Big companies like Facebook and Google do write their web tech in C/C++ because performance and power consumption does matter. If something written in Rails is ten times slower then in C, that means ten times more servers using ten times more power. As I'm sure you can imagine, cutting a zero of these companies server bills is a big deal. You can buy a lot of hours doing manual memory management for that kind of money.

Why would this be desirable?
Even if you assume 100 watts of power per validator, it’s a >99% reduction in energy consumption. In reality, the average power consumption per validator is probably closer to 1–20 watts due to the fact that additional validator don’t stress an existing system effectively at all.

> Is it just me or does the future he paints sound absolutely abysmal?

That's how I know it's an realistic and mostly unbiased prediction that's relatively accurate: it looks kinda like today, except more of it. Barring a black swan event that drastically changes our system of values and incentives, that's probably how it's going to play out. We just had a black swan play out and... it's all the same, just six feet more of it.

Most social revolutions either up reshuffling the deck or in disaster. The low hanging fruit in most technological fields has been picked and "priced in" during decades past.

You don't need a realtor to buy or sell houses; realtors advise, advertise, and network, lubricating the process so that you don't need to guess at what a good asking price is, or whether you need to repaint the walls. Blockchain real-estate would not in any way obviate realtors.

>I'd love to see some innovation with the old school design ethos too; maybe there are even better ways of displaying controls? Or maybe a new way to think about controls that weren't around back then.

Oh yeah, this is something we've been exploring (carefully) with SerenityOS! There's obviously been a lot of good UI/UX innovations since the late 90s, and it's super interesting to look for ways to integrate them with the classic aesthetics.

As an example, we use breadcrumb bars in our file manager, to display the current directory as a part of separately interactive segments.

And we also have "Assistant" which works similarly to macOS Spotlight, for fast access to a range of data providers.

I'm sure there are many similar concepts we have yet to discover :)

I really dislike forecasting with vague statements that are almost certainly going to be correct.

Case in point: "Anti-aging technology will extend the health-spans of the rich."

There are myriad ways in which this statement will be true and yet it's completely useless today. As long as there is any tech (biotech, medicine, plastic surgery, etc.) that extends people's lives by even a little bit, or improves their QOL into a slightly older age, then this is true.

It's unactionable, unclear, etc.

I'm constantly looking for good, verifiable, and actionable forecasts for this stuff, if anyone has them. And if you are interested in doing such a thing, please reach out. :)
Those startups you mention are 15+ years old, would they still choose PHP today?

Maybe you haven't heard of startups failing because of choosing the wrong stack, but I'll wager you don't hear about most startups failing because...why would you? Also, have you heard of startups re-platforming? Either because the current stack is falling apart or the company is acquired by a bigger fish and they need to integrate with other services so parts end up getting rewritten to Java/C#.

The fact is PHP is good for making websites, and that's all you'd really want to do with it. There are other languages that are good at making websites and they are more popular and have other benefits.

If you are building things with PHP and it's working for you, then awesome. But seriously, why encourage it?
No, but these people will participate on social sites which run software to do all that for you, so they get to see a little 'Authentic!' badge on their monkey picture, and everyone else sees it too. They will also try desperately to get everyone else to use these sites, so they will have people around to be impressed by their Authentic! monkey picture. I suppose in the worst-of-all-possible-futures, Twitter and Facebook adopt this scheme and verify your monkey pictures for your adoring fans too.

What I can't understand is why anyone with a soul thinks this is a world we should move toward.

If a user is malicious then they quite probably have access to malicious cards too.

Moreover, you're locking out users who don't want to give you their card just to try a service.
The context of this thread is having a domain with a catchall inbox and that domain already having all the necessary DNS stuff is assumed.

There was an article on here the other day about a new approach to generating electricity from ammonia. The downside, though, is that creating ammonia needs H2 feedstock, which is often made by stripping the carbon off of methane obtained from natural gas.

If this is a useful way to get H2 feedstock for producing ammonia, that’s interesting on its own!

Ah thanks for clarifying. I think this issue gets muddled by people who do want to override the default repo to get short names, to which I roll my eyes. But it seems there is a real issue in that this:

... is actually not possible for a basic docker install. (Every time I use the word "just" it turns on me, and this is not an exception.) There are some implementations that have this feature (k8s, podman, etc), but the fact that it's not possible in the industry default container solution is an issue.

> But it completely misses the point.

No. It does not. As demonstrated by your continued misunderstanding.

> I'm not required under the BSD to provide anyone with access to the original, BSD licensed code.

True. But I don't think that's relevant to this discussion, as nobody has claimed you had to provide such access.

> If I modify a BSD licensed source file and include it in my program, I am free to license the whole thing to anyone as GPL.

No, you are not. Nothing in copyright law or the BSD license allows you to do so (again, probably, unless a court in the future expands the idea of a "compilation" to software).

> This does not "change" the licensing of the original component - but I am not providing the original component.

Your modified file would still have a big ol' BSD license attached to it, unless you violate the BSD license by removing it. What exactly is your plan for convincing a judge that you really licensed that file under the GPL despite publishing it with a BSD license statement?

> If I include a GPL licensed source file in my program, the entire program becomes GPL even if I don't want it to be.

Um. No. It's hard to figure out what confusion of ideas could possibly lead someone to this conclusion.

> Unless the recipient of the software painstakingly removes all GPL components, they must abide by the GPL's requirements for the whole of the software.

