Yes, if you learned React you'd have a decent shelf life still.

What if you learned classic AngularJS, due to go unsupported in a month and a half? What if you threw in with ExtJS ages ago and the enterprise corp you've been using it for just downsized and outsourced your project? Maybe you were an EmberJS aficionado but can't find new gigs using it. I worked on a greenfield project in Backbone/Thorax/Mustache a number of years back but haven't seen any of those in the wild since. Maybe you love Elm but can't find any places that will hire you to use it. Ditto using Clojure on the frontend.

Picking the winner is a great trick, but my point was that if you didn't (or just the companies you worked for didn't), you may find yourself in a bit of a hole, specifically if you have a lot of other responsibilities in your life.
Let's not poo poo actual competition. If Oracle _wants_ to compete with AWS that's a pretty good thing for everyone.
In an image with very limited colors you would have long runs of the same color and it would compress well from just the run-length encoding alone.

Also, it's non-obvious that older values will be less useful. Going through the pixels in order like this doesn't preserve locality well, so older values may actually be closer to a given pixel than more recent ones.
You got brainwashed into believing this by Reddit. Back in 2017 when Bitcoin was utterly crippled in usability and scalability, the centralized forums upon which information was flowing were seized by bad actors and used to manufacture this narrative. Bitcoin was intended to be peer to peer money, not digital gold.

I'm still surprised merge conflicts show up so often. At its core, diff and diff3 haven't changed since the 1980s. Complicated, heuristic-based algorithms that don't take into account the rich metadata and semantics we can understand today.

diff3 is not

- idempotent

- semantic

- stable (formally, stability means that there exists a constant such that for small enough changes there is a guaranteed small merge)

Eliminate or substantially reduce third-party transaction guarantee fees, and at the same time, one-hundred percent of the transactions are digitally recorded.

A preponderance of big finance relies on trusted third-parties to intermediate transactions. Those third parties charge non-negligible fees to execute each and every transaction. Large value transactions can be done between untrusting parties directly, due to rigid cryptographic signing of the transaction record.
A partial direct answer that's still less free egress than almost every other free tier and/or sub $5/VPS. And as far as I can tell, the egregious pricing is still there once you're past the free limit.

I've traded Algorand and never touched BTC or Tether.

Your argument is like screaming that the Internet is full of porn and fake news and that any use of the internet (e.g. buying doilies on Etsy) is participating in that economy.

Also, it's not the case that any currency (crypto or otherwise) is derived from exchange with other currencies. It's derived from it's exchange for goods and services. If I can incentivize someone to do something with a cryptocurrency, it has value.
The big difference vs. Greece is that ~90% of all Japanese government bonds are held domestically.
I've used Oracle Cloud, and it's actually pretty nice and well-designed at least from my point of view. It gives the AWS Dashboard a run for their m̵o̵n̵e̵y̵ egress fees.

But I still don't run anything important on it or push the limits of the free tier. Oracle doesn't have a good reputation. Also "Oracle Unbreakable Linux" is literally just RHEL rebranded, but it's not a community project and they don't like to acknowledge it so it feels particularly shameless; especially since they are selling "support" for it.
It has changed. That's what makes it impossible.

I cannot recommend Mullvad enough. From past posts on this website, I think many here will agree.
Other cloud providers like GCP only just recently started to adopt IPv6. Today, you can only use IPv6 in asia-east1, asia-south1, europe-west1, and us-west2[0].

The cynic in me believes Google only did this due to the US Government's IPv6 only memorandum issued last year[1] requiring networks operate as IPv6-only.

I'm not an economist either... but the buying power of your bitcoin goes down if people demand more of it for a given product. If USD prices rise, the bitcoin price will rise too, meaning your bitcoin wealth is affected by inflation, and you're not protected from the Fed printing money.
The promise of crypto(currency) is that you buy some and then you get rich.

I'm not even trying to be super-negative here - after all, if it does become a lasting store of value, accepted as money in the long term, then early adopters will be holding something valuable. It could happen. But right now the hype is self-perpetuating.

Yes of course they'd be excited about it. It's gambling, and people really like gambling.

To be blunt, they fucking love it. Like they’ll build an entire city in the middle of an uninhabitable desert just to do it. They’ll give up their kids future for it. People making $7.25 an hour will spend hundreds of dollars a week on scratch off lottery tickets in order to participate in it.

An endless demand for new ways to gamble is the least fucking confusing cultural development to ever happen.

Put people in a prison and they’ll do it with cigarettes. Give a bunch of construction workers a lunch break and they’ll bet on which pigeon is gonna to take off first. Hand a group of people a round ball or a deck of cards and they’ll figure out how to do it.

Beanie babies, little ceramic figures, baseball cards, coins. The desire for people to speculate on synthetically created scarcity is boundless, spanning generations.

Speculation is common to every culture in every era of human history. It's an amazing use case for a new technology with billions and billions of dollars in pent-up demand.

