What data? We are talking about projects and those projects are useless.

The will not catch on because they are useless for real world use. The most cost efficient way to do processing or data storage is within someones datacenter.

also a great example of why commercializing research is so difficult and expensive - to get something from looking like it's barely holding together with duct tape to being a sellable product is no small feat.
I'm a long-time user of Firefox Vim add-ons, but I agree that they just don't cut it any more. The best Vim-based browsing experience is currently offered by Vieb, IMO. It even has robust window-splitting tools, just like Vim.

Management failed him. Getting slowly shut out for months, one bit of cryptic feedback from the CEO, and then fired a few months later without warning? This is how a company destroys its talent base.
This seems like a large-scale trolley problem. Colonization of the Americas represents throwing the lever from one track/timeline to another. Both timelines involve massive numbers of deaths that would occur earlier than on the other one. Both involve massive numbers of specific lives that existed which wouldn’t otherwise have.
Aren't a lot of hobbies like this? Personally I just try to enjoy what I enjoy, without worrying too much about the subset of people who might consider me 'too casual' or whatever.
Once a review is done, it can help to sit with the person to avoid an endless back & forth via whatever app's hosting your repo. In my experience developers usually just put aside 1-2 moments per day to spend on reviews, so if there's 3 back & forths that can mean the changes don't get accepted for several days. Sometimes for just a few lines of code.
You must have not worked with small non-profits with zero technical expertise and zero budget for hiring a consultant/permanent paid staff. Heroku is overcomplicated, and Docker/static sites (or the command line/running a server of any kind) might as well be alien technology. Some orgs know just that little.
How's that policy working out for you?

I don't think that making debt is such a bad thing, but it would rather be a calculated risk. In my opinion, it would be more effective to use personal loans houston https://zebrafinance.com/houston-tx for any personal financial needs if you don't need too much money, of course. I am not speaking of those retired people whose children support them with big sums of money.
> And don’t you think that the bankers and heirs wouldn’t simply agree to have the heirs pay the loans back after they inherit the assets?

OK, at this point you are just speculating wildly, right? You are inventing tax loopholes that don't exist, and when this is pointed out, more loopholes are invented which also don't exist. Point is, that's not how consumer lending, tax law, or inheritance law works. Those loans will be settled requiring asset sales at his death. If banks forgive a loan, that debt forgiveness is counted as income and is taxable.

Actually it is likely they will be wound down before his death as he will want to reduce his personal asset holdings and put them in a trust, because the inheritance taxes on all of his wealth are much stricter than any income taxes. But reducing his asset holdings will require de-leveraging because loans against equity require quite a bit of collateral.
I think clip studio pro has this functionality .. as well as clipping of the pointy ends of strokes that go over next line.
Am I the only one here who remembers MS Access? It was a great no-code/low code product that created silos of information in many organizations and it was a real PITA to transfer it to other technologies.
The advantage in MS Access was that it was part of the MS ecosystem and used VBA which is well documented. What will happen when you'll want to transfer something you've made in today no-code solutions to another platform?
Seems to be my understanding as well.
Same with WordPress. You install it (or have it installed) once, and then never think about what language it's written in.
Some of the statements in this article are just not true. The post seems to get frequent edits and always looks new/recent when I visit it, though I’ve seen and rebutted it several times over the last years. Yet, apparently nobody made the effort to verify the claims with more recent analyses.

A real shame.
Hear hear, the shortcut stealing is so annoying. Github for example does this; Ctrl-k is some search within Github instead of focusing the search bar in Firefox.

Then we have this option to disable shortcuts in sites which fixes this, but that also disables all shortcuts of the Vimium extension...I want to use an extension like Vimium so badly and its almost there but these little things make it that in the end the whole extension is unusable.
It wasn't a particularly likely exploitation route... The user had to already be double-clicking files they'd downloaded from a malicious webpage. At that point, it might as well have been an .exe file.

