curious, what would be the point of having posts off-chain? The whole premise is that the chain is open hence no one can censor etc.
This was my first reaction too. Now I work in a (Swift) codebase where I could probably count the number of for loops we have on one hand. Pretty much everything is done through map/reduce/filter, etc.

At first, I thought it wasn't as readable, but now that I'm used to the syntax, I think it's much easier to parse what happening. I know what transformation is happening, and I know there shouldn't be any side-effects.
Yes, but bad in different ways. Amazon's reputation is that they overwork you and people only stay until their "golden handcuffs" vest. But their code quality and tooling is seen as excellent.
I worked in the mortgage industry for a while and appraisals are 100% made up metrics. We consistently utilized specific appraisers who would "always" make sure the purchased house came in at the maximum value of our loan amount (80% of the purchase price). The taxes said it wasn't even worth the amount these people bought it for.

Half the time lenders and us would joke saying we could be an appraiser. It's so easy, just look at your database of "comparable" properties and just say "heres a ballpark figure."

We're headed for another 2008 like a goddamn train with no brakes. Whatever the federal government did to curb that, they didn't police the mortgage industry enough. Appraisers, realtors, and lenders are all complicit with only the banks getting oversight. Lenders can go through banks, but they don't have to be immediately affiliated with them. So they can literally be ignoring rights "guaranteed" by the government since 2008. On top of this, they charge single digit percentage fees for the loans. It is such a giant joke that honestly the government shouldn't bail out at all. Owning a house should be a legitimate risk. Not this farcical system of laundering money.

Yeah, the market solves these problems by bundling infrastructure with profitable things. In other words, low-level stuff will be maintained by Google and Red Hat.
I will never forget the first time I started IEx from within a Phoenix project, and found that I had a live shell into the running application, while the Phoenix development server was running and reachable from the browser, all with hot code reloading... No need to create a dummy REST endpoint to try running a function.

My mind was blown.

carlosdp isn't saying "because PoS isn't plutocratic, the claim 'can only scale by becoming plutocratic by using PoS' doesn't hold",
Rather, carlosdp is saying that "because PoS isn't the thing being proposed for scaling, but is instead for different things, the claim 'can only scale by becoming plutocratic by using PoS' doesn't hold".
It doesn't really matter that it's a niche product. The mere fact that it's out there does show to less tech savvy people what's possible. That's very important because many of them are not even aware things can be done differently.

> 1. Not forward the transaction (I can tell relatively quickly by checking the mempool)

You mixing things up here, the mempool won't help you since your whatsapp proxy could tamper it. The only reliable thing is the chain itself once your transaction has been inserted in a mined block.

> 2. Doxx me/report me/etc by observing my IP, Whatsapp account name, and what wallet it is connected to.

But when doing direct crypto transaction is a crime in your country, this is a more serious threat than “tampering the transaction” or anything. Going to jail, or being tortured by some gang who want your private key, or both depending how corrupt the police is in that country.

The Hard Drive That Brought Down the Chancellor of Austria
I'm curious about the state of research on longevity for model organisms. Especially C-Elegans, or something else comparatively "simple" to a human. If we can't manipulate lifespan significantly in those, I don't see much hope for it in humans. Phrased a different way: I think extending flatworm lifespan is a prerequisite for extending human lifespan, at least in a systematic way.

I'm not optimistic we'll have real breakthroughs in this field within the next century or so, but the gut reactions to the field (See the acerbic tone of the linked article) are born more out of a knee-jerk reaction to what longevity research implies, than a rational take. When the arguments go towards societal sustainability or "I wouldn't want to live any longer than 90", it's a cue you're reading a skin-deep reaction.
This is a good question and the answer depends on what you mean by formula.

One could probably show that there exists no formula using a finite number of +,*,/,^. However one might be able to define functions which together with a finite number of operations from above allow to express solutions. However it is likely that calculating those helper functions even when they are well studied and known is basically solving a slightly different differential equation (or as you said integration problem).
I am extraordinarily and unspeakably biased here, but I also say this as someone who didn't see the talk until I myself was an attendee at OSFC: Cliff's talk is as good as any I have ever seen in my career. It is dense with technical detail that itself reflects years of thinking and wisdom, but it remains well-paced with very helpful visuals; highly recommended viewing!
Even if that's true, what does it matter and what are you implying? No innovation because the big good corps paved the way before that?

Imagine what would happen if Rome made those big and long roads all across Europe and then nobody used them out of respect of all the labor that went into them. :D
I have an edge-case for zsh completion that I'd love to know if there's a way to implement.

