Isn't 'solving' international payments messing with the US govt? If you bypass the swift system then they can no longer track international transactions and more importantly enforce sanctions.
Very good performance drawing freehand strokes.
You might also want to know a few languages were you're sure to get a job, and right now, it seems that Ruby on Rails and PHP are some really safe bets, compared to Python.

Sure, Rust is _fun_ but there's little demand for it right now in the market.
That's a political problem that needs to be solved via political means. Trying to amend this by, essentially, making illegal transactions does not seem like a good use case to me.
I loved VimFX and am in the same boat - It was really the best browsing experience.

I remember being upset for months when they killed XUL.

Wish Mozilla would finally start being their old self again and create a browser that is truly customizable. Call it Firefox Pro, I would happily pay for that. But instead we get “Colorways”..
Currently I am a happy excalidraw user. They look very similar. For which uses cases tldraw is better suited?
I mean, I sometimes help my kids in very similar way. But, I find it very wrong to judge kids who were truly independent or make such projects into competition between the kids. Because the real competition is here in fact in between adults. Parent knowing that "different locations around the house to increase the probability of getting a few decent crystals" is what makes the difference. Parent who makes sure the kid takes 10 containers is what makes difference. As you said, it is not within average kid going by school education to figure it out.

> The trouble is that no one else was able or cared to do it so fast, so the deadline has been slipping for a couple weeks now, with our best crystals going to school and back a few times, getting scratches and broken bits instead of nicely growing undisturbed. A bit discouraging.

The thing is, the "no one cared" is very unlikely. Those other kids did cared. But they were doing the project as kids do - loosing attention or doing it ineffectively. Forgetting and trying re-over. Having it at bad place and thus having it grow slowly etc. And all that is part of actual doing-projects learning. It is not bad pedagogy to have kids deal with these issues and have them slowly to figure it out. It is bad to then expect the similar result as your daughters had, when the most important decision making was done by you. Or judge those kids as "dont cared".

And this is an actual issue - a kid doing the project the way that is age appropriate and in fact independent ends up labeled as not caring kid. And I think there is value in kids figuring stuff out truly independently.
Surely you should use bitmap tiles; you can either use a network server for unplanned locations or download tiles beforehand for planned ones. Orux Maps offers the option.
We use Calendly all the time (and love it) and usually present it as 'grab a time that suits you' (or words to that effect). I think that makes it sound like please choose what you'd like, rather than please fill in this form and maybe I'll speak to you. I think that also allows you to avoid the 'or just send me some times that suit you', which I try to avoid because it just ends up in several rounds of diary tennis which is exactly what Calendly solves!
Same BTW. And I started having a Docker image for each Python script that I need to run (I'm not a Python dev). Took me a while but I've mostly tamed the beast. And at least I can run the occasional script that has no alternatives.
Fullstack Serverless App with Flutter, Serverless Framework and Upstash(Redis)
They used a type of PCR to analyze nasal swabs for their prediction of severity test, so it's not as easy as doing a lateral flow test yet (that's the type of test we use as rapid Covid tests). Maybe it is not much more difficult or expensive than doing the PCR tests that we conduct for Covid though? There seem to be different types of PCR and I know little about that, so take that with a grain of salt. Maybe someone knowledgable can chime in?
You only need to have any widely trusted entity. A government entity is not always widely trusted, nor trustworthy everywhere globally.
P2P cash that cost me up to $50 to use for a single transaction isn't exactly a success. It might be great for collecting some ransom money, but is completely useless for buying some donuts. Whatever bitcoin is, a replacement for cash or its digital equivalent it is certainly not.
Not really. I still just think it is a stupid pyramid scheme.
That wasn't colonization, that was just accident. The diseases began their spread and began to destroy populations during the very early exploration phase, before any land was ever forcefully taken. For example, IIRC, the second Spanish expedition of interior North America found a dramatically diminished population from the first Spanish expedition, with neither expedition attempting to settle lands or otherwise intended to be hostile.

