoy finding edge cases that aren’t necessarily present in the examples or input. I intend to do a fair bit more property-based testing this year, just for kicks. That’s something I’ve had success with for raw algorithmic code but struggled with in the past for nitty-gritty real-world use cases.
hypertele-Xii didn’t say anything about whether or not they were personally interested in the subject matter. He/she was complaining about the click-bait title that would be more likely to discourage them from reading the article. The vast majority of web articles titled “… you need to know” are junk. I wouldn’t have read the article only I saw it was from APNIC.
Yes, yes it is.

Aks my brain to pick that one first, though.... ehhhh.
Yes! However, I'll say this: If you're using a new language that you're trying to learn, don't also try to do it for time. That is to say, take your time, it doesn't matter if it takes you a few days to do a single problem. Do try and read other people's solutions in OCaml after you've solved it yourself, or even before, if you're really stuck.
> All your system tells a voter is that there's a mapping somewhere of their key to their vote. It doesn't say that vote is included in the total.

It's a database of votes and tokens used to cast them. You could also query what tokens were used to vote X and check that they make up the total. You could see the token you used on the list of Y you voted.

> Implementing and maintaining this system, as well as training administrators how to use it, would cost millions of dollars, and lead to all kinds of controversies because people don't remember their votes all that well [1].

It's one thing to remember what you voted a few days after the election, and another to remember it months later when polled, which is what [1] is about. This system is meant to increase public confidence in the election result. Wouldn't you think it worth a few millions, considering the aftermath of 2020 elections?

> It's also worth saying whether or not your vote was counted is already public record, resulting in even less relative benefit for a system like this.

You are assured that it is counted, but with this scheme you could easily check that there's a vote cast with token you used.

Btw, this system sort of exists already in countries where you write the candidate's name or number on the ballot, and ballots are publicly available for recounting; the token is your handwriting. It just isn't anonymous as someone else could also recognise it.
It makes as much sense to try to run a bash script with zsh than a python or lua script imho. Those are different programming languages, why would you expect things to work the same ?
Would be interested to see this benchmark on M1 (Apple Silicon), are there instructions on how to run it on that?
The choice often isn’t between having a given derivative work be permissively licensed or copyleft. It’s between having the derivative work exist at all or not.

As a software author, choosing a license that requires people to be subject to more conditions to use my software is giving them less freedom, not more. If someone makes a derivative work with a restrictive license, that doesn’t make my software any less free.
I feel like the more egregious example is BMW's subscription model for heated seats. I think once you buy the self-driving package, you get to keep it, along with future updates. Sure, it's pricey but it's also an incredible feature. The idea of being able to have your car do the work on interstates sounds amazing, not that I can afford it. If it required yearly payments and cost extra to upgrade, that would be pretty bad, in my opinion.
That’s exactly the issue I’m facing now. Have a team of .NET devs who feel like the walls are closing in because the corporate strategy is clearly elsewhere. My goal for now is to focus on moving off of Windows because that’s actually where all of our pain comes from.
Yes, when you get to the very high frequencies of modern RAM, physical distance is significant. For years overclockers have been using mini-ITX motherboards to get the RAM closer to the CPU for higher frequencies.
I don't recall saying that they still were. It happened when paypal was still practically the exclusive payment method on their platform. So probably more than a couple of years ago but the date it happened wasn't important. It was the details of the incident and Paypal's poor reaction to it that are pertinent to this conversation.

You can use the Yggdrasil network, cjdns or one of the other similar projects. This allows you connect to the network and reach all the other nodes if you can find a way to peer (wired or radio) with another node.

To reach the traditional internet, you'll need someone else to provide a tunnel. But if your target also has a node in these networks you can communicate just fine.
