You can't escape the contracts though.

What happens in that initial sale? The owner declares that whoever possesses the NFT owns the good? Under laws like the first sale doctrine, they can't prevent the subsequent owner passing the legal ownership seperate to the NFT so ownership of the NFT still means nothing legally.

Well how about they take a leaf out of the software industry book, and instead of selling you ownership of the thing the NFT represents, they sell you a transferrable non-revocable exclusive license that requires in its terms that transfers of the license and transfers of the NFT happen in tandem. Well now the future buyers _are_ dealing with contracts.

> That doesn’t mean you’re free of bias. If anything it means the opposite.

Maybe, but at least i know what i talk about. You observe from the outside and talk about "meme-level bad"? do you believe anything BILD and AZ writes?

> “Limux worked” and “we solved a whole ton of problems and had to implement printing dialogs, QT interfaces and more” feel like statements somewhat at odds with each other. Were all these bug fixes complete on day one or did they have to be done after the Limux switch had been made?

again, damned if you do, damned if you dont:

Linux can do something, which windows cannot || : eh, wo cares

Linux can do what Windows can: oh, they just copy windows, windows is surely better.

Windows can do, what linux cannot do (perhaps it does it in another way): linux is not ready!!!!

Linux implements stuff, features or bugfixes: linux is not ready!

Funny thing is: we often implemented requirements which were dropped, if windows could not fulfill them. NOBODY said windows is not "ready". Ready for which value?

> Obviously I’m an outside observer here but boasting that you had to do a whole ton of work including network management and that no one has done much to it since makes it sound to me like maybe Linux isn’t or wasn’t ready.

This was 5 to 15 years ago. Windows also had a lot to improve in that time. Do you say then, that Windows was also not ready?

And we not only did Bugfixes but also Improvements (the network manager stuff was one such thing).

There was a time, when Linux for public institutions was not ready. But that time is long gone. (conservatively 5 years i would say, some would say more).

I see shortcomings, but there are those also with Windows. But nobody says "Windows is not ready". And that makes me kinda angry, especially if people do not know what they are talking about with "meme-level bad" or "brutally disaster". That's just outright lying and makes people angry who poured their soul into making it work for the users.

Because we also trained users on the plattform, even with libreoffice, so we could get their feedback.
This is wonderful.

I've appreciated Nikky's work for years, but didn't know they created something like this. A "Logo" for the modern web is something that I've felt has been missing for a while.
With so much misinformation on COVID19 floating around, I feel the need to post correct-information for once.

There's a lot of good science going on in the COVID19 world. The RECOVERY Trial, conducted through 2020, discovered treatments that cut the death-rate in half or even more.

The status-quo for COVID19 treatment was established because of this trial. It was this trial that established the efficacy of Dexamethasone + REGN-COV2 monoclonal antibodies.

Science doesn't stand still. There are additional trials ongoing and continuing to try to find even better treatments for COVID19. Some of it is snake oil, some of it not. But we can at least look to the established work from 2020 and see how-and-why the current treatments are the way that they are.

You could imagine the art piece with minimal effort: no effort spent in making it.

If only there was some way to achieve this, we'd be done.
Their business model depends on operating in a way that's nearly impossible to effectively moderate, and abusive (see all the stories about what Facebook moderators have to see) to try. The only way to fix the problem is to... not operate the business that way, since it's fundamentally a bad idea, considered from that perspective. Which would effectively mean the death of the company, unless they found some totally different and similarly-profitable business model they could transition to.
I disagree, I think avatars/signatures added a lot of noise to the conversation and made it harder to follow. I like HN's approach where if you want to check someone's profile, it exists, but it requires a small amount of effort (one click).
Great work!

Do you have a link to where you can buy these types of time of flight lasers/sensors? Curious about the additional hardware cost versus sensitivity.
Yeah, pretty sure I was hearing about German cities switching every few months for the past ten years or so.
This strikes me as a very naive sort of romanticism, as someone who grew up in alternately a very safe and very dangerous locale.
Getting to a bare million with that level of saving seems possible over the last 7 years mostly because returns on stock and crypto have been quite high.
> system that leverages the time-of-flight (ToF) sensor on commodity smartphones

I think only the high end iPhones/iPad have these type of cameras right now right?

