This quite possibly varies by jurisdiction, but at least in the UK they do have to take legal tender in the GP's case. In a restaurant where one pays after receiving the food and a petrol station where one pays after receiving the fuel, you have no way to give back what you've taken and leaving without paying is illegal. So while it would be foolish of the retailer to attempt to refuse payment in local currency, if you try to pay in legal tender then they are obliged to accept.

Having said all that, the largest denomination that's legal tender where I am (Scotland) is £1, filling up with fuel today cost me £100, and I'm not in the habit of carrying around that much loose change.

Also, it's absolutely the case that a store where you receive the goods after paying for them may accept (or decline) whatever they choose. Many shops on Edinburgh's High Street, for example, have signs in their windows saying they are quite happy to accept Euros or Dollars. Not that you'll get a particularly good exchange rate, mind.
I think you mean leery, or maybe wary.

> Is the metaverse they mention in the article the same metaverse that Zuckerberg talks about?
My understanding is yes, the term has been in use for awhile and now is being further broadcast by Facebook. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaverse

> Also, how is this different than any other digital asset? Don't some online games rely on "whales" to be profitable? How is this different than selling items or whatever in those games?

What makes these digital assets different is ownership is all on a public blockchain, commonly referred to as an "NFT". Unlike buying a special upgrade in a regular game, this special upgrade is provably of limited quantity.

See NFTs on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-fungible_token
Not in America for multiple reasons from historical reasons (centuries of people owning guns) to logistics like the country being too large to control gun trafficking because we can't control the southern border and people just cross over, so trafficking is guaranteed.

As someone who upvoted but didn't care much for the content, I think it's worth mentioning that sometimes/often I upvote for the currently occurring conversation to get more eyes, not for the link. I haven't seen too many specifics on the Zillow collapse and I've learned a nice deal through many of the comments here, most not having much at all to do with the article.
Also good luck getting positive ROI on that multi-year lawsuit over things that buyer can reasonably say ‘never bothered me really, I don’t know what they’re talking about - sounds like they’re just irritated at life’. Especially when you factor in all the legal fees and several years of hassle going through the courts.

None of these things are necessarily unusual in most neighborhoods. All at once is irritating to most people - but hard to objectively prove are a true nuisance in a legal sense.

And, dare I say it, still a waste of time. In my not-so-humble opinion you either know enough algebra to understand that, for non-zero a, 0 = a x^2 + b x + c <=> 0 = x^2 + b/a x + c/a <=> 0 = (x + b/2a)^2 - b^2/4a^2 + c/a <=> (x + b/2a)^2 = (b^2 - 4 a c) / 4a^2 or you need to improve your basic algebra skills - not search for a better derivation of this particular formula.

I'll just point out that R started as a Scheme dialect. If you dig into the source, you'll see that the main C data structure is the SEXP, for s-expression. And as the other comment says, you can call everything as a function. You can write an s-expression form of R in about 30 minutes. Literally all you have to do is identify opening and closing parens and rewrite in `function`(arguments) form.
Ask HN: How do I play Doom on Linux?
I'm an experienced linux user and I tried to play doom 1 today. And for me it was a complete failure. How it has come that it is so hard?

There were Linus youtube series [0] about linux gaming. But I was skeptical about it as all games I wanted to play have native linux support. And I didn't experience any problems with them at all.

But today I wanted to launch Doom 1(which I own via gog.com) and it was a failure. I tried to launch it via wine and dosbox with no luck. Also, it doesn't have any .wad files available.

I tried to search it via duckduckgo and I came across zdoom [1] and tried to download it. Ubuntu's 64bit version is 404 at the moment. 32 bit version requires .wad files which gog.com version doesn't provide. And I'm stuck here trying to play 28 yo game.

I don’t follow. Spawning objects (which the article talks about as part of the network code) is unrelated to (re-)spawning players as a gameplay feature (which is where griefing could be an issue), neither of them make hardware use “unbounded”, and both are completely orthogonal to using pools as an allocation technique.
often its because the founder has a very different picture of why the company was founded and where it should be headed than the new vc-installed management.

