Part of the problem of the NFT hype is that some people DO believe this to sure degree and believe that those redistributing the NFT content are somehow attacking the NFT itself.
technical quibbling aside i enjoyed reading this personal journey

It makes me wonder if holding bitcoin instead of any number of other ways to spend cash is a bit like rooting for economic collapse, and, as the blog points out, what’s the good of being “right” in that scenario? all the money in the world with nothing to spend it on

As a fellow American, I don't know how you don't find this stressful. My wife and I have amazing insurance and we've been fighting an $1000 bill for a 5 minute visit for months.
Come to Norway instead. Much less judgemental.
I was at a Grammy luncheon a number of years ago and I somehow wound up seated with all of the entertainment attorneys for the labels/recording industry/whatever and it was a very interesting/bizarre conversation. I’ve spent much of my adult life (and even pre-adult life), speaking out and writing about the idiocy of those various campaigns to shut down P2P, DRM, etc., and then I was at this industry luncheon with some very nice people who believe the exact opposite of me. Interesting and civil discussions ensued (I was the odd-woman out, both for my position and because I didn’t drive to the Beverly Hills Hotel in a $200,000 car), but I got the sense that as misguided as I personally think they are, many of the lawyers honestly think they are doing the right thing to try to protect against so-called infringement the ways that they do. I’m sure the money is definitely part of it (again, I took an Uber to the luncheon. They had valet service for their $200,000 cars), but I don’t think that’s most of it to be honest.

It was helpful for me to meet and talk with people who have the opposite opinion and perspective of me. Not because we changed each other’s minds (my mind wasn’t changed), but because I saw that these were people who really thought they were protecting and fighting for the rights and protections of artists and creators. As I said, it didn’t change my opinion about how misguided and ultimately harmful those fights have been (especially towards the parties they want to protect), but I did at least see that not all of them are evil boogeyman who just want to get money.
No. See my comments elsewhere in this thread, but the takeaway for me is that, even just to replace pen and paper in meetings, it's not up to the task - I need to be able to refer back to those notes later, and the reMarkable does nothing to facilitate that and, by inaction, a good deal to frustrate it.
I was wondering the same thing about a net, and those plastic balls are interesting. The manual solution(s) just don't seem that efficient.

whats there to talk about? The man did a horrible thing and there is no question among anyone that he's going to spend the rest of his life in jail.

This kind of whatabloutism is absolutely ridiculous.

Georrge floyd's death drew media outrage because a POLICE officer choked out a restrained man to death using unnecessary force on camera for over 7 minutes and was going to face zero consequences for it.

amhad arbery's killers went on and lived their lives without any attempt at prosecution until the video came out 3 months later drawing significant disdain from the population.

Next time you feel like posting some bullshit "what about X who did what, why isn't the media involved?" maybe first start asking.

1. Has the person been apprehended or are the police putting in a serious effort to find said person?

2. is there anyone actually arguing or defending said person's actions?

3. is there any doubt that the offender in question is going to face LEGAL CONSEQUENCES?
I would happily trade in the touch screen on my Jeep for some nice physical controls. It displays a safety dialog every time the car starts and controls (volume!) are disabled while that dialog is up. Similarly, it switches inputs constantly, so the radio plays if my phone is not connected. Just give me a knob to select input because I always want it on Bluetooth.
I’ve never observed that having worked in several Fortune 50 companies. It is quite the opposite. Whites in US tech scene are being impartially treated and open-reverse-racism is more commonplace (witnessed it several times in hiring committees. It was quite shocking and blatant). I can imagine racism being rampant maybe 30 years ago in the tech scene.

I am quite frustrated that being colored means I get to be put on posters, literally got a photo taken of me and the diversity/inclusion HR put it up on the company website to further their agenda which I completely disagree with. It always felt condescending to me. I want to be judged by merit and not my skin color.
I haven't had a touchscreen in a car, and while I'm excited with the idea of having a fully electric car, I have to say that the thing I dread the most is touchscreens. Are touchscreens in cars mostly things like music and satnav, or are they also used for things like A/C, direction of air flow etc?
“Money incentivizes greed”

The kinds of statements that within 3 words demonstrates we speak incompatible languages. Why is economic illiteracy, so long as it bashes crypto, becoming so common on HN?

Ok, maybe saying “money causes greed” is not illiteracy but it’s at very least a non-statement. We’re supposed to read into that that greed is horrible - but again, economics 101 called and wants it’s hacker community back.
Thank you. Just pushed the code to GitHub
So you're telling me if I'm ever robbed by an ex roommate who made a copy of the key I should take a crowbar to my door?
You overestimate the amount that people “investing” in crypto actually care about what it is. If my friends are anything to go by, anyway.
Ask HN: What are some good tech deals this Black Friday and Cyber Monday?
Don't they have your data as part of the Amazon account anyway? Why does that even matter?
You can HIIT row, see Apple Fitness+ if you can stand the wellness vibe.