Crypto (and NFT's) are a gambling fad. People will keep doing it until it’s banned, matures, or gets replaced by the next gambling craze.
I’ve given up on IntelliJ and java-based UI’s long ago. So disappointing.
Ah, so. Python2 is past the "pining for the fjords" stage, I should think.
I really doubt proximity to the ERCOT center has anything to do with it. The new facility isn't close enough at all to the ERCOT center to be on the same grid segment. And with a new facility like this that is in the middle of a field outside of town, the new fab will be built on its own grid segment anyway, completely separate from the rest of Taylor and the ERCOT center.

Taylor was chosen because that area (northeast of Austin, just south of Taylor) is one of the last areas near Austin that has abundant amounts of wide open fields ready to be developed. They also got a good deal on the water usage, and of course the tax breaks from Williamson County.

Alpine is a bare bones / DIY distro (like Arch); it'll look like whatever DE you install.
> Results show that females preferred partners of their own age, regardless of their own age and regardless of the level of relationship involvement. In contrast, males, regardless of their own age, desired mates for short-term mating and for sexual fantasies who were in their reproductive years. However, for long-term mates, males preferred mates who, although younger than them, were sometimes above the age of maximum fertility.

I'm not sure your study is validating that range. I feel like it's doing the opposite. I also remember statistics from dating websites where women always preferred someone their age, while men always preferred someone between 20-25, no matter their age.
From what I understand of alpine, it's commonly used for Docker images to provide a lightweight distro for your apps vs using something like ubuntu or debian which may include more than what's required.

I don't believe it's intended to be used in a desktop environment, but I could be wrong.

I find that relying on JS in all browsers, on all platforms, over a long period of time is guaranteed to cause you pain.

I have ~16 years of experience. My old PHP websites have advanced seriously, and are more reliable that my Node based ones. The tooling changes in node, the platform changes, the capabilities of the user agent (the iPhone's per tab memory !== that of a virtual browser on AWS), the restrictions of the system, the assumed tools and tool rot.

Similarly, as Angular was replaced by React by Vue by Svelte in developer mindset, and the skill set of those coming in changed, as the versions of each of those platforms became less and less compatible; I have pages in Mootools that are just dead weight. But even if I had PHP3 pages, they would be humming along with minor changes....

Not to mention the security issues the JS community faces relative to eg. PHP, and you can bet that HTMX definitely appeals to me for anything that I don't need to do in the browser.
Upskirt photos are typically done at public places.
Not really the same tier of seriousness.

While they've always sold dimmer switches at the store for the average homeowner, they're better "known" for commercial installations. Think the lighting controls and software to manage the lighting for an entire office building, corporate campus, museum, etc. The expectation in terms of reliability and scalability is a bit different.
'by a char or two', they said.
There are hundreds of fake monies used all over the world, including many countries with dual currency systems in which they use one fake money internally and one fake money externally. Bitcoin and frankly many other random altcoins are more credible than many of those hundreds of moneys.

The history of banking is replete with unsustainable arrangements involving the quest for yields deriving from speculative assets. Banking systems are continually expanding, exploding, and then expanding again. If we want to make the normal banking system competitive, it has to pay yields even though doing so means risk. The crypto explosion is best understood as a technologically enabled resumption of the usual cycle of banking despite the industrial west's attempt to suspend that cycle through extraordinary regulatory action.

> Now, wealth and growth are completely disconnected. This is, of course, behind much of the populist anger in politics today. Affordable housing in particular has become a rallying cry for millennials who can’t afford to buy homes and start families as early as a previous generation did.

I am one of those millennials that is forever priced out of the housing market. And that to a large extent has shifted my political belief away from hard left that I once used to be. Especially seeing how the local mostly leftist politicians in SF have basically helped fuel the crisis even further and basically have done nothing. And many neoliberal leftist economist and media outlets even defending the status quo monetary policy that is clearly behind this wealth divide.

To my disappointment though as much of a victim clearly as millennials and GenZ are, their political beliefs don’t acknowledge they want a change. It’s as if they expect the same group of people that are largely behind some of the bad policies causing the wealth disconnect are suddenly going to reverse course. A case in point is SF where they keep voting the same old eggheads who have virtually made it possible for the boomers to retire extremely wealthy at the expense of prices out millennials like me. If you vote for the same people expecting some sort of change will happen then spoiler alert. It won’t.
> but if all you need is syntax highlighting, you can skip over the semantic analysis.

I wish we could move toward semantics highlighting.

I will chime in with you though and agree, as a writer and teacher of parsers, it doesn’t have to be that hard. In fact, if you implement your parser as a PEG, it really doesn’t have to be much longer than the input to a parser generator like YACC. Parser combinators strongly resemble the ebnf notation, it’s almost a direct translation. That’s why parser generators are possible to write in the first place. But in my opinion they are wholly unnecessary, since true grammar itself is really all you need if you’ve designed your grammar correctly. Just by expressing the grammar you’re 90% of the way to implementing it.

We do that today because we are incentivized to acquire monopolies. Or in other words housing and other generalized assets that use a typical ownership model. If individuals can't "own" property, but instead "possess" property via a self assessed real time tax, you eliminate that gluttonous incentives that all humans have for accumulation.

