I have to disagree with you about Web3 (Cryptocurrencies, NFT's, Blockchains, that whole space), I think this is the next frontier of the internet and it's an incredibly exciting time. NFT's and Crypocurrencies are just one of the earliest implementations of this new technology.

The first implementation of NFT's is for artwork but that's just one implementation. When you step back and look at the actual technology, it's introduced a paradigm shift for how we think of objects on the internet. Before NFT's, everything on the internet was fungible, if it existed on the internet, you could copy it. Sure there are things like DRM, but that is just an abstraction on top of a fungible thing that tries to make that thing non-fungible.

I don't know where the technology will take us, or what it will look like in 20, 30 or 40 years, but when you think about the idea that everything up until now on the internet has been copyable and we are just starting to figure out how to actually give a digital thing ownership, that will change how we look at just about everything on the internet, from DRM to authentication and many other aspects. I think when I'm your age (mid 20's now), NFT's will be everywhere and "NFT Artwork" will be looked back on as the very first implementation of the technology, and likely with many jokes about how bad it all was.

> That said, I don't believe that racism/social issues are worse in the US than Spain

My current theory is that the difference between Europe and the US right now is that discrimination is about the same but that in the US racism is openly discussed and criticized. This leads to an illusion that racism is worse in the US because we hear about it more. In this theory Europe like the US in the 60s in which racism was prevalent but sort of more hidden in the dominant white public consciousness.

I recently bought some hardware which came with license for software ( vst plug-ins).

After registering the hardware, then making an account with the third party who provides the software, I was able to download a demo version which I should then have been able to unlock into a full version using the serial number and license file provided to me...but this was not the case.

After about an hour of tinkering, restarting, and googling, I decided to try and pirate a copy of the software that I was entitled to the full working version of.

Took about two minutes to download and have it running.
Putting a touchpad on top of the dial for OCR is kinda ingenius and works rather nicely.

You seem to misunderstand the threat model of the average Linux device. Linux only becomes as vulnerable as Windows when you use it like Windows, and for the vast majority of use cases that is certainly not how it's treated. The average Linux device is either an Android phone with a completely different, sandbox and permission-based threat model, or a purpose-built machine that runs a handful of off-the-shelf software that can be assumed as reasonably secure. As such, the majority of exploits on Linux simply stem from misconfiguration. Luckily for attackers, the learning curve of a modern Unix machine is fairly steep, so they can count on a reasonable degree of oblivious behavior, such as not locking down your crontab to specific users/cgroups.

Windows is insecure because it's "shopping spree" method of software management is inherently unsafe. At least desktop Linux enforces integrity protection when you're downloading software from your package manager, and gives you sandboxing options (albeit not very good ones) to further mitigate security concerns. Failing that, it gives people the option of using ludicrously secure systems like Tails, Whonix and Qubes, which would really be impossible with how Windows is set up.
I'm a city person, so I'm currently eyeing Amsterdam.

It's not exactly cheap, but still a lot better than the Bay, plus it has a lot of the things I'm looking for - a working transportation system, social cohesion and a generally socially liberal attitude (this was the one thing the Bay Area does better than a lot of Europe!)
This is certainly subjective. I agree that 80 characters are often too constraining, but significantly more than 100 characters is already difficult to scan for me. I find a limit of 120 to be too much; around 100 is the sweet spot.
BMW has always had the dial as the primary input on iDrive, the touchscreen is an afterthought.

Even before the supply chain shock there were models that had near identical iDrive interfaces with a mix of touchscreen/no-touchscreen based on model year and LCI updates

Small creators aren't destroyed by piracy, because people who have money generally want to support artists that they like when they feel like that support will actually make a difference to that artist's livelihood, and will allow the artist to keep creating. A perfect example of this is Stardew Valley. I know people who pirate the vast majority of the things they consume, but have purchased multiple copies of that game so they could give it to friends.
Is there a good solution for getting good graphics performance with VMs, aside from using QubesOS and its special shared-memory thing[1]?

Plain X11 is obviously out of the running, as that gives clients far too much access. Apparently[2] Xpra or xephyr can help here, but to what extent and how does it affect performance?

Wayland seems to use both sockets and shared memory somehow. Can that work with a VM or container? How? Is there another solution? (Pipewire?)

VNC works but doesn't perform well. SPICE might be slightly better?