Abjectly false. There is no requirement to abide by the GPL for a work that is licensed under the BSD license, and there is also no possibility of changing it so that such a component is not BSD-licensed.
My wife is a goddess of "Excel abuse". She (a financial analyst) unearths and uses the kinds of features in Excel I didn't know existed. But she can't code and isn't interested in learning how to do so. It's a different mindset entirely. I think MS is blindsided by having so many programmers around that 99% of the people out there aren't anything like engineers in terms of their mindset, let alone programmers. To those folks all this "accessing of properties" might as well be some inscrutable alien language.

> 2050, that super futuristic year, is only 29 years out, so it is exactly the same as predicting what the world would look like today back in 1992

The problem with this analysis is that the rate of change of the world is accelerating; the world is changing faster now than it was in 1992. Fundamentally, this is driven by the fact that all the changes from the past cause further changes, in an exponential process. Thus a straightforward linear estimate of the future will underestimate how much things will change in the future.
I've often wondered why so many basic chemistry labs kept picric acid in stock. I really have to wonder if it was some sort of very slow practical joke against hazmat disposal teams.
Kind of wish we'd move TLS into the kernel at this point. Centralize the developer attention on it, and acknowledge that if the kernel is going to provide TCP sockets, it should provide all the tooling needed to secure those sockets as well.

It's not a perfectly logical argument, but kernels get patched and upgraded more often then almost any other software.

I've used some systems where visitors to the site connect to each over WebRTC to share and synchronize content. The LocalStorage API is generally used on the clients for persistence. One such system is GUN, which even has a brief example[0] demonstrating the core data structure of a blog with a comment section.

As you would expect, it's not very stable unless either there is a lot of traffic (constant visitors) to keep the data live or you deploy a dedicated "superpeer" for that purpose. If a new visitor arrives and there are no other peers to synchronize with then they will just see a blank page.

>which is notorious for police surveillance (1 camera per 13 people!)

These cameras are mostly privately owned. They're not part of a police surveillance system.

Bear in mind that the Metropolitan Police only has about 33,000 officers. Even if they all spent all day watching surveillance footage, they wouldn't get anywhere close to looking at the footage from all of those cameras. What happens in practice is that lazy (or overworked) police officers will occasionally bother to retrieve CCTV footage that might be relevant to solving a crime.

I can see why people feel creeped out by CCTV cameras if they're not used to them. However, painting London as some sort of hypersurveillance environment isn't true to life (at least in my experience of living there).

It's also worth adding that CCTV is an almost absurdly inefficient means of spying on people if you actually have malicious intentions. We all now carry personal tracking devices that are immeasurably more useful for this purpose.
Couple reasons:

* It's waning in popularity, new programmers aren't being taught and there isn't a lot of incentive for them to seek it out
* Other languages are also good at making websites but many are more popular and more flexible - machine learning, video games, front-end web development, enterprise services (and sure PHP can be "enterprise" but many new cloud/apache projects are java first)

So yeah, I'm not saying PHP is dead...just that it's not a good investment for new developers and it's questionable for new projects.

> A failed card auth does not remove the obligation to pay.

Let them sue over it. They'll just love how the courts would rule in favor of a customer who clearly tried to recover their account in good faith and tried to cancel the billing in good faith and, failing both, canceled the billing in the only remaining way since the company provides literally zero customer-friendly options.
It's the other way around in this case.

> The seller is asking you to put in the effort to enter your payment info in order to use the "free" version of the product.

Yes, and they bear the cost of the users scared away by the extra step, so it’s sort of self limiting.

> The dark pattern is billing the card without consent from the user, or some weird implicit consent.

Yes, that’s valid to call out as a dark pattern, but the parent quoted the article as saying that requiring the credit card at all is a dark pattern or at least shouldn’t be done, so this isn’t a strawman.

There is potential use for storing the history of real estate ownership in a more robust way, as part of doing a title search as a prerequisite for a real estate transaction. But that won't get rid of the need for title insurance, which exists exactly to offset the issues and dispute around ownership and liens against real estate that put undo burden on real estate transactions. And it's probably folly to encode into law that a single "blockchain" of real estate transactions is final and authoritative without any kind of legal review, which is also why title insurance exists. It would make things more robust and perhaps faster to verify, but it doesn't get rid of the social (non-technical) issues around real estate ownership transfer, either historically or at the time of the transaction.
IIRC a key obstacle why steam engines were not used earlier despite the concept being known for at least a millenium was the requirement for quite advanced metallurgy - you can make a nifty proof of concept from copper or iron, but a useful steam engine needs to be (a) relatively high pressure and (b) large, so you can do it only if you can reliably and cheaply make large quantities of decent steel. If you can't make large quantities of steel, your steam engine doesn't work; if your steel-making process has unpredictable results, then your boiler blows up at a weak spot, and if that steel is expensive, you're better off having the same people work a literal treadmill instead of making a steam machine.

Acquisition of Chess Knowledge in AlphaZero [pdf]
Summary: an enterprise sale is typically characterized by the following attributes:

+ A number of decision-makers responsible for different aspects of the process from evaluation, through purchase, to value realization by the customer.

+ Your offering is a complex product that solves a complex problem.

+ You are co-creating value in the context of an ongoing business relationship.

+ A long sales cycle, normally at least a few months to the better part of a year.

+ The customer is as concerned with risk management as price and delivery terms.

An enterprise sale is a significant source of opportunity for startups, but it is a complex undertaking with many moving parts and many people involved. The founders must discover and diagnose the need, determine that the offering can be configured to create value for the customer, build alignment among decision-makers, explore how to work with the customer to co-create value, manage risk, and lay the groundwork for a long-term relationship.