I'd also be curious about the exact angle you have to hit to get a reflection

Sure.
> @tindall honestly... mobile versions. forums just stopped being developed and then that was that

I didn't think about this, and it's a really good point. Around 2011 or so, we were at the inflexion point where blog comment sections and forums were losing audiences to social media.

It's true that many forums simply did not have a mobile theme, because they were set up by hobbyists who accidentally became webmasters. Not sure if vBulletin and phpBB saw the need for mobile themes. I remember that the biggest Liverpool FC forum online had a desktop only theme as recently as 2014.

That gap ended up being filled by an app called Tapatalk, which pulled in data from message board APIs in a native app setting. It was the dominant forum app because it supported all the big messageboard frameworks. And wouldn't you know it, it started filling the app with ads and subscription upsells. I can imagine many people abandoned the app, and maybe threw out the baby with the bath water by abandoning the forum as well.

None at all, since those "unique" assets can be copied freely because the blockchain is public.

I'm really puzzled about why aren't they publishing a low-res copy of the image, and sending the buyer of the NFT the unpublished high-res version. That way only the buyer (and the artist) would have that file, and by keeping it secret they could make it rare, albeit not necessarily valuable.
I get it, it can def be discouraging. For me, I really _want_ to know what the great problems of the day are that bitcoin/blockchain can solve (or assist in solving). I imagine many others are too. So far, from my cursory reading, I haven't seen anything that makes it click, especially when weighing off against energy costs to our planet.

Note that the author lives in Europe (Italy), where there is a robust social safety net and typical programmer salaries are about $45-60K/year. It doesn't take nearly as much to be "wealthy" relative to those conditions.

Author is basically engaging in a form of geographic arbitrage by working remote from Europe. They get to enjoy wages comparable to U.S. programmers, but get the European social safety net, and since they're not living in a big city, rural cost of living. It's not unlike U.S. tech workers who choose to live in a remote rural village, or Californians who retire to Boise at age 30, or Canadians who come to Silicon Valley to work for a FANG and found a startup and then retire to Canada after doing that for 7-10 years. (The latter is my favorite, because Canada allows citizens a step up in capital gains basis upon moving back to Canada, so you can make literally millions in Silicon Valley stock over a few years and pay zero tax on it, then enjoy the Canadian social safety net for retirement.)

build.rs is particularly useful for Rust because it is routinely used to compile C/C++ object files as a previous step, which is crucial to having solid Rust to C/C++ FFI.

It is no different from a ./configure script, or other prebuilt script. Lots of builds require these, and "nerfing" it just makes building Rust harder. Cargo is already a crippled build system that requires extensions like cargo-make to be useful. Getting rid of something so fundamentally required by modern software with no standard fallback would be a massive blow to the ecosystem.

I really am not convinced that there is anything "scary" about a build.rs file - other than that standard tools like rust-analyzer find it sane to run external code during initialization. Your language server shouldn't be coupled to the build system and require it to run!

(And yes, Cargo is a build system - it's just a bad one)

Putting all your eggs into one basket is a bad approach for pretty much anything, particularly when that basket is one that has its own monetary interests as its main motivator.

You want valid alternatives to keep the products offered competitive, and the competitors honest, as entrenched monopolies are rarely conductive to innovation and often extremely opposed to consumer interests.
Markets have been amazing the last 4 years. You can't use that short of a timeline to predict the next 40.
The phrasing matters, but in general on a command line I take it as imperative commands or queries. Statements of what should happen (not what state should become true) or queries about the state of the system. "resize" suggests that the size should be changed, the error would be if 500GB can't be allocated for the file. If it were already 500GB it amounts to a no-op (though you could signal that this is the case, it shouldn't be an error because the file is the appropriate size already).

A declarative form might be ensure-size 500G file. With that it's clearer that you expect a no-op in the case the file is already the desired size. It could be the exact same command under the hood, but the name suggests a different perspective. Specifically that no-ops are in the set of expected and desirable actions that might come from the command.
"Obviously North Koreans love North Korea, or else it wouldn't exist."

Do you seriously believe this crap? The OP didn't deserve those downvotes, you did.
I don't know why you keep responding by saying it's not a write-back cache.

1. I didn't ever call it a write-back cache and never even hinted at it operating like one

2. Write-back caching is only one of many options for write caches

Regardless of both of those points, the SLOG ABSOLUTELY will speed up writes if you have a bursty workload (like the virtual machines he's running) and sync=always enabled.