And after all that, all it can do is run a search query. It can't leak all your Gmail emails or exploit the local machine.
I think these use-cases are a pipe dream. Platforms tend to build walled gardens instead of opening up. There is no reason to believe that NFTs will solve what could be solved by open data protocols long ago. A platform will only implement features if they are profitable. That is why CSGO lootboxes work as a closed system. If CSGO lootbox was an nft and it was recognized by let's say Overwatch game that would mean a some sort of business partnership between two games would have to be established. There is no other reason why Overwatch would implement and maintain features that would promote competitor games. RSS was also a nice idea, but it was not well aligned with individual private company interests and that is why it failed to be globally adopted.
I do this as well with a mayflash sensor bar. Dolphin also works for rock band and guitar hero which has been pretty fun.
There is a counter-signaling effect. The people who are so good that they do not need a certification to prove themselves, do not get one.

So getting one is a signal that you have something to prove.

That said, it's good for juniors who really do have something to prove.

And consultancies like to show lists of certifications of their employees.

Bitcoin never had $50 transaction fees, I don't know what you're talking about. The fee right now is ~$1. For small purchases you can use Lightning Network and the transaction fee would be fraction of a cent.
Do you write that site in Go?

Honestly if all I needed was a marketing site and a place to host my documentation, I would 'write' it in something like Squarespace.
Red flag just means that you take a close and critical look - not that you automatically dismiss. And those "peers" are the people on the internet - f.x. blog authors.
Spark seems like it will be good, but always disappoints.

I doubt know much about spark, so I may get this wrong, but I feel that they need to greatly improve both:
1) the automatic configuration of single node systems
2) the changing of config throughout the processing

The fact that I don't even really know if this is the problem however is the real problem.
I get that setting stuff up for a huge network of computers may be challenging, but standard defaults to use all processors on a single machine should be automatic.

Spark pisses me off that the defaults for a 1TB RAM, 20 core machine as a single node can't handle reading a 20GB parquet file with one line.
And further, checking substrings can throw OOM errors in the next step without adjusting the config of worker memory, etc.

Worst of all, a 40 MB (!) file after filtering and processing can take like 10 minutes to save because of all the parallelism config. It's off course instantaneous on pandas.
They really need to fix the experience for single machines (e.g. just like a small 18 core, 512 GB ram system), so that people can write packages that work for anyone, but with a small yaml flag, it can be sent to a cluster.
I think the biggest potential use for NFTs would be the transfer of games/movies/books between services and users, e.g. buy a movie on Amazon Prime and than watch it inside Netflix or sell your used digital movies to somebody else.

The reason I could see this working is because being allowed to sell your used goods, even digital ones, is already the law in many countries. But so far it has just been utterly impractical. NFTs provide the framework in which this could work. It would also be a good way to break up monopolies, as it would make switching between services much easier and companies would have to compete on the actual services they offer, instead of just relying on the lock-in to keep the competition away.

Now getting companies to join in on NFT-based license management ain't going to be easy. But due to there already being laws that regulate the sale of used copies, there might be a way to force them to.

Epic Games is currently having a lot of lawsuits around App stores and is talking about having an universal app store that works across different platforms. Maybe something will grow out of that.
One real world example: The pebble time used a small FPGA to act as a display controller for their custom ePaper-like color LCD display.

Allowed them to interface with the non-standard display on a cheap off the shelf microcontroller, without having to waste power bitbanging. As a bonus, the bitstream also included the startup splash screen which would show instantly, before the cpu even got around to initializing the display controller.

I think that comes back to “the people with guns don’t have to care what the blockchain says” - and places without a widely trusted entity are likely to have the people with the guns.
If you don't control miners you have to do something even harder:

You would need to control or force 100% of exchanges, 100% of merchants, in fact 100% of all participants in the Bitcoin network to reject tainted coins. See how this can't work?

The tainted coins remain usable everywhere and anywhere that doesn't track tainted coins. The owner of such coins only has to find a SINGLE such party to be able to launder the coins.

And then what? The poor shmuck who wasn't aware they received tainted coins, eg. an online store in Oceania, would get scolded by The Tainted Coins Authority who would maybe decide, after investigation, he was a victim, and would "untaint" the coins.

Multiply these incidents by a thousand per day. Unworkable.

Who funds all this effort?

