I work "unofficially" on Java code because the Swift code I'm officially responsible for executes Java code (via HTTP request). I'm "not licensed" to use real Java IDEs.

Visual Studio Code's Java support is not great and I do not have jump to definition. Find " name_of_function(" in files is good enough and catches a few useful cases outside Java's understanding, particularly when you have naming consistency throughout a codebase.

Code's not as good as Emacs, but it's reliability installed on nearly every developer's machine regardless of discipline or at least the subset who are willing to ask for help when they encounter problems.
You don't make semiconductors out of thin air. They're made out of inputs that we have to buy from other countries. The United States cannot possibly produce its own sufficient supply of rare earths and silicon for instance, they must be extracted where they occur naturally.

Oh thanks, that's good to know they're available.
They're really hammering away at the narrative these days. Every one of these articles i see reference one another. If this issue is so contentious as they claim every time, why is it that they can only seem to find a handful of people to reference each other? Seems like a group of people that for whatever assortment of reasons (probably their stated ones) don't like cryptocurrency and are crafting and hammering away at a narrative.

I don't disagree with a lot of what's said in the article. But there's a lot that is ignored, and a lot that isn't put into context. Yes, this entire system is designed to put financial interaction outside the purview of regulators. This is 100% true. But that's a selling point, at least to those who see it as a positive. That doesn't equate to "crime" though (although it includes crime as a subset) unless you blanked define all financial activity outside the reach of regulation as "crime", which is circular logic.

Do you have links about that situation? Purely from what was written here the "wrong words" could have claimed the aspiring fixes diabetes and is replacement for insulin. Which would kill people. I know that is unlikely to be what happened, but you dont say what actually happened.

Also, FDA does not have power to put people to jail. You really need cop or prosecutor for that.
> get rid of the toys and learn the tools

A good IDE is not a toy, it is a very powerful tool.

How do you work in a large C++ code base using only a text editor? You will certainly need a couple of plugins, e.g. for linting, definitions/implementation look up, auto complete, etc. Then what is the actual difference to an IDE?
I thought the article did a fairly good job pointing out:

- The only applications anyone is implementing on progcoins are exchanges and/or gambling. So far, dApps are a circular argument.

- Smart contracts aren't so smart. They are ticking time bombs waiting to get exploited DAO-style.

That doesn't leave a whole lot of room for utility.
I can see someone making a very powerful open source WiFi router out of this. The Pi can run passively cooled unlike most Intel or AMD CPUs. You wouldn't be doing any DPI on the network traffic without slowing things down, but this thing with some networking hardware cards could become very interesting to many people.

The cost is too high because it's a niche product, of course, but such a board would be able to replace my home router/server quite capably with a good WiFi antenna and some ethernet ports.
That's what I'm struggling to understand. Who is being creepy? Who has behaved in a creepy way? Adams or his wife? What does creepy even mean in the context of two adults forming a relationship? Why is it anyone else's business?

I don't think you can diagnose over-engineering after the fact. Unless you were in the room, or have access to written specs from a meticulously documented team, you don't understand the conditions under which the code was written.

Can you prove it in a court of law? No. But you still can often easily diagnose it. And you'll usually be correct.

For example the conditions under which https://wiki.c2.com/?SecondSystemEffect happens are well-known, and the pattern has been repeated often in the half-century since it was named. If it is a second system, and you can find complicating abstractions in it that get used exactly once in practice, then with better than 90% odds it was over-engineered. And the farther you dig, the stronger the evidence will become.

Leaving aside the dubious idea that the Federal Reserve can give their friends the ability to print money, stablecoins don't subvert any party's ability to print money if they are pegged to that money. If you can print USD, and I have a stablecoin pegged to $1 USD, you can just print $1 USD and buy my stablecoin on the open market.
I should add, if this is a path you're seriously considering, I will get you in touch with people at SAS, either in HR or in the engineering departments who can offer guidance. Samsung Austin Semiconductor has community engagement programs as well as career days for Austin-area high school students.

Samsung also recruits directly from Texas universities. I remember many Longhorn and Aggie engineers being hired straight from school every year. I don't know what your school situation is like, but I can also get you information about how that pipeline works.
This is the opposite of freedom. People own their computers, its up to them how they are used, not some gatekeeping devs.
The problem is that US needs to find responsible governments other than the ones close to China. There are not many in the world. They are poor for some reasons.

BTW when I say responsible governments I don't mean democratic, but mean they care about people's education, can keep long term policies and build good infrastructures.

great find! But is it really that bizarre that someone who finds themselves thriving in an insanely high-stress and powerful position such as leader of Samsung, is involved in dishonest power games, as well as having an interest in Spiritual experiences? One can have everything available money can buy, but inward experiences can go largely unexplored.

Can we start by talking about how modern money works in a more factually accurate way. In particular, can we stop talking about "printing money"? Printing money has no impact on the value of money. I think most people in a forum like this understand that but when we talk that way I worry that someone, somewhere doesn't understand.