But if you want challenging, join the Concept2 challenges. I was doing 10k rows several times a week as a middle-of-the-pack competitor and if that doesn’t challenge you then you should go pro.

But as I mentioned in another comment, you can injure yourself on a Concept2 if you don’t cross-train. It’s not a magic device.
> Linus is making the typical bad faith argument that people use 80 char limit because of hardware limitations.

Disagreement does not mean "bad faith".

The character limit is 80 because of hardware. The argument for using 80 characters is not "use short lines because it's easier to read". It's not "use 85 characters if it increases readability and understanding". It's "80 characters is a hard limit and if you go over we're gonna wrap or truncate"

Yes. It is 80 and not another number only because of hardware and history. It has never been about readability.
I'd have someone check your rowing form - I can't really imagine how rowing could be too easy. If you're applying your legs as you should, and trying hard, it's as difficult as you want it to be
I stopped reading this review after hitting this point. The next page gesture is so simple and gestures overall are a key thing to nail down if you're trying to use a remarkable. It sounds like it just wasn't for the author but it also seems like they didn't try to learn the device or look up guides for it.

Well in Canada, zero covid was never a goal. The only goal was to keep spread low enough, so that hospitals could cope, and buy some time until vaccines came out.

How could any sane person think zero covid was possible??

Let's say you manage to vaccinate 100% of Canada. Great. Now you .. what? Close the borders forever?

And closing means no truckers, pilots entering??

And on top of that, there is always a resoviour in the wild...

The news literally makes stuff up these days. What sane government would think covid would vanish?

Quebec's current plan is to let it flow through the population now. If you aren't vaccinated, that's on you. If you are, well, we're done with lockdowns. We've done all we can.

And so kids now wear no masks on school.

Of course, no one is really puzzled, the news needs a story.
For me the breaking point was when Netflix removed the entire stargate series. That was a real wake up call for me personally and I canceled my subscription. 100+ TB later…
I have no reference for this, but I understand that a significant limitation in the news print industry would be what the Linotype machines could produce. They literally produced a Line-Of-type, cast in lead. You couldn't practically manage slugs of lead that are much longer than the typical newspaper column width, and so they ended up the width they are.

And prior to Linotype, there would have been practical limitations to the forme size that could be easily managed and quickly re-set to fix typos.

So I don't think the newspaper column width was the result of centuries of experimentation into readability. It Just Happened. (Same as the gauge in railways)
Toolchain simplicity is a key reason for why I like Go. One binary to do it all.

Not moral, practical. The majority of places that do on-call do it because it's the default.

That's the problem with on-call: it somehow took on moral undertones. And as a result it does not feel safe to speak out against it.

If on-call was widely seen as a negative (that a few people like because it gives them a sense of importance, more power to them) then there would be far fewer companies pushing for it as the default. As it stands, most people suffer silently for lack of an alternative. And the first step towards change is to make it OK to publicly say that on-call's a negative, a health hazard, and other options exist (though they may cost more).

They were concerned about the ease of editors and typesetters making revisions. You can reformat shorter lines with less effort. It also affords more opportunity to insert ads.
With an occasional detour to try to push some sort of technology that nobody actually wants.
The internet is infinitely interesting and I'm still as spellbound by it like I was 25 years ago. You just have to look beyond the FAANG websites. Most recently I have been having a lot of fun using AI image generators like https://neuralblender.com/ and grepping 4chan's /x/ archive for cool spooky stories and anecdotes. Did the same with Hacker News (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28598590). I can give a lot more examples of how to find interesting content.. Let me know if anyone would like me to do a blog post on it.
> Of the Dutch adults surveyed, 59 percent said that they were very confident of receiving high quality and safe health care, compared to only 35 percent of the American adults surveyed.

Since you were replying to a comment about Holland this seemed relevant. Don't know about a general study covering all of Europe or something.