And who actually would be "The Tainted Coins Authority"? It sounds just like a centralized thing that pretty much all Bitcoin exchanges & participants are against.
It's not that hard to get deplatformed, but yes, I can see your point. From an operational ease of use perspective they are strictly better than PHP, at the expense of trusting the providers to do the right thing.
Indeed. I greatly enjoyed the recent Jeopardy category, "BOOK TITLES EN FRANCAIS". Essentially, "What is the English name of the novel when given the French title?" I aced it. Can I speak French? Hardly. Has enough Latin, Spanish, French, Italian, and other bits of Romantic verbiage seeped into my brain seemingly via osmosis over the course of my 3.5 decades to allow me to read basic French? Surprisingly, even to me, the answer is yes.
I highly recommend McWhorter's Our Magnificent Bastard Tongue.
I got into real software development by writing a inventory management tool using MS Access back in the day.

It worked great! The application even looked almost like a normal Windows app. I wrote all of it by myself without knowing much coding (though I did write lots of VBA).

> I don't really understand the reasons for using PHP outside of that people are already familiar with it and like working with it or want to find jobs in that area.

I look at it this way sometimes: there are the interpreted languages, the VM-based languages and then systems languages.

PHP is a good option in the "interpreted" languages category, if your problem domain is web-based, as it includes a lot of built in functionality for web-based problems. It's also open-source, reasonably performant, has an improved type system, has a C-like syntax and enjoys features inherent to a scripting language e.g. fast startup time, so would be a good option for lambdas.

Finally, one of the features that has been unreasonably good about PHP is the shared-nothing request model, which makes running a website on PHP a stable experience, in an imperfect world of weird state issues and libraries that might sometimes have a bug that leaks memory.

There are also other options in the "interpreted" category which I would fully expect people to also look into, however that's not to say PHP isn't a good contender for this space, given learning time is a limited resource.

However I would expect people to know a VM-based language and a systems-based language (or at least a bit of one) in addition.
Some sibling comments argue that the USA is a religion in the same sense, which is a nice thought experiment and a fair comparison.

However, I think it's incumbent on us compare bitcoin as a religion to the prevailing mode of social organization (or religion, as it were) where money is concerned:

The Rule of Law

and it's missionary arm

International Trade Relations

Except for this, whatever one realizes from bitcoin holdings (read: exchange ledger holdings for legal tender) is just numbers on paper.

I just don't see how bitcoin can fulfill any of it's purported roles (asset, currency, value-store) outside the rule of law, and yet flouting the established legal ways of settling transactions, asserting ownership and saving for the future were all part of the elevator pitch.

This begs the question: What effect will bitcoin have on the rule of law? I fear that, on net, it may serve to undermine our legal, liberal traditions by antagonizing proponents to the regular economy and pursuant democratic processes for improving its shortcomings.

More directly, the unregulated nature of the bitcoin economy leaves affected societies knee-capped in managing externalities and second order effects right where the incentives are the most perverse (on the ledger), forcing heavy-handed and perhaps illiberal responses from regulators. Success on it's own terms will spell bitcoins demise so long as belief in the rule of law remains stronger than in crypto-utopia (I will take that bet).
It also doesn't appear to do anything; the menu just sits there after you select an item.

In fact, it really doesn't do anything if nothing is selected on the canvas. This is not intuitive; you expect it to copy the drawing to the clipboard.

If something is selected, the copy works, but the menu still sits there.

Chances are any form of travel commonly taken generates more
CO2 - not just delivery drivers.

It is a seriously weird how common rhetoric to pretend only tech companies entering into a consumer space generate CO2 at all - as seen with Amazon and food delivery companies.

Really the food isn't having a premium attached to it - it is actually being subsidized by investors who expect to make up their losses with increased volume. It would be even more expensive with a sustainable business model.
Why doesn't it mention the main reason people use Bitcoin: drugs?!

Hydra, Russian drug marketplace, is the single most popular destination of Bitcoin across the whole network. And there's a whole generation of drug users who've never saw any other way of buying drugs at all.

It's weird, the post and comments here are like intentionally blind to the whole thing.
Yeah it took my computer 10 minutes to save a 40 MB file on Spark today. Instantaneous on pandas.
ISBN = International Standard Book Number

DOI does resemble ISBN, but I can find book info via ISBN without relying on the publisher to maintain a database.

(via Google or ISBN.nu or maybe even the Library of Congress)

ISBN is indeed assigned by the publisher, who has been granted an ISBN prefix by the ISBN Fairy. That's same as DOI.

