This is pretty cool to me. Fully on-chain NFTs using Generative techniques.

https://www.fxhash.xyz/articles/about-fxhash

What is fxhash ?
fxhash is an open platform where artists can mint Generative Tokens which are stored on the Tezos blockchain. Generative Tokens are programs designed to produce random outputs. Once a Generative Token is enabled (when the artist decides it), anyone with a tezos wallet can mint its own unique iteration of the Generative Token. Each iteration produces a unique piece that is stored as a NFT on the tezos blockchain. The NFT are FA2 compliant, which means that they can be exchanged like any other NFT.

GT on fxhash can only be written in html/css/javascript. Ultimately, GT are documents which can be interpreted by a web browser.
Although this argument (1) seems reasonable at first, I'm not really convinced, because although it does introduce expectations for what's to come, at the same time it removes the expectations for what's not to come.

The bye-bye points are more for the lack of transparency rather than the actual decision not to support/merge this. They could have very well given a nice explanation saying something along these lines:

- Thanks for the contribution
- We don't have the resources to properly support arm64, it's not just a matter of accepting this PR but also ongoing budget allocation for supporting this platform on our products
- Here is a link to a donations page, if we get X money we can allocate resources for this feature
A service will always be a worse experience. A real human being can mod you and make time for you (this is what you pay them for). To a service, you are a number that the bare minimum is done for to ensure your money comes in.
>It also helps that the country is old enough to have developed before the automobile. Kinda hard to put the toothpaste back in the tube when you've designed entire cities around support the automobile.

I think this is a misconception for sure - the netherlands used to have much more car-oriented development but saw the issues with it and started retrofitting their built environments.

The same goes for the U.S in reverse, actually, with a lot of cities not having been designed with the car in mind and then subsequently having been demolished and retrofitted for the car. The transition is totally possible to do in both directions.
That's why I always drive my car on pavements/sidewalks. Its so much safer for me.
That is indeed what is happening which confirms the presence of this logic of incentives. It’s motorcycles which look like bicycles. On cycle paths. Killing people.

This needs to be addressed with a societal mechanism.
Nowadays there's also PunyInform, an Inform 6 library that replaces the standard library. Programming for it is very similar, but the resulting games are much smaller and faster, to work well on 8-bit computers. https://github.com/johanberntsson/PunyInform

There's currently a jam going on. Three PunyInform games have been released, and anyone can play and judge them at https://itch.io/jam/punyjam-2/entries . One of the games (Opportunity) comes with source code too, so you can see how it works, if you're interested.
Hardly, Disney now owns Pixar after the early 3D competition days, they can as easily buy another concurrent.
I don't know why it is and whether it is true or not. But I felt the same. And after several years of individual gestalt therapy and group therapy I have developed some social skills which I have been missing. Before that I tried reading books about developing social skills and they didn't help me almost at all.
Problem is that this isn't easy as there are few resources for devs to inform themselves about capabilities of input/output devices for disabled people. There is Aria for content classification, which is very heavy weight and probably not really applicable to games. Different color palettes seem to get increasingly included in games at least. Probably not every type of game can support modes for all kinds of disabilities, so some kind of capability matrix for different forms of disability might help.
Thanks for the detailed explanation, I better understand now and indeed it has no place here.
I live in Greece and our weather ranges from 40 C to -20 C. We walk to get groceries in all kinds of weather. Sure, you won't go in the middle of the day during a heat wave, but after the sun is set is not bad.

As you said, you just learn to handle the weather. Walking to the super market is a very everyday thing for us.

There are people out there who love the idea of a big pay day in a startup, inflate their expertise, lie, gaslight you about it, waste your runway and are generally toxic manipulators who will ruin everything you are trying to do because they are useless individuals with no shame.

Cofounder? Never again. Build it and get employees instead.
Hmm, I’m sort of the opposite, I check my messages when I want, including during the weekend (mostly when bored), but there’s no expectation of anyone doing that. I also have all notifications turned off. Checking messages has to be an active choice I make.

I also have zero compunctions about just flipping my laptop closed at 6. I might want to continue, but I don’t feel any obligation to.