But I guess that's where the "if you're employed by a bigcorp" part comes in. You can get better service if you pay a lot, yeah that much seems a bit obvious.
I guess they can but the point is that cryptocurrencies have had 15+ years to develop some useful application and they have nothing to show for it.
1) has tenuous relevance at best

2) The 80 or 66 char or whatever is literally a non-science driven designer rule of thumb that's actually the opposite conclusion from results of actual research into the issue (granted it's not exactly a deeply studied niche but there is research).
There's no reason why everything should happen on the same machine, hardware is relatively cheap. Don't shit where you eat; don't do your web browsing / videoconferencing / exploration of interesting new tools on the same machine from which you have privileged access to sensitive things. Virtualization is an option, but just buying an extra laptop might be more straightforward.
If you pick my lock and open my door (or any window in my house) you and I will hear a 90 dB siren and I'll be waiting with a 12 gauge in about 5 seconds after the alarm goes off. I don't understand why anyone doesn't have a basic security and motion sensor setup in their house in this day and age.
I remember when this was posted. I agree with Linus.

Most monitors have been wider than taller for many years. Yet, people insist on putting silly horizontal task bars up and down, thus making the problem even worse.

My mind is blown on an almost daily basis when some of our junior developers shares their screen with me.

Two of them consistently have:

1. horizontal task bar

2. display scaling set to 125% or worse (1080 native)

3. a terminal launched from VSCode (whaaaaaaaaaat) they leave on the bottom

That setup leaves them with a total of 30 lines of code. Literally more than 50% of their desktop remains unused most of the time. I don't want to force my opinions on them but stuff like this takes its toll and triggers my OCD. Only it's not an OCD, I just can't see shit
This is kind of a tangent, but I understand that the native title of the Arabian Nights is 'alf layla wa layla, the book of "a thousand nights and a night".

What is the "one" night in that title? Any chance wa is related to waaHid?

This articles serves several purposes.

First and foremost I need to start somewhere. Always wanted to write, but never knew where to start. I figured, this subject is as good as any.

Second, I wanted to test papyrus ever since I saw it posted here, and the experience has been quite alright so far.

Third, even though the examples are out there, I didn't come across a single article that tied together generating and validating JWT tokens using python and a method to retrieve it from a CLI. This, therefore, is also a documentation for my future self, in case I need to refer to this flow I built for myself again.

Finally, I also want community feedback, so I posting here, shamelessly, to see what you guys think. Don't hold back, if you please!
I would go further and advocate that the editor alone should do line wrapping as a viewing help. It would show up as smart and syntax aware wrapped code.

But the actual code should be unwrapped. This would also cut down on format discussions.
I also feel like the illusion of variety has been broken for me. I feel like it’s always the same kind of person who you find on any forum regardless of the topic — a power user who is on the spectrum and socially awkward and not very smart in certain areas of life. I used to come across a comment and wonder what kind of person wrote it but now I feel like I kind of know who wrote it and the internet has become a lot less mystical and useful since. The parts of the internet where non-spectrum people hang out have all the same problems of exclusion that the real world has for me. It’s all pointing to the fact that the internet hasn’t really changed anything fundamental like we were all led to believe by the hype.
The article addresses that in the section starting:

>>Therefore, once they have withdrawn their deposits, they are untouchable. This is the “nothing at stake” problem. There will inevitably come a point when a node is free to liquidate their entire stake and cash out.

And later concludes that, In order to know which is the valid staking, you have to already have a decentralized mechanism for ordering transactions, which was the problem to begin with.
There's no evidence that they actually help people that don't have adhd. it'll just make them _feel_ like they're doing better, in spite of any objective measure.
Indeed, to my knowledge, nobody ever managed to prove in a proper study that the creators actually lose money with piracy.
> I also find the social issues of the US (unequality, racism) more disturbing than the ones there are in Europe.

On the contrary, when I lived in Europe (Rome) I found it disturbing that the overt racism and inequality was not acknowledged by anyone. I got the impression Italians believed that racism only existed in America and that they themselves couldn't possibly be racist (even though moments earlier they were disparaging east European immigrants)
I'm pretty sure we are headed for a recession. People are starting to realize anxiety driven consumption is not a good way to run an economy. Most people in the developed world live in material excess so buying more "stuff" is not going to make them any happier, even the folks that are homeless are kings when compared to the people in Madagascar.
That seems to just partly explain the mechanism by which these companies get away with things.
On the note of paper feel, you might consider trying a fountain pen and smooth coated paper. The ink forms a liquid bearing and causes the nib to glide over the page, and there can be almost no friction - by comparison, the reMarkable feels extremely rough, like using a hard pencil on toothy sketchbook paper. It's not unpleasant, but an iPad would actually be a lot more like using a medium nib on a sheet from Clairefontaine or Tomoe River.

(While we're making this sort of comparison, it's also interesting to note that, as with a graphite or Apple pencil, the reMarkable stylus tip is a wearing item, while fountain pen nibs are not.)
Based on experience and experimentation, I advocate 110 characters as a hard limit (i.e., would reject a change based on line length alone) and 90-95 as a good guideline.