With collective possession you can increase users stake in making sure that negative incentives don't exist. It's all in the game theory of realigning incentives, but before you do that you have to break down how the current system we live in at its foundational root is flawed.

My theory is that we don't understand the economic systems of the crypto economy because they aren't rooted in the same type of economics that exists in our current system. They are completely different incentive systems and are not correlated at all. We just confuse Capitalist values with crypto-economic values, thus leading to entire new schools of thought in how we organize ourselves manage systems.

> It’s a scary but essential truth to realise that normal software engineers like us are an integral part of society’s immune system against the enormous moral hazard of technology-hyped asset bubbles metastasizing into systemic risk.

Myopic and uninformed.

Pretend crypto doesn't exist and you still have a market rife with moral hazard and technology-hyped asset bubbles that metastasize into systemic risk to the point of bringing down the real economy in increasingly shorter crash cycles.

Is crypto a cause or a symptom?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgism

TL;DR: things that people produce such as labor, products, and services are not taxed at all. No payroll taxes, no sales tax, no income tax, and no capital gains tax on investments in productive activity or human-made capital.

Things that people did not produce such as land or the right to extract natural resources are taxed. For land the land value is taxed, but this does not include the value of things built on the land.

You're basically billed for the right to "own" things that existed before any of us were born. Since not much else is taxed, these taxes could be rather steep.

This strongly incentivizes efficient use of land and natural resources and discourages non-productive squatting on them. You would not see, for example, a bunch of self-storage places and gigantic sprawling car washes in Silicon Valley. The land value taxes in such an area would be far too high to justify anything but highly efficient productive uses of the land such as housing, manufacturing, offices, etc. Vertical construction would be highly incentivized in high value areas.

Basically it means that you'll have a bank account directly with the government. They'll be able to monitor every transaction you make from that account and block transactions on your account.

It'll also give the government the ability to add conditions to your money (ie. you need to spend X amount of yen / dollars this month or your money will expire and you'll lose it), or your money can only be spent at approved stores.

As a high schooler I loved the banned books list. My English teacher had a cabinet full of old copies of books they weren’t allowed to teach any more for one reason or another. She lent me The Chocolate War, Catcher in the Rye…

Before that, in elementary school, some of our books had sections blacked out for being too racy. First thing I did was head straight to the local library and read those passages specifically.

Most people on HN are rational people who look at the world in a rational way. Bitcoin and friends are not operating in a rational market, therefore we don't understand them, and most of us would probably be pretty lousy investors since we would try to make decisions rationally instead of memeing and YOLOing.

But, and this is a key point, that doesn't make us right and them wrong. It's just a different kind of market, one that I am not very good at, but it is for sure possible to make money in it. You just need to be a different kind of person. We can say our way is "better", but who are we to decide that?
See, I think you're disconnecting two issues which are inherently related.

Fraud is not going anywhere anytime soon. If you have no proposed mechanism to reconcile fraud, I'd argue there's not any true value stored.

If the proposed mechanism is "just use the existing government" then the whole house of cards in built on the back of that central authority enforcing ownership for you anyways in which case why not just use the currency that authority already sponsors and has a proven track record of enforcing?
Ok, fair, the part that I excerpted did confuse the two, but OP goes on to say:

> David at Goldman Sachs starts with 1 dollar, you each have 50% of the wealth in the "nation." David and his friends start printing themselves money

“David at Goldman Sachs” presumably refers to David Solomon, CEO of GS, and in this part of the post he and his friends are the ones printing the money.
> When there's stablecoin, you just put your dollar in stablecoin before they print the money, the dollar inflates, stablecoin goes up proportionately,

Printing fiat makes stablecoins denominated in the currency lose real value, not gain in it. (Stablecoins denominated in a different currency would gain nominal value in the printed currency, the same way direct holdings in the alternative currency would.)

So, no, to the extent easy money policy makes people rich fairly directly, holders of stablecoins denominated in the currency would not be among the beneficiaries.

That's the entire configuration. It does not need documentation that starts with a quick introduction to EBNF, the whole thing it's about as simple as you could possibly make it.

> So unordered_map(Robin-hood): Nothing. No erases, no insertions allowed during the foreach loop at all.

Yes, but this applies to any hashtable that might rehash on inseration (= most). In practice this is not a big problem. For example, you can just put the new elements / to be deleted keys on a std::vector and only insert/erase after the for-loop.

I don't see how this makes iteration itself problematic. You can still iterate over a std::unordered_map perfectly fine. Just don't erase/insert elements while iterating.

> I guess you could just have the entire for-each loop inside of a lock, but that seems a bit inefficient?

Yes, you would have to lock the whole for-loop. It's the same with any other data structures where the iterators can get invalidated on inseration/deletion, e.g. std::vector.

Even for containers where iterators are not invalidated, you have to be careful with fain-grained locks. For example, you can only increment the iterator while holding the lock!