The claimed biological warfare incidents are 1) not well supported by evidence, but in any event 2) came much later in colonization, which was a multi-century process, BTW. Biological warfare is mostly a boogeyman, anyhow; something that in the 21st century we personally find most scary because modern people in mature industrial countries are unable to conceive of the raw, physical, individualized brutality of the actual conquests. Brutality to modern society means indiscriminate, technologically mediated, arms-length terrorism in the manner of something like biological warfare, so in the culture wars over historical narrative that's what one side uses as its sales pitch.
I agree. There's so many little use cases where a tiny FPGA would fit in perfectly but the cost of the powerful mainline competition make it a non-starter. If these can stay cheap and continue to draw as low power as they do I can see them carving out a very nice and healthy niche in the space.
If people call something "cool" - that's actually a red flag for me.
Green Fast Keto Shark Tank (Updated Price November 2021) Read This Before Buying
There are five fixings in Green Fast Keto, which are all fundamental for arriving at your ideal weight reduction objectives. Here are the fixings all together:

Beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB): BHB is an exogenous ketone that is intended to kick off the ketosis interaction. BHB floods the body with ketone bodies so your body starts to utilize these ketone bodies rather than glucose to make fuel for your body.

As noted in another comment, the resistors on the schematic are specified as size "0402". You can look at this guide [1] for information about surface-mount component size codes, it's quite exhaustive.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to quickly determine if Pine64 use metric or imperial, and the same code is used for two different sizes (!) depending on that. Nice, huh?

If the schematic is imperial (win) the component is 0.04" by 0.02" (1 mm by 0.5 mm). If the schematic is metric, it is only 0.016” by 0.008" (0.4 mm by 0.2 mm).

GOG shifted focus from that a long, long time ago. Now they're a normal storefront that mostly deals in indies and occassionally releases older games - and the quality of those older releases is rarely anything above slapping dosbox and/or dgvoodoo on it. Speaking from personal experience many older games are better preserved by a certain fitness named piracy site, let alone freaking steam. Gog distant third.
I don't know forth but it seemed more natural that way (as in postscript).
Best Tips for Tree Testing
People always seem to complain about the etymological spelling of English but I love it. I love being able to look at a word and quickly know what its likely origin language was and get an idea of its meaning.

N.B. I'm not a prescriptivist and I don't really care how you spell something as long as I can make it out. I'm just interested in languages and think it's really cool that looking at English words is like peering into history.

Fair, it makes it more difficult for learners, but I'm not sure how relevant that is for a language unless you debase languages to being simply brutal ways of conveying meaning.
How common are MCUs with mii or gmii interfaces? Certainly more mii than gmii, and at what price points? Not very common and not too cheap in my experience.
Have been using Vimium C for some time and even sponsored because I cannot imagine using Firefox without it. I love the way you can customise everything, although am not sure how that compares to other Vim-like extensions. The developer is also very responsive and helpful, providing work-arounds and quickfixes when needed.
That begs the question: why does Bitcoin remain the dominant cryptocurrency then?
Yeah, this can be done with a normal sql database too. Saving a representation of a linked list is not hard at all. Blockchains are not that special and can be made with less than 50 lines of code (that's with the ability to "mine" a block with x difficulty, but on the CPU). Add some persistence (flat file, sql, etc) and you end up with less than 200 lines of code. Then you can use that to build your ledger/currency system. What makes crypto currency systems interesting to me is the networked consensus and distributed parts. But blockchain itself is dead simple. It doesn't solve any problems for banks because they already have solutions to ensure data integrity and to survive audits.
In my experience away status is uninformative. It's often inaccurate - transitions too early, you can also send the message in the gap between afk and status transition. On the other hand when I'm at the keyboard, it doesn't mean I'm free for chat and can easily reply 10 minutes after I receive the message.
Have you never eaten with a friend and had to pay them with Venmo?
You could also do it with paypal, or even hugs.

Or Monero. It's a bit more stable since people use it as a currency more often.

You have options, which pretty much depend on what that person wants to receive.
It's not that big of a deal guys, stop the hate. It's a bit childish really
I sincerely doubt it. How many tens of "universally disliked changes" have Google made over the last fifteen years? In the end, everybody sucks them up, because outside of a few very specialized use cases, there is no alternative.
> In fact, the browser selection was based on market share, and the ordering was alphabetical, and this was documented in the agreement and in the news.