Well, in a different concept of how compatibility was thought of with respect to stored schemes, you could have feature flags marked as "this feature is entirely optional to understand", "this feature is required to understand", and a third case that would work here and be extremely useful "this feature is required to understand if you want to write to the database, but if you merely open it read only it is optional".

There are other Illumos distributions too, such as OmniOS and SmartOS. I like them in theory, but I would be hesitant to build a business on top of them, Illumos future seems to be hanging on by a thread (Joyent, the only corporate backer of Illumos AFAIK, recently shut down Joyent Cloud, which was built on top of their SmartOS)

That's why you're seeing things like the extended bed options of the new tailgate designs. Also, most people don't need to carry 6'+ items. They do need to take the ankle biters along and maybe haul some stuff in the back. The trade off seems to be accepted going by number of units sold. If you keep the 6' bed plus the comfy backseats as you've mentioned, it no longer fits in standard garages.
You seem to be applying different rules to MMOs and Github, and I don't understand why. I'd say that there are many ways of looking at this; there exist complex MMOs; and one could look at Github from the point of view of an average user.

E.g., a bit tongue in cheek:

> An MMO is a very simple system, in that there's only one Service Level Indicator (SLI) that devs, shareholders, and players all agree on. That SLI is "can a player connect to the server, and perform regular gameplay actions, without a ridiculous amount of per-action latency."

Wouldn't you say that in an MMO of sufficient scale there's likely no point where every single component and feature and endpoint of the system is all working and robust and fast, all at once?

> In systems of sufficient scale, there's likely no point where every single component and feature and endpoint of the system is all working and robust and fast, all at once. Never has been, never will be.

Couldn't we redefine SLIs as "can the user connect to the server and perform regular user actions without a ridiculous amount of per-action latency"?
Very nice, though with a 200lb ceramic bbq like the BGE — and with the caveat that your lid gasket isn’t shot — you can leave it ticking over at 300F for hours, unattended. Big poultry in particular is dead simple because the giant breasts mean they cook as slowly as the legs, unlike a chicken where the breast will overcook by the time the thighs are done. Take it off when it’s at 140F and let it sit for an hour. My food coma today is testament to my partners ability to pull this off.

With a kamado, always fill the firebox up with lots of fuel and get the whole thing hot before use. This is the key to a long, controlled burn.

Control system integration is much more useful if you have a cheap steel drum with crappy sealing and a sub optimally designed firebox. You cheap out on the grill and compensate for it with active control systems.

Kind of like a trebuchet vs a sniper rifle. Upgrade your throwing rocks with ESP32 terminal guidance and you’ll be able to knock a guy off his horse just as good as the latter. Or something.

My gay aunt and her partner moved to Austin just before the 2008 housing crash. Within months, they had experienced sufficient discrimination that they desperately wanted to move back to NE but had to wait until the housing market recovered enough for their loss to be palatable.

They miss the weather but don’t miss tradespeople refusing to enter when they realize the house belonged to two women.
I think the posters you're responding to are asking the following: what does an NFT provide here that any other identifier doesn't? They could just say you need to have an ID with your name on it. Is the point that would not be private? And so they could fix that by just sending you a long random string and forcing you to show that? But then is the issue in that case that that string could get duplicated multiple times and so if you had an NFT you could essentially guarantee that this private identifier is simultaneously transferable, but still effectively unique?

These are legitimate questions and I'm just trying to understand.
In the 1970s-80s we managed with email lists and tarballs on multiple mirrors. Git itself decentralizes source control, and yet we all want to use single-point-of-failure Github.

Anyone remember when Github took down youtube-dl?

I wonder how much Big Brother data Microsoft is gathering on Github developers. "Oh, as part of our hiring process, just like we scan your FB and Twitter, we also scan your Github activity to evaluate your performance as best as our machine learning overlords can assess it. Do you create Github projects and then abandon them when unfixed issues accumulate? Our algorithm thinks you're a bad hire."