A few people have called me on my work/personal phone after 6 for non-urgent reasons, but we’ve established that is not acceptable.
My theory is that everyone starts off with the assumption that other people work like they do and, in the vast majority of cases, this is true so learning is easy. e.g. if you care about these annoying unwritten rules yourself, then it's easy to follow them. If you're one of the people who finds this annoying, you probably also don't care when other people break them, and then you have to learn by observation alone, which is much more difficult. In machine learning terms, their models are pre-trained, to a degree, out of the box, and yours isn't. What I don't understand is why this seems to so often coexist with a mind that can learn machine learning off of Youtube.
lazygit and lazydocker - both are really great
I mean, bolt cutters can cut rebar in 30 seconds max: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0imMjR-Vqs

The type of locks you'll typically find on bikes can be cut by $30 bolt cutters in about 5 seconds, which fit in a backpack, makes barely any sound, and you can bike away after. There's virtually no defence at night, police has to accidentally catch you in the act. If someone sees you, small chance they'll try to stop you over someone else's bike, especially at night when you're armed with a bolt cutter, and when they have no way to verify your story that 'it's my bike but I lost my keys'. If they call the cops they won't come, and if they do, will definitely not be in-time. And if they are, its a petty crime without real consequence, and the person will probably continue afterwards for quite some time.

Bike theft really is just quite shitty. The best you can do is make your bike less of an interesting target. There's typically lots of bikes around, if yours isn't the most expensive model and has two locks whereas other bikes have 1 lock, your bike is likely not going to be the one the thief picks.

And if you don't lock it to a fixed object, indeed it'll be susceptible to the bike gangs that just throw 20 locked bikes into a van at night and take the time unlocking them later.

I've worked with APIs that used IDs to communicate state.

While that works, IDs are a poor abstraction to communicate possibilities.
IDs are good for structuring relations and composition (hasMany, belongsTo etc) whereas links indicate actions.

An ID says: "there is a thing somewhere". A link says "you can do somthing there". My example of "getting an invoice" is a bad one for this, because a GET is where IDs and links overlap. "There is an invoice somewhere" is almost the same as "there is an invoice there".

It becomes more apparent when creating things. No ID can communicate that a client may add a payment. Or can delete a tag. Or can move an item. Links can do that. So, I find that links are better abstractions because they cover all these cases whereas IDs cover only a subset.
It's not. I think you just need to go out more. Social skills are not improved by spending all your time indoor in front of your computer playing with the latest cool new framework, or learning about ML from youtube or grinding leetcode for that next fancy job or playing videogames or watching Netflix.

IMHO social skills are easy to pick up, and that's coming from an introvert, you just need to put yourself out there as much as possible in as many new situations as possible, even though that means you'll miss out on the latest tech developments/opportunities or that latest Netflix show.

Basically you need to constantly keep venturing out of your usual routines and comfort zones and you need to be OK with failing at a lot of those new endeavors since there's no one size fits all formula for success here. You need to find your own way and pe prepared to feel exhausted a lot.

I think tech workers are most affected by this because of the SW dev culture both in workers and in employers that have normalized this FOMO driven, "carrot dangling on a stick", need to keep up with the latest tech developments or grind leetcode or you'll face the risk of becoming outdated and be overtaken by more ambitious new-grads, or be offshored, or just miss out on the more lucrative career opportunities, which is not helped by ageism and old-tech-stack-ism discrimination when hiring, plus crazy long multi stage interview sessions, take-homes assignments and what have you, that massively eat into your free time whenever you switch jobs, so these people are most likely the ones who have spend their prime years mostly indoor in front of a screen working away on code and algos, chasing that top dream job, instead of "out-there" working with people.
I'm working mostly on HCI (human-computer-interaction) related topics and natural language, so no experience on image segmentation.

Keep trying. If you’re like me, the first 18 years will be the hardest. It will feel like trying to learn a game where the rules are continually changing. The gap between how a 12 year old communicates and how a 15 year old communicates is massive. Once you reach adulthood, the rules stabilize. This gives you a chance to catch up.

Comfort yourself in the knowledge that for most of the population, it's the other way around. We're all gifted in our own ways, and we need every "type" for a functioning society.

Plus, if things get too wild, and we're facing societal collapse, are at the brink of a robot uprising - at leas you are able to program a backdoor for the robots to ignore you. No amount of social skills will persuade a robot ;-)
The same time, it's a bit sad that people are doing this and putting this much effort into a toxic product.

I don't mind the fire stick/tv, and DNS rules but if it gets too much I just won't buy a tv and get rid of it.

I get that it's a nice piece of furniture and such, but if it's hostile, expensive and after a few years becomes worthless - why bother.

I'll fight by not purchasing a tv.
Definitely this, in fact I suspect that some larger organizations that get this right might become more competitive to smaller firms than before the pandemic, simple because meeting happy people will have their opportunities to steal focus curtailed and actual work time for people will be more clearly boxed out.
The rise and rise of the global balance sheet
The whole premise of this question is wrong, because it's not. Pretty sure a machine learning person would have an easier time learning social skills than it would be for a non-technical business person to learn the ins and outs of how a neural network works (and by that I dont mean learn how to use a pytorch api, but actually learning the theory and mathematics behind it).