But DOI feels more like Amazon's book numbering system, their ASIN. That relies on an opaque entity which may well lose track of any particular item, for their own reasons... though ASIN has not been promoted as a standard index.
Well, I will try. First, I was commenting on my interpretation of the parent comment. Identify theft, and protecting savings and retirement accounts.

Be inquisitive and aware. I think you have this covered by reading hacker news and having an interest in the subject. I've enjoyed reading Slashdot (while it was good) before switching to hacker news, but it's also been a vital ongoing education for me. Comments often having more value than the original article. Being knowledgeable of security risks and common exploits helps prevent falling victim to them.

Good read on how someone lost their account.

Steps for securing accounts.
Confirm that you are notified of email address changes.
Confirm that you are notified of any transactions on the account.
Setting up a canary if possible. I set up an email alert on a common event. So, I basically I get an email from the company daily, and this confirms that my email address has not been changed. If you are certain you will be contacted if your email address changes then this is not necessary as the email change notification acts as the warning.
Have email and phone of account representative that you can contact if there is a problem with the account.

That should be all that is necessary.
Now, the day comes, someone has changed your email address. Maybe they even did some transactions. Stay calm, stay professional. Contact your account representative and notify them of the problem. Be able to identify yourself, call from a phone number associated with the account (or previously associated). Be able to answer security questions. Account representative should be able to freeze the account and resolve any issues.
If you're satisfied with the phone call, great. If you're in anyway nervous about the resolution, then create a paper trail, send a letter that documents the issue and your attempts to resolve it.

A quick disclaimer, I'm not an expert. Adjust anything to fit your own needs.
The Settings have several checkboxes to switch of (or on):

* Tips and News from Mozilla and Firefox
* Recommendations while surfing
* Recommend addons while surfing

I'm not entirely sure what you saw that made you angry, but I'm pretty sure you can switch them off rather than abandon the entire browser.

That goes for a lot of Firefox hate, I find: quite often people are ranting online about some new or removed feature, which they can dis- or enable easily in the settings. Or -a tad harder- in about:config. Or even a tad harder, with an addon.

That makes me think those ranters don't really want their problem solved, but just want to vent some anger about X changing something that they are emotionally not ready to see changed.
It's available in Brave too
Quite a lot of sites break in Pale Moon. Waterfox Current works just as well as Firefox.
The value of USD is underpinned via demand manufactured through taxes. Crypto has no equivalent of taxes so it is almost entirely reliant upon perception. This is partly why HODLers are so aggressive in defending the perception. It's possible to literally "talk" their wealth into worthlessness.

There are countries that use USD but with the exception of ecuador (where you pay taxes in USD) i cant think of one that uses it exclusively.
I don't think this "ban" is due to elements of risk financially speaking, is something related to the religion, because for muslim also is not permit gambling, so the cryptos are assimilated to gambling.
+1

It's striking that although there's a lack of meaningful identities to adopt, the number of shallow identities to choose from is mushrooming. Pursuits that used to be "interests" or "hobbies" (gaming, fandoms, sexual preferences) are converting into identities. What's concerning is that people will aggressively defend identities and turn them into causes, not something we need more of right now.
You may be well right here, but it seems like there is significant difference what everyone is considering as "actual proof", hence definition of what is misinformation and what's not becomes very vague.
The problem still remains of how do you get crypto if all you have is near-worthless paper. Who would trade it to you? How much crypto is actually "produced" internally? International traders wouldn't want your shitty fiat.

Wouldn't it make more sense to use fiat from elsewhere like EUR or USD? There's probably already a decent stream of it into the country (from exporters and remote workers) so exchange could be done internally, lessening the above problem. Its value is far more stable than any crypto, it can actually be used in foreign trade without lossy conversions, it's just as easy to use, you can get bank accounts, etc.
I dunno, I can imagine there would be a market for renting out bonsai trees to either offices (remember offices? Those were the days!) or homes. I mean it'd be a premium service, and you'd have to set up warranties and deposits and the like, but if you can have someone come over once a week or month or however often it needs maintenance (probably less frequently with an automatic watering system), it could be interesting.

Note: This isn't a new concept per se, rental plants are a staple of many offices in the Netherlands. They're usually low maintenance, with someone passing by once a month for watering and other maintenance at the most.