Money is created when it is borrowed from a bank or banking institution. Even that is an oversimplification but it is still much more accurate than saying money is created by "printing" it because it isn't. One of the really key things to understand is that the money supply is created by government but it is also created by businesses and individuals.

I don't have a dog in this fight, but it always drives me crazy when people talk about economics in a sloppy way.
> But if I can build my app using smart contracts, then they are always available to execute when needed - just pay to write/execute. I don't need to cover hosting costs or much infrastructure beyond some web interface (which I could just put on Netlify).

So you're already using Netlify, why not take the extra step and make your entire app open source and serverless? That solves the "If my startup fails" case, and the hosting costs issue which you'd be incurring either way.
> 1000 validators is very centralized. All you have to do is bribe 2/3rds of them control the chain.

The network can be halted when 1/3rd of the nodes collude. To my knowledge this allows you to halt the network but not reorg blocks or double spend.

Nonsense. They made different tradeoffs than Ethereum and a number of innovations were made possible by those different decisions.

You're obviously allowed to feel what you feel but if you've ever seen a "good" body of work taken on the street, and a "bad" body of work taken on the street, the skill of the photographer matters, and it expresses art.

The low vs. high debate is old as time, with sculptors looking down on painters, with painters looking down on photographers.

The camera is a canvas and the photographer paints with what they put in front of the lens and when they close the shutter. Street photography takes it an extra step further and removes a ton of control over what you're photographing and leaves you creating art out of what is happening before you.
having done my own experiments with indexed pallets I suspect method #2 is responsible for most of the compression here. most photographs only have half a million distinct colors and it drops considerably as you focus in on an area. if you're willing to relax the single-pass requirement, partitioning the whole image by pallet similarly to how one encodes high-color images into multi-framed gifs can yield surprisingly good compression.
I'm in a similar boat. I could see ... something of value coming out of all this, perhaps something unexpected. But I certainly don't want to get involved with all the grifters, scammers, hucksters, confidence men, cryptobros and their various and sundry schemes. Knowing that I don't know much about the details of it... I think of "if you're playing a poker game and you look around the table and and can't tell who the sucker is, it's you" and know that I'd be the sucker, so the winning move is not to play.

Imagine that if you'd have so much funding that you'd be able to cover a km2 in a forest with camera's and microphones, some remote controlled tools and enough food to experiment with.

The only thing you then have to do is watch for a couple of interactions where one bird hands the other bird a bottle cap to exchange.

A crypto system that pays yields on monopoly money is just a glorified collection of ledgers moving fake money around, no?

> The problem we have is the destruction of the americans values...

I agree, inasmuch as the American value being destroyed here are freedom of speech and freedom of religion. The latter of which should, IMO, encompass freedom from religion. But in this case, states are censoring books that go against the values of a particular religion; much like the abortion bans. If they were Muslim, there would be a deafening uproar about Sharia Law. But since they're Christian, it's just "American values." I call bullshit.

Except that investing in Bitcoin has shown the exact opposite of high probability of failure, yet people still claim speculation.
People who don't want their image taken by a stranger often confuse strong personal preferences with ethics. But for an action to transcend individual discomfort and enter the netherworld of immorality there has to be both a strong societal consensus as well as palpable, real-world harm resulting from it.

Working from the real-world harm angle I find non-consensual, bulk surveillance to be an active threat to individuals and society. One primary reason is it's increasing purpose as a tool for those in power to exert control over those who aren't.

Conversely the potential harms from candid photography are far less concerning. There have been times when a publicized photo is subject to bad choices by the public. Even that worst case scenario illustrates that individual photographers don't compare with the countless, coordinating agencies that impact millions of lives.
Yes, of course. But I'd be surprised if the majority of churchgoers tithe 10%. My guess is that there's some Pareto principle wherein 20% of the congregation ("members" in some churches) seriously tithe and the other 80% might toss a little into the collection plate but aren't giving anywhere near 10%. Of course, I expect this varies tremendously from church to church and even from denomination to denomination.

I feel this is an overly optimistic view. There's not many situations in the last 50 years where "businesses being able to charge less" have led to them actually charging less. It reeks of Telcos telling congress how much new laws will drop their prices, then they fire half their employees and raise prices anyways.

This is a microcosm of most of my issues with crypto discussions. In a (quite naive) vacuum, the arguments sound great. If you wanted to run Earth 2.0 with crypto, have at it. It doesn't fit in alongside the existing systems and, by the time it becomes "the main system", you can be certain that those in power have modified it to have the same issues as the original system we all hated.
The null hypothesis here is that everybody likes cats.
> Is it impossible to achieve the stated benefit of being able to make quick and easy transactions and being decentralized?

Yes. A transaction is a network-scale operation. It needs to be broadcast and confirmed by at least half the network. Otherwise it wouldn't be decentralized.

As that network increases in size, the resources required for that operation increase proportionally.

"Decentralization" is a bad meme that seems to work at small scales but its adherents refuse to zoom out and accept how technically ridiculous it is at current scales (millions/billions of people).