The rationale for the 110 is that above that you cannot avoid wrapping in a side-by-side diff on a reasonable screen+font+layout. 90 is where you should be asking yourself "is this cleaner to split across multiple lines?" and still allowing some headroom to make minor changes without needing to reformat things.

There are of course some things where it is impossible to constrain things to shorter lines (e.g., markdown tables) but those are definitely the exception.
90% of the web is broken/slow/glitchy/inaccessible. It’s an absolute scandal. Shame on you managers and devs.
I think you are exactly correct. The success of OOP thinking is actually one of the things I don't like sometimes; we are so focused on creating state machines with carefully crafted interfaces that we forget that we can have stateless functions as part of our state machines. In general, I wish we were more careful with only creating these state machines when the alternative is more complex, or when the problem domain is easily modeled by one.
I've heard Yamaha needed to put a lot of R&D work into producing these digital FM chips.

I wonder if they (or any other manufacturer) ever attempted the same with purely analogue chips. I'm aware that FM has very narrow sweet spots and probably the analogue oscillator drift would make this idea totally impractical.
Zork! ha.

Maybe go PC-retro and try the old Sierra adventure games? Teach reading AND typing!

Had the similar feeling when I visited the Paris one a few years back.

Still found it funny given the number of adds I had to filter to read a story about being ripped off, not attacking the author as much as the site.
> "Delta (the virus)" vs "Delta (the airline)" is semantic confusion and most people are quite capable of distinguishing those unless they deliberately want to be confused.

While I agree, it still boggles my mind how the Corona beer (and other Coronas, like the game SDK) have been stigmatized just by sharing the same name.
I'll preface with: Of course, the most important thing is to find something that you enjoy or at least don't mind doing.

However, with fitness, there is so much junk to sort through that even really smart people have no idea what it means to be fit or get fit.

It all depends on your goals, but for the most part you can divide it into cardio, strength, and flexibility - all of which interact with each other.

If you want good cardio, you need to increase your capacity. If you are out of shape and decide to redline your heart with multi-mile runs, you are being inefficient. Learn about the aerobic threshold and find out what yours is. Then, train steadily at that threshold to increase your capacity. Walking on an elevated treadmill or biking are the easiest ways to maintain a steady pace. Also, use a chest-strap heart monitor. When your aerobic threshold is high, then your ability to burn calories goes way up. The difference in the calories burned per hour between a conditioned individual and non-conditioned is something like 100cal vs 600cal. Do you want to be able to burn 100 cal/hour or 600?

With strength, it's all about progressive overload. Don't overcomplicate it. You can't confuse your muscles. You can't take shortcuts. Consistency and avoiding injury are how you get strong.
consult a doctor. they're probably controlled substances in your area, and people trying to get them illegally makes it all the more difficult for people that actually need them to live a healthy life.
"ancient" doesn't mean wrong. Round wheels are ancient, it doesn't mean we should switch to the square wheels.

I used to be an 80 char zealot, but since working in 100 and 120 char codebases, I've seen the light. Such line lengths make it MUCH easier to scan the code because we are able to scan that much without moving our eyes around a lot, and now it's not so cramped.

One param per line of a function call is bad for readability (unless there are more than four params).
It should be illegal to put a touchscreen in a car that the driver is intended to use.
No, probably more dumb in the "man-up" sense: running immediately after waking in below freezing weather while it's still dark out without warming up or wearing warm clothes. I felt superhuman and that feeling is addictive.

Perhaps that is why running injuries are so common ? You can't keep pushing yourself to deadlift more, for example, without it being painfully obvious your form is not right. And you just know that the person looking back in the mirror should not deadlift 315 lbs. But with running there is no obvious indication and the environmental factors keep changing. Then you're spending months stiff and in pain. You feel 20 years old one week and 90 years old the next.
Here is a listing of some TypeScript derived languages: https://github.com/orta/awesome-typescript-derived-languages

Of those, Static TypeScript has been of particular interest to me, but it seems either out of date, or the info available is.
Not too familar with Qubes, but it looks like it offers security by using virtualized domains (e.g. one for your dev environment, another for personal browsing, etc.) and the interactions between the domains are controlled. However, in the OP's case of a VSCode plugin containing malware, his entire dev domain will as a result be compromised as a result of this plugin. If he uses the same VSCode plugin in his personal domain as well, that will also get compromised.

I wonder if an approach similar to Firejail would work better, by say severely restricting what VSCode can do (e.g. what directories it can access, controlled network access, etc.).