Imagination is such a weird function. I've dreamed that I'm reading a book, and the letters are clear, the words readable, but the text barely made any sense.
Most of what I wrote is not about lock manipulation.
Depending on the tax bracket and the state, they might or might not be.

At the top tax bracket in NYC or CA, you have iirc 35% federal + 13% state so almost 50%, and that’s not all of it (there’s payroll tax, social security etc).

Products in the US are cheap, but services are expensive, and healthcare is tied to your employer.

My impression is that if you’re young, healthy and without children, the US is much cheaper.

But e.g. putting a kid through college is $200k in the US vs free in the EU.

We had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Manohar at a CIRCT weekly discussion session earlier this year. He presented much more recent work if anyone is interested. The talk and discussion was recorded here: https://sifive.zoom.us/rec/play/Bg99_niHh9OG_8uE_nhaz6otxvA0...

EDIT: talk begins around 7 minutes.
> Another positive side of the US is that there seems to be more opportunities, particularly if you are white or Asian and work in tech.

Excuse me? If there’s anything I’ve learned in about two months of applying is that no company wants yet another white, male engineer.
Higher friction at the interface between tool and surface makes for easier control at the cost of requiring more force to produce a given result. That's why your hand and wrist get sore so quickly.

With a fountain pen or (presumably) an iPad with no screen protector, you have no choice but to learn to control the tool without that excess force - force which will eventually destroy a pen nib, and in both cases will ruin your lines because there's no friction to damp it. Learning not to overcontrol does take a little while, but pays off both in work that's neater and more skillful, and in being able to work much longer before aches force a pause.

(With the reMarkable, too, there's a benefit in that your stylus tips will last longer, and you'll get more nuance out of the pressure sensitivity with tools that make use of it.)
Netnewawire looks great! Any similar recommendations for Android ?
yes, but using fewer horizontal pixels.
If you have 30 billion, and the motivation, then there are more entertaining ways of making the world burn than hacking somebody else's Ponzi scheme.
> Pen, paper & scanner

Yeah, tough to beat. I keep on looking at iPad/Remarkable/etc. and keep coming back to fountain pens and paper.

More often than not I’m just working through a problem and the distilled version ends up in code; for documentation I dictate with text-to-speech. When I need to, I’ve got a scanner with ADF.

The real estate is as big as whatever surface I’m working on. No lag. No distractions. Minimal cost. I can color code with different inks. Slightly annoying to travel with but as long as I fill up my pens (100% with no air bubbles before flying), it works fine.
Regardless of Monero's technicals, new upcoming updates to BTC will infuse with privacy, therefore making Monero et al redundant.

BTC is also getting smart contracts soon, which makes ETH redudant as well, but it will take a while before it catches up in terms of possible complexity of the contracts.
lmfao. Badass.
A docstring can be used instead of making a many-words sentence-long name.

IDE can show it automatically when you focus on the name in the source code.
Developing PoS systems for 8 years, the research is completely dated on both old Bitcoin-like PoS and modern PoS.

That, and the author has a wrong understanding of the Nothing at Stake problem. At the time, the argument was there was nothing stopping someone from staking on multiple forks to hedge their bet on the dominate chain, giving them nothing at stake on the forked branches since the get equal ownership on each chain.

Mind you, Nakamoto consensus is pretty awful and completely ignored these days. Why do you believe that nodes flagged for support of protocols and miners with dominate hashrate LOST the big block debate? Because of the nodes, and community consensus.
> Unfortunately, when people start needing a substance just to feel normal, that is the definition of an addiction.

Disagree. What is 'normal'?

A better definition for addiction is the brain no longer produces the neurotransmitter without the presence of the drug (or is doing so at a highly diminished rate). There's no evidence that such occurs with the amounts prescribed for adhd.

For that matter, people needing an external source of a substance to feel normal is unavoidably part of being an organism. We need water, or we wont feel normal. We need vitamins -- and plenty of people have vitamin deficiencies, are they addicted to said vitamins?
You did an internship in the US after graduating and stay there?
Ohhhh, I think I found the issue with a ring buffer implementation. Would edit my post if I was in the edit window.

resize() doesn't invalidate existing references in std::deque.
I love the scrolling steering wheel control, it's wonderfully tactile and easy to operate while you're driving. That combined with the HUD makes going to other cars painful when it comes to basic input stuff
It's kind of funny how the man opens the narrative with "I can't write"

Like okay you tried something for note taking but you can't write.