>A crucial difference is that the ZIL is limited by the available memory regardless (and tunables, by default 5 seconds worth of data), which would not be the case for a write-back cache device.

And yet that point is irrelevant to OPs question of whether or not SLOG was speeding up his writes, which it almost assuredly is doing with the amount of memory and the size of his SLOG device when he is doing sync writes.
> That sounds like a perfect way to become a closed-minded bigot, using the original definition of the word.

What I choose to read or watch is really completely orthogonal with who I choose to spend time with. I enjoy spending a significant amount of time investigating contrary points of view, and find it very valuable.

That does not mean I wish to spend the time I spend with others hanging out with people who actively hold contrary positions particularly if we do not agree on the terms of discussion. I can be respectful of those people [0], and listen to them, without making the choice to spend (optional) time with them.

If your cancelling really involved those things, then I am sorry that you had to experience this, and am glad that you've found some peace in the aftermath. An awful lot of what is called "cancelling" at the present time does not amount to the things you've described.

[0] EDIT: actually, this is dishonest. If someone does not agree with the same terms of discussion, I find it very hard to actually respect them, even if I can "be respectful" in person.

None of what is described here is revolutionary or some novel form of security when dealing with PKI and root certs. Not sure how it opens up attacks or becomes an invitation to be attacked.

I don't think it's "for good reasons". I think it's for "don't want to be found to still be using XP" reasons.
It likely is, we just can't detect it on such small scales. It would be a form of matter that interacts pretty much only via gravity, and since gravity is already 40 orders of magnitude weaker than the electromagnetic force we usually use to detect things, it's understandable that it is kinda hard to see.

Well, for example, we see a PhD now most likely getting you and adjunct job, instead of a tenured professor. So you could view that as an oversupply of "elite labor", if you will, and falling compensation for that. A university education used to guarantee you a good job, and now it's not enough for that. Again, that level of "elite" is less rewarded than it used to be.

But I like your post. If you have to try to get in, then you don't really belong. That feels right to me. So what we have is an over-population of people who feel that they "should" belong, that they "deserve" to belong, and they're fighting to mimic hard enough that they can get in the door, and finding that it wasn't good enough. One of the principle ways they're trying to mimic is "Look, I have a degree too!" And they're finding that it isn't enough. They got into the "club" (those holding degrees), and found that being in the club didn't make you elite, because too many people were now in the club. The real elite moved on to other ways of showing who is and isn't elite.
I love working.

Two different bullet points for staying there are not asserting yourself?
There's a corollary from some founder (one of the Instagram guys?):

There's really only 3 kinds of money.

There's "I don't have to worry if I'll make rent or be able to buy groceries this month" money.

There's "I don't have to think about prices or when I go out to dinner" money.

And then there's "I can take unpaid time off whenever I feel like it, and travel to where I feel like" money.

Past that, everything is just bigger numbers.

It always resonated with me, because (a) it phrased money (which doesn't really matter directly) in terms of outcomes (which do matter directly), (b) it coalesced things down into a few, very different outcome buckets, & (c) it made the observation that in terms of life outcomes, there's definitely a ceiling: unless you're looking for ways to blow money, there's a cap on how much you can reasonably spend.
Depends on if I'm thinking in an imperative or declarative programming style. ;)

Yep, sounds like he does. It's still possible that he would suggest someone getting started now not put in 10%, and that the reason he has so much is partly because of the historical growth. That is, he might have held onto this much partly due to the tax implications of selling appreciated assets. If he were starting fresh, he might not choose to put in this much.

Moderation is hard because designing communities around effective moderation is at odds with the growth and monetization goals of the major social media companies. The problem's tractable, just not while operating something that looks like Facebook or Twitter. They have to expose everyone to posts from as may people as possible as much as they can get away with it, to drive "engagement" and growth and feed their ML. Tighten up post visibility so it's not like one big free-for-all and suddenly things get much easier.
I strongly recommend Moral Mazes. It's great reading for anyone who wants to achieve some level of honesty as a manager. It also arouses the ire of dishonest or duplicitous managers, which is another useful social signal to account for.
While vendoring is somewhat common (especially for C++ header-only libraries), often dependencies are provided by the OS package manager and dynamically linked (you have to recompile if the ABI changes, and hope that the API remains more or less stable, but that's usually part of the contract of a "major version").