That was Microsofts proposal, people complained and it was changed to be randomized [1]. Of course Microsoft had no motivation to make that actually work, so it generally didn't[2].

It seems more like a UI shell than an a full OS.

Does this run web apps in standalone windows in it’s desktop?

I’m just not quite sure what this is.
I didn't mention it because it's not true. I am amazed you think collateralized loans are just forgiven when someone dies. Remember that these are personal loans to Bezos. If they were loans to some business entity Bezos created, then whatever payment he received from that entity would be taxable income.

The debts will need to be paid to the banks as part of the settlement process of Bezos' personal assets, which will require asset sales, and these sales will incur a tax liability and all of the above calculations will take effect.
>It is commonly understood that plants do not have the same mechanisms to experience a range of emotions (pain, happiness, sadness, etc.) as fish, birds, and other animals do.

Isn't this another form of the Meat Paradox, though? Plants have been shown to have moment to moment awareness of their surroundings, can communicate with each other and will turn away from unfavourable conditions. How can you definitively say that plants don't feel pain?
Funds don't appear on the blockchain out of nowhere. They need to be sent from another address on a PUBLIC ledger. They are ALWAYS traceable. A person who would upload illegal or pedophilic content to the blockchain would be traceable through exchanges, transactions e.t.c

That's why you don't see lots of that behavior currently. (there may be some, but nowhere near any significant amount)
I think his/her perspective, and mine, is that we don't want to merge individual commits.

My personal feeling is that I need to review each commit and then I need to review the whole PR (list of commits). If both are good then the PR can be merged but each individual commit is not OK to merge unless it's part of a PR.
I love Peertube, but I'm always concerned to see just how small the team behind it is. I'm hoping LBRY gets more adoption, just in case Peertube gets knocked off for good.
Yesterday I encouraged a sharp but inexperienced coworker to depopulate the automatic reset capacitor on an Arduino Nano. He was quite skeptical about the rework, so I went ahead and popped it off with a single iron tip to show him how. I then put the cap back on but offset so that it wouldn't get lost in case we wanted to put it back. I'm pretty sure it was 0402. I'm also pretty sure it was the right capacitor... :-)

I'd say it's actually easier to remove an 0402 than, say, a 1206. Since it's so small, both pads heat up to the point of melting whether you intended to or not, and then the surface tension takes away the component with the iron tip. No need for any specialized reworking equipment. I think 0805 is the sweet spot for easy hand assembly and rework, though.

Yeah, the browser situation sucks and it's getting worse by the day.

You know what, still a week does not pass without me mourning the death XUL...

I'm currently using Waterfox quite a bit. VimFX is still somewhat maintained[1] and works with Waterfox Current.

It should be added that this browser is owned by an adtech company called System1. But my only alternatives at this point is surfing in a straitjacket (without VimFX) or using Waterfox. Haven't really found any apparent wrongdoings by System1 yet, but I guess it's a matter of time...

Software hiring is in the dark ages, often a desperate race to the bottom for the perceived commonality of skills. A large part of that problem bias and immaturity. This means the industry must move past placating to the demands of immature candidates and set higher standards using agreed upon data points.

Examples of data points:

* Years employed in industry and/or career path.

* Average years of employment per employer.

* Score on a knowledge assessment exam, a multiple choice exam provided to all candidates to baseline compare the candidates against each other with a metric.

* Open source contributions: number of commits, pulls requests, issue contributions, projects.

* Performance against a problem scored by a computer.

The only way to defeat hiring bias is with numerical measures applied equally to all candidates. Incompetent candidates don’t want this due to poor performance tied to poor hiring prospects. Employers don’t want this out of desperation to acquire higher quantities of (under performing) candidates for less money. If candidates were scored with a number like a credit score higher performing candidates can ask for more money and employers can make better hiring decisions.
The infrastructure isn't in place to comprehensively enforce serial tracking.

It is in China, since 2013.[1] ATMs which do "cash recycling", giving out bills they took in earlier, have the hardware for it, because they have to do a detailed scan of incoming bills for counterfeits and wear anyway.