There are three levels of Software Engineers:

1- Not good enough to work for a FAANG

2- Good enough to work for a FAANG

3- Too good to work for a FAANG

If you are self-taught start your own project and aim for 3.
If you have 'solved' the money problem for your personal life and seems looking for 'purpose' and 'positive feeling reward' have you considered giving time to charity/community (specificaly 'local' ones near you live) ?

I think a common lacking in those (smale scale) organisations is sometime basic event/communication/money management, with often more enthousiasm than skills.

I don't know on the USA (I assume your from here) but hackerspaces and derivatives can allow you to keep in touch with the startup world while helping a lot of enthousiast people and being emotionaly rewarded.

Of course that mean taking a standard job to live.
In Europe (dont know for USA) it can even help you land a real part time job after some time.

Who cares if TypeScript's type system is unsound if it lets you express things that you cannot express in a nominative system like Java's. I get so much more productivity out of TypeScript's type system than any other language including "serious" type systems like Haskell's.

Moreover TypeScript's type system is so powerful it actually catches a good number of bugs that Haskell would never catch, because it does control flow analysis by default. For many languages you would need to install a separate static analyser (if one even exists), having CFA as part of type checking in your editor is godlike.

Sure if you are writing software for a radiotherapy machine, don't write it in typescript! Use whatever proof assistant takes your fancy. But if bugs are not literally going to kill people, TypeScript's type system is about the best in existence.
Serious suggestion: have you tried watching YouTube videos and reading books on acquiring social skills? You did, after all, make some effort, however haphazard, to pick up ML.

How easy is it for you to make "Machine learning" into smaller subproblems? What are basic social skills. Do your methodic differs?

For me it's that I'm more likely to see my error with a topic like CS. While basic human interaction is not that manageable. It's interaction with Human A and Human B. These are distinct as Computer Science and biology.
Finding the common denominator between them takes time for me.
And don't forget that you interact with a lot of entropy. Communication is not easy.

How do you tackle these two problems ?
Because there is no right answer when it comes to social skills. It isn’t something that you can study and formulate in the same way you can an engineering problem. Even calling them skills casts them in the wrong context. On top of that, each person has to find their own solution that fits their personality, life, and friends.

We do not know you, so any concrete advice is probably misguided. But no matter your hang ups, social behavior can only be practiced with others. No amount of roleplay in your head will help, and it may hurt. You sound to still be young, go out and make a fool of yourself. Not everyone will like you, respect you, enjoy your humor, or want to even talk to you, but that doesn’t mean you cannot find someone who will. Just remember everyone else is also a person too, with their own fears, prides, interests, and concerns. They are not just dolls there to entertain you or make you feel better about yourself.

Talk to a therapist for most concrete advice.
Go's origin in plan 9 tooling carried with it a certain preference for the portable and simple over the optimised. A good way to start a language, and they've been tuning it in various ways since.
Solution: Use machine learning to learn social skills.
One aspect of learning anything is that you have to risk making mistakes.

Possibly, in your mind you view the cost of making mistakes in social situations to be much greater than the cost of making mistakes in machine learning.

Mess up in machine learning, and you just kill the process, fix the code and run it again. No one needs to know. Mess up in a social situation and every one will find out, you will be judged harshly and they will think of you as a failure and will never let you forget it.

The key to getting over this is to teach yourself that actually making mistakes in a social situation is no big deal and people are actually pretty forgiving. The only way to teach yourself this is to take that risk and find out for yourself.

Why do adults cycle so slowly there though? 12km/h is a moderate running pace.

I actually find with my ebike, I cruise more slowly than with a regular bike. An ebike is heavier with bigger tyres but the assist cuts out at 25km/h and I can't push it much faster. Whereas with my regular bike, I typically cruise at 30-35kmh. And I'm fat with the cheapest bike I could find. Plenty of people overtake me (in London).

E-bikes make accelerating and hills much easier though.
Most of people don't have problems with it at all. If you have it's possible you have some undiagnosed problems related to autism spectrum (like Asperger's Syndrome). Many of them are completely undiagnosed in childhood and results in severe difficulties when interacting with other people in adulthood. The best way would be to consult with a psychologist. Or at least read up on this and try to self-diagnose.

Russell's essay has the answer:

> The pleasures of urban populations have become mainly passive: seeing cinemas, watching football matches, listening to the radio, and so on. This results from the fact that their active energies are fully taken up with work; if they had more leisure they would again enjoy pleasures in which they took an active part.

Ask HN: Tips on Sysadmin Job
Recently I got a promotion at my job. I was working with another guy in a small company with an even smaller IT department. That guy was fired and I got the position to be the only sysadmin at the moment.

I'm kinda confused on how to manage everything, my background is with information security and it's going to be a big challenge for me because it's my first job.