I've declared a function `k` which tests if I'm currently on a `kubie` [0] shell. If it isn't, it runs `kubie ctx`; if it is, it runs `kubectl $@`.

I never write kubectl directly but rather run this `k` function. This way I'm always in the context I want and don't get surprises since I'm forgetful.

I'd like for this function to complete like it was kubectl itself.

So far I've tried:

compdef k=kubectl
compdef _kubectl k
compdef '_bash_complete -o default -F __start_kubectl' k

The last one is from the below, although I don't really understand what it's doing:

$ grep kubectl ~/.zcompdump
'kubectl' '_bash_complete -o default -F __start_kubectl'
autoload -Uz _bat _brew _git _j _kubectl \

What this really means that once you get to a certain level of experience and seniority the actual code you write in the small is pretty much irrelevant. What matters is the overall architecture of what you’re building: the data structures and APIs. The challenge becomes about working together as a team, and with other teams within your ecosystem. Sophisticated language constructs don’t actually help you solve those problems, and imo their benefit is marginal where they do help.
Now that "in practice" is erasing a key distinction on your side of the fence while insisting on precise definition for the other side (what does exploitation mean).

I’ve spend hours trying to get it to work as well as fish, but even the installed configs I miss one thing or another and autocomplete is still missing features. It’s a mess and really slow.

Without color, and trying to get NSH working with autocomplete (with bash autocomplete) it still didn’t work in NSH. I if it wasn’t for fish I’d still be using GUI, and if it was this and bash, I would have never felt comfortable configurating stuff I didn’t understand.
Wouldn't that be because they can only afford the rundown house in the bad neighborhood, but the city has not corrected the tax levy because people keep living there?

Cities don't just levy higher taxes on minorities. It's more likely the city retained the levied amount and did not change it after the white people moved. Now because it's in a "bad" neighborhood, appraisal values fall, but the city government still believes it retains it's specific value.
Governments would try to borrow more, but would there be enough willing lenders?

The endgame is forcing governments to be more fiscally conservative and generally less bloated.

Probably not the right one, but "The Evolution of a Haskell Programmer"[0] sounds like a similar idea which goes from a Freshman Haskell programmer's simple factorial to the abstract heights of a Post-doc Haskell programmer, then back down to a Tenured professor's simple factorial.

I dont know that convincing the public was the intention of the blog, the author seems resigned that they are preaching to their choir. Not everything has to be about winning people over, I enjoyed the piece as a rant that resonates with me, puts my vague impressions into prose.
You're right I am, basically.

I offer no insight as to whether the finiteness of our lifespans is "right" or "desirable". And I certainly am not saying that fighting aging is wrong or undesirable.

Just that there's a structural reason as to why our organisms are built the way they are -- and a pretty deep structural reason at that.
we can put 32g of microsd cards in special locations so we can share content and /etc/hosts without anyone knowing

For a short while, when sneakernet was still higher capacity than the internet, people used to embed USB drives in trees and other public places. You'd walk up, plug in, and download the content. Things like full wikis of specialized subjects. Or videos of neighborhood events. Ideally, they were always made somehow read-only. I wouldn't want to imagine what would happen if they were read/write. We'd be right back to the internet we have today.

Still, it's something I do wish would have taken off. Maybe we could still do something like that today by setting up miniature web BBSes on hotspots in or near public parks. Not everything in the world should be open to the entire planet. As long as you weren't in a tourist district, you could be pretty sure the content was at least locally generated.

> ODEs (out of singular points) have a unique solution for any set of initial conditions

I am not sure if that statement is to weak. In general you can only guarantee the solution of an explicit ODE over some interval if the right hand side is Lipschitz continuous.
It is lethal to humans, but not to the animals that typically carry it. Ebola didn't evolve in humans to become highly lethal, it evolved to cross species.

HIV in and of itself does not kill you. It destroys your immune system in a lengthy process that ultimately leads to opportunistic infections that kill you. This process can take several months to several years. Likewise, HIV crossed species to infect humans, it did not evolve it's capabilities directly in humans.
Wow, 36k a year! What a livable wage! Even your cherry picked example doesn't really prove your point, but the vast majority of other service workers are treated worse.

Turning important society-wide (and hell, world-wide even) problems into yet another "us vs. them" diatribe seriously does not help anyone and it's just a distraction.

> How is Cornell Tech's campus doing at Roosevelt Island, NYC?

I dunno, but every time I head over to that end of the island it seems pretty dead. There is the Graduate Hotel with the swanky Panorama Room bar on top that’s fun to visit (watch seaplanes land every half hour some days), the fancy cafe is open, there’s nice open plazas between buildings, it connects to the park overlooking the river (and FDR memorial beyond) … but it’s all so empty. I can’t imagine it’s operating at normal capacity.