> Western capitals were dead silent during the 2016 coup attempt.

Yeah, and for the better. The coup attempt is very controversial and it's not good guys vs bad guys situation.

To be fair, the west cheered for Erdogan up until Erdogan completely abandoned his initial positions. Later, the west simply worked with Turkey and Erdogan was properly elected through the years.

What the West was supposed to do? Invade Turkey? Assassinate the politician who consistently got about %50 of the vote of the Turks on elections with no less than %85 voter turnaround?

Lots of good stuff in there. One that caught my eye is “able to change logging level without code changes”. I would take that one step further to “without redeploying”. Going to try and implement that in my own projects.

I disagree strongly with “90%+ unit test coverage” though. Diminishing returns are very real there.

I think the two can live interchangeably. Pooling and such is more of an optimization technique.

"Trivially movable" means anyone can take an instance (that they own) and copy its data (just the plain memory cells) to a new location with a new address, then continue to use that instance at that new location without breaking anything.
This is a weaker guarantee than `Copy` because they're not necessarily allowed to use both copies of the data as true instances. They can still delay choosing one, but they can only ever interact with one of them through its API.

I'll see if I can add a link to an explanation there. In Rust it's mostly a base assumption and many other languages (C#, Java, JS…) avoid the topic almost entirely, so they all don't explain it very prominently.
C++ is much more explicit about it, but unfortunately calls this property a bunch of different names. (I've seen "trivially relocatable" as general term for it, since a "move" seems to be a very specific action in C++.)

The intro section turned out a bit C++-y, maybe. You can read up on the terms by clicking any underlined text. I'm not too happy about links not being blue, but I can't change it without being in the Hashnode ambassador program. (Not much spare money means my entire web presence is strung together from free or very inexpensive platform services. Maybe I'll post about that in the future.)

You can also skip the "The Problem" section entirely, though. It's not that important overall and serves mostly as on-ramp for users of other languages with manual memory management.

As I understand it, there is not a single clear definition of what is meant when we say that something is true. The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, seems to list at least five major schools of thought on the subject.[1]

So, given "This sentence is false" it seems to me that there must be assumptions behind it that cause us to perceive it as a paradox.

Interested in your thoughts, if you wish to say more.

And I really don't get it. The more we "engage" the more content we will burn through per unit time. So without auto play horse shit I might watch an episode or two a night and really marinate in it.

This is an important combo:

- open source,
- easy to learn and
- crowd funded.

By being open source, anyone can have access to it. By being easy to learn, most people who try it can do something cool with little effort. By being crowd funded, developers can work on it for as long as enough people are using.

There's something to be said for having a more crazy group you can denounce and make yourself appear to be the sane one. But it's probably not a better strategy than just being perceived as sane. Problem is the attention is gathered by the crazy soundbites, not the real complex questions behind them. When all the media bothers with are tweets anything longer than 140 characters is lost.

"Reallocate some of the police budget to fund mental health workers" is apparently too long a slogan.

As for the NSA, isn't that why people said encrypt everything though?

The main question to me was could they store/process all the data they could possibly/easily obtain? The original stories were about them being able to store and search everything, which is clearly impossible, they had to target searches to capture small parts of the entire data stream and throw away 99.99999%, and they'd not cracked encryption on any useful scale either.
The fact you need group buys at all is evidence to how expensive it is. There really aren't that many places you can go for quality either.

>likely to be regressive

I'm not sure. I was just looking for some points of comparison, and as far as I can gather, tampon tax (the standout example for regressive luxury taxation) wasn't actually a luxury tax, but rather a tax on 'unnecessary' items. Which is - ech - but, you know, it's not an extra tax.

I think explicit taxes on higher-price items within categories (so like, expensive cars) would be kinda nice, because it avoids all of the fiddly questions over what is and isn't an luxury item.