He mentions the OS being skimpy or something. It views e-pub and takes notes. Should be a remote for the desktop, probably isn't. Should have like a per-observation history for drawing apps to work with, and probably doesn't. It's okay. It's how it is.
Torrenting + crossing a border… Not a good idea. Even having “photos for personal use” while crossing the boarder isn’t a good idea. I’m so afraid of TSA…
It's easy to pick on the weirdness of french numbers, but honestly "quatre-vingt" ends up just being a word like "eighty" in its own right. No French speaker is multiplying 20s in their head.

Probably the only true weirdness is the 70s and 90s because they use the teen words like douze and treize, but that's honestly where the weirdness ends, and larger numbers follow very consistent rules.
This is getting ridiculous. Just because OneDrive is pre-installed does not mean you are forced to use it or are blocked from using an alternative service.

What's next, calculator apps lobbying for Microsoft to be banned from shipping a calculator with Windows? Drawing apps lobbying for Paint to be banned? Windows shouldn't be allowed to ship with decompression support so WinZip can compete?

Can we not recognize there are legitimate reasons to bundle helpful utilities with an operating system and that banning OS manufacturers from including them might actually lead to a worse experience for most users?

Mazda has been doing the reasonable thing in this area for a while*. Recent models don't have touch screens and require you to use the (funnily enough, BMW i-Drive style) control knob for radio and CarPlay. Even their most recent model, the CX-50, has a full array of manual knobs and controls.[1]

* With the sad exception of their first EV, the MX-30, which puts climate controls on a touch screen[2]. The upper display is still controlled by the knob, though. Weird choice.

In general these days I have mixed feelings about piracy, mostly because a lot of people don't want to pay because "everything is very commercial and they only want money", yet a lot of the pirated content are incredibly commercial mainstream things (e.g. blockbusters). This leads me to the positive aspect of it: I recently remembered an old Canadian movie from my childhood, and wanted to watch it with my son, but despite so many streaming services, tough luck finding it legally. I bet I could find it within minutes on torrent.

So I would be happy if we were at least able to legally download things you can't really find "officially" because too few people care and nobody sells it.
The free market works the other way too though. If lab techs were in high demand (as they are), and your friend's employer was demanding an unreasonable schedule, she'd be free to jump ship to a better job. Right now software engineers have that kind of market power, so why not use it? If tomorrow the market decides we are overpaid, we'll either accept it or change jobs like your friend did. What I don't get is not using the power the free market gives you because?...

I mean most of these are software problems. It is built on a Cortex A7, released in 2011, the same SoC being used in "original" Raspberry Pi 2. Even if the remarkable team had the time to develop or adopt open source solution they will still need their hardware to keep up.

And they had to lower the price to $299 already because of the volume they were selling at $399 simply wont make it.

This just shows the bar of today's consumers. If they had sold at least a million unit a year they could easily have further lower the price by another $100 while working on a much improved R3 with better processor ( not that I am aware of there is one... all the NXP SoC Solution are quite under powered ).

Last time I checked they were at least profitable. So I hope they keep working on it.

Consumer Electronics are hard. Very Hard.
Highly unlikely. SNARKs have parameters that determine the probability of validating an incorrect proof and as the volume of transactions grows the probability that a node will accept an incorrect proof does as well. So as the network and transaction volumes grows the size of the proofs will also need to increase to remain within the tolerance level required to avoid validating incorrect proofs.
I'm less concerned with wasting resources (which is highly subjective), than with ecological and systemic harms. I don't care whether a terawatt is "wasted" on pointless SHA256 hashes, or calculating triangles for Yet Another Marvel Movie, so long as the externality is being paid for [0].

AFAIR, not an option for RB.
I mean if you would rather have paid you could have left the money to the author and pirate the mp3 anyway.
My personal guide boils
down to this:

100 soft/best effort limit, 120 hard limit (with exceptions), 150 absolute limit (rarely used), 72 limit for docs/comments.

Auto-formatters usually set to 120.

More than 120 does come up, but very rarely - e.g. long URLs in documentation.

We were there a few years back, and I saw someone with a T-Shirt that proclaimed, in large letters:

Most expensive day ever

Looked closely, and to my (lack of) surprise, it was an official Disney product.
No, international undergradautes don't really gets internships due to the lack of visas, but it meant that my contact details were in their database when they decided to look for new people that had the right keywords in their resume text...
Just recently went to Disney land myself. We did the tour hopper on a day when California land closed early for a Halloween event, unfortunately we didn’t book well enough in advance to get tickets for the event, but that’s just bad planning.