The cat and mouse game will continue for at least some decades. Game changers such as homomorphic encryption and quantum resistance are around the corner and will be used.
In the end either everything will be free and available, or we will live in a police state.
The fees of bitcoin are paid in the damage to the environment done by mining. It is vastly more expensive than traditional banking. The only difference is that it's not paid by the user directly, but by the whole of humanity.
How to make Cool Design (and what does “cool design” mean?)
Aspiration's Comprehensively Deceptive Greenwashing
>> These citations serve to point the reader to the recent works mentioned in the sentence, which may not be readily accessible to someone who doesn't actively do research in that area but is otherwise knowledgeable about numerical computing.

CS papers typically have a "Related Work" section for this. I agree with the author that the Intorduction section should be used to introduce the work to a reader who will proably not read anything else.

Actually, to be honest, I hate structured writing and I hate that research papers are always written as if they were meant to be read by 5-year olds with ADHD, but I know that the way most people read most papers is to read the abstract, skim the Introduction, browse the graphs in the Experiments section and then check the Conclusions section to see if they missed anything. I'm guilty of that too. There are way too many papers and too little time to read them all carefully. So papers end up written to be skimmed rather than read.
That sounds like a fun project.
> I wonder if they've concluded that the semiconductor squeeze will be on its way out in Q2, so this is really a PR stunt.

Q2 of what year, though? STM keeps reporting me no deliveries until Q2/2023. I had to buy $.80 chips at brokers for $35 and other silly things lately, just to keep my product in the marked. And that was just the remaining low volume of usually less than 200 pieces per broker deal. Almost the same horror with NXP. With Renesas so far I could just order another 50k pieces here and another 200k pieces there and they just kept (or rather keep) delivering. I wouldn't just call it a bold statement.
Php has developed a lot in a decade.

Lots of new good things in php7/php8. The typecasting is way better than before, but it still allows you to be more "dynamic" if you want to.
I'm the same. I used to use handbrake, but found the presets didn't work very well. I set up custom presetsz fiddled with lots of things, and still failed to always get the right subtitles or audio or something.

I've switched to ffmpeg now, with MakeMKV to do the rip. I find this works better and more reliably. It also let's me separate the ripping from the transcoding. So I can rip really fast and just queue up the transcoding.
So many good points here, best summary of the problem of no code I've read yet. Whether you write lots of code or no code, all the principles you mentioned remain i.e. testing, deployment complexity, maintainability, rollback, release strategies etc. If you tried to do all that in a no code environment it would be horrendous. If you skip it, as a non engineer might, you're courting catastrophe.

No code will often make little sense for a lot of "proper" software if you want something maintainable, extensible, safe, performant (add other engineering principles here). It's probably very useful for non devs to build tools and cobble things together, in a similar fashion to how Excel can replace certain programming tasks. Just don't build your whole system from these things.

I think it's important that people respect the limits of these, no doubt useful, tools. We should also respect us software engineers and understand why we do things in the way we do. It might seem too complex but you might be suprised how complex, potentially unsafe and limiting the alternatives can be.
The fervent defenders are either trying to convince others, or mostly themselves, that crypto will be king. Why? Well, they've put their money in it, and if they weren't convinced before they should be convinced after that. And since it's a pyramid scheme, they, consciously or not, are trying to convince others to join in that scheme so their own investment grow.

Secondly, no one likes to admit they've been foolish, and so far the value of BTC has not made fools of anyone. Well except if some people borrowed to buy at 20K and it stayed around at 2-3K for a long time. And those burned "losers" mostly stay quiet, out of embarassment.
Not knowledgeable but I do know there was a grad student (post doc?) who created their own PCR test for SARS-Cov-2 in their living room using frozen peas as their cooling medium. Obviously this guy was a specialist with access to the right materials but it goes to show that a lot is possible.
Furthermore, you might find the following four part article to be of interest - there’s plenty of other info easily googled, whether on the background history, or the specifics.

As someone actually did (re)learn PHP (last time I used PHP was PHP4) last year for a gig, I would probably say no. Don't get me wrong, it is a much better language now and Laravel is a great framework. With the two you can no doubt build fantastic applications. But I didn't feel it was 'better' in any way than anything else. With Python, Go, Rust, Elixir, TypeScript etc. I can all point to a thing they do and say "if you are solving this sort of problem, then this language is the right choice because of X, and worth learning". With PHP I just couldn't find that.