North end is better anyway ;)
I can't follow – does it or doesn't it?
You're missing the entire point, which is that people don't have options because not everyone is privileged enough to be able to take time off to look for a job, or go any time without a paycheck.

Also, a lot of the work with growing food could easily be scaled back and done by people with plenty of time to spare for their own lives, or even partially automated. We're already quite a lot more efficient than before. There's no reason we have to have people suffer shit jobs just to live.
wow, thank you very much i agree with you!

Does every single article about an unauthorized transaction have to meander around conflating it with theft as if the consumer has suffered the loss, only to finally reveal at the end that since it's fraud they've been made whole by the bank per regulations? I can't help but feel this type of reporting grossly misinforms people of their actual legal rights. If you're in this situation, the first thing you do is ask the bank nicely over the phone. If that gets you nowhere, the next thing you do is send a formal demand letter.

And sure it would have been a completely different story if this guy had a large amount of cryptocurrency on his phone, just like if he had lots of cash in his wallet. Once a bearer instrument is gone, it's really gone. Which is why it would be a terrible idea to walk around with £18k in your pocket for a night out drinking. But thankfully for him, this is not what he did.
I totally agree with your second point, but your first won't work. If a PWA has been downloaded it can report back its status - any PWA developer would rely on their own status tracking implementation, not some unreliable flag provided by Safari.
I like the antiwork people's spirit, as I used to read The Baffler, Adbusters, rtmark, and that whole thing, but you've nailed it that their corporate and government friendly activism is at the crux of it.

To extend a metaphor, I think the sales pitch was: "I am offering you liberation, redemption, freedom, and transformation, and all you need to do to achieve it is to be brave and heroic and tug on your leash! What's that you say? You don't have one? Well I have some right here! Just put one on and tug at it, and with enough suffering and blood, you shall overcome! Step right up! This work is guaranteed to set you free, or your money back!" Nobody wants to accept they've been swindled by a deceptive carnival barker working for the leash maker, but in a metaphysical comic book sort of way, I have come to suspect that's precisely what happened.
> like how older code uses "int" as the counter for every single for loop, despite this being an incredibly stupid type for this purpose

Is it? I always internalized int as “the most natural sized number for the platform”. For a lot of uses, that’s a pretty reasonable choice, despite there more specific/constrained types available now.
There are a lot of sophisticated problems dealing with enterprise software even in higher languages and even in situations where things like performance or resource usage is not a primary concern.

For example, how do you handle authorization, logging, and how do you make the code maintainable? That's a really tough problem that requires a lot of thought about the overall system design.

And of course it's always a lie to say that performance and resource usage aren't a concern -- they're not a concern until they are.
IMO they attack on all fronts, the one both me and you mentioned included.

Gmail is pretty much a standard right now (even if there's no public technical standard involved; only Google's apps can communicate with Gmail). That's monopoly dressed as "new technology".

In the meantime the pressure in the EU is mounting between the both camps of the encrypted messaging ecosystem.

So yeah, both things are happening in parallel.

> PiHole could be trivially sidestepped by hardcoding the DNS server and then encrypting DNS in the name of security (Didn't some Androids have Google hardcoded?). Android/iOS could allow some apps to ignore VPNs (this already happened with some Apple software).

Yeah, you're sadly correct. I dread the day when this will start becoming the norm. But it's also true that many common citizens can stop using service X or Y and it would cost them nearly nothing (with some prominent exceptions like Gmail or Whatsapp).
I’ve been there on the IT side. Company had two meetings simultaneously on either side of the building and I was in the server room disabling GSuite accounts and remotely locking laptops.

Absolutely brutal 40% headcount slash after we lost a major client. And, someone went to the “stay” meeting that was escorted to the correct meeting by a manager too.
I use Zoom and Meet daily too. They are both functional on the bare-bones level but fail miserably with anything more complex - such as a 10+ person meeting. Or screen sharing.

Meets craps its UI dimensions when you open chat. Zoom pops the chat window up in the middle of the screen, which is only slightly less bad. Both have problems if you have detachable video camera(s) in addition to laptop's own. And don't get me started on the audio path: even if you do manage to pick the right input and output, there's no guarantee the audio actually gets routed through. Expect to restart the video call software 25% of the time and pray it reconnects the streams all the way through.

Oh, and Zoom's screen sharing experience on multi-monitor OSX setup is unforgivable. When you choose to share a screen, it triggers a sequence where the audience sees your shared view but you do not. The window you chose to share gets hidden locally.

Whoever thought that would be an acceptable user experience needs to have their head examined. Possibly with a trepanner.