Anyways, the trip was amazing and magical as ever, there was no mysterious lack of black people, OPs experience is completely foreign to my own. The fast track wasn’t there, and we too looked puzzled at a group going through anyway until we realized they where accompanying a disabled guest. I don’t know if they also have some VIP thing, but I don’t mind waiting longer so someone in a wheelchair and their friends can have a nicer visit to the park.

We knew we wouldn’t be there at 7am, so we planned on being ready to join the RoTR virtual line, instead of being in a ride when it opened, and we got a spot, amazing ride, though I’m puzzled why after a virtual line we still had to stand in a real line for 1 hour, they could just call in fewer groups at a time. The ride was still worth it all though, absolutely amazing, I would recommend it to anyone even with the 1 hour line.

Cost wise, yes Disneyland is expensive, but as a european who also has to book expensive flights on top, I still think it’s worth it.
Piracy was cool when I was a college student with barely enough money to buy McDonalds, nowadays however I believe in paying for people’s work. It just seems fair. I don’t work for free and I don’t expect others to either.

And yes, this includes publishers and content providers, they’re providing something of value too.
Disk speed on the MacBook Pro 2021's are ~7-8GB/s on the M1 Pro / Max so those are still faster which improves my ability to swap out even large amounts of data above 64GB.

PoS is not more quantum-resistant, because of the situation with Shor's algorithm, and that a key compromise would be much more damaging.

It might be, in the future, if you replaced the keys, but it isn't now. Words mean things, and it really is important to use them correctly.

(Also, wouldn't the network respond by just raising the difficulty, miners respond by buying quantum computers, and the world to spin as usual?)
Since we're talking internal experience here, I have no idea what your distinction is between visualization and a delusion of visualization. Fwiw, even though I don't think you'll really believe me given your other comments, visualization of actual real life stuff for me is similar seeing stuff in the corner of your eye where you're brain kind of automatically fills things in but in a way that isn't very legible. As long as you don't have tunnel vision, surely you can relate to having seen something without knowing the details?

My actual complaint runs deeper though. My experience of visualizing can't be a delusion because I'm describing my internal experience. You can claim I'm lying about my experience, but what you can't do is claim I'm actually experiencing something else and not noticing. If I didn't notice, then no, I did not experience that other thing.

Oh, I'm from Barcelona myself. While I agree with you that the upper class in the US is much richer than in Barcelona, I strongly disagree with you about the poor. I think very often about my particular situation, and what would have happened to me if I would have been born in the US. I come from a family that would be on the lower side of the middle class; unfortunately for us, there is a genetic illness running on my father's side of the family. In Spain, to get healthcare was never a problem; I'm not sure if that wouldn't have been an issue in the US.
I see the same problem with education: while we were not poor, I am not sure if I would have been able to go to one of the best schools in my country, as I did for free in Spain. Free education and healthcare are very important.

On racism, I don't wanna sound harsh, but I believe you only see less because the US is much more segregated. I am typically perceived as Hispanic by most Americans, and believe me, racism is an issue. I don't want to imagine how it is for an immigrant from Africa or Latin America.
Everyone gets paid!

If a nation buys 2/3 of the coin and destroys the network, investors (as a whole) take a 1/3 loss. Then they can (re)start another PoS coin.

Ironically the nation would be up against the old saying that the market can stay irrational longer than you can remain solvent.
Yes, on my other comment I've linked my web radio project where I sync canvas animations with cool music. I'll try to add this one to it later. Glad you liked it.
For anyone interested in the Fast App discussion from this article, I highly recommend this video from Defunct Land -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yjZpBq1XBE

The video not only does a deep dive into fast pass, but also does a statistical model break down to reveal that the modern implementation of fast pass is actually not what you might expect and serves to increase wait times for rides!
NYC. Pretty solid healthcare. Went to a new doctor for a routine physical, front desk said it would be free, and I got a $450 bill – after insurance.

Spending weeks fighting that was definitely stressful. And that's just one example.
I wouldn't consider any qemu based vmm a security boundary. I think of VM code as running with the same permissions/access as the qemu process itself.
A LOT of features have disappeared on BMWs in the last few months. I looked into trading in my X5 (2019) for a X5 45e (plug in hybrid) but it was missing quite a few bits that came as standard before. Like, fog lights. Or the heated/cooled cup holders, wifi hotspot and several other features.

Strangely (ahem) the prices haven't gone down!
