In your example, even if it you didn’t share it on social media but released it into the wild in back-channels and people started using it, the YT devs would figure it out eventually anyway. They would still notice downvotes happening and realize someone figured out a hack to enable that. Then they would scour the internet and dark web for it till they found it, either that or use telemetry in YT pages to reverse engineer it.

Also an idea like that is only useful if lots of people use it. If you only share it with your 5 closest friends, then their downvotes will have no effect on the total up/down ratios. But once lots of people use it, it becomes obvious to the YT team, and they figure out how to fix it.
You need to know less about what you're doing with Rust at any given time versus C, for the programmer.

Also at this point, Rust isn't "hipster shit". You're just not familiar with it, and that's fine. But it's in wide use now and proven to solve major classes of recurring issues.
Soundify: Matching sound effects to video
I moved to "the country" and no longer have local dive shops.

Also, I looked at the name brand dive lights. They're 3-5X more expensive and don't spec the LEDs. To a flashlight geek, these seem to be wholly inferior to the reputable chinese brands like wurkkos or sofirn.

Also also, I just threw out a set of expensive UK halogen lights. I expect to replace these new ones in a few years as LEDs continue to get more efficient. Going cheap seems to be the right choice for this kind of technology product.
Ada/SPARK allows formal verification of many more properties than just memory safety. Ada on its own does not have the same kind of memory safety guarantees as rust though.
Apparently the working class is doing there part as well to keep the status quo when I see the reaction of others to my statement.

I'm not particularly concerned about devs "ruining" my work. I won't be posting the project I'm developing now; but only because it is aimed at a specific demographic, and the last thing I want, is a whole buttload of mayfly-lifespan signups from curious geeks.

Almost every project that I do, is designed and supplied as a finished, released repo. Most are modules (as opposed to apps). I do have the source for several of my apps in the public domain.

It's never been a problem for me. Most of the modules I release are for my consumption. I don't really care if it gets starred or forked on GH. In fact, the less, the merrier. If others aren't counting on my utilities, then I can play around with them, if I need to.

Most of my work is of extremely high Quality. It's designed for serious developers (like me), that are interested in bottom-to-top native development. It's actually surprising how few people do that.

When I release a module, I liken it to having a child. It is now my Responsibility to maintain and care for it.

I bought an Express Water setup that cost $150 with a 3 year supply of filters for $90. I also got an alkaline stage that I put just before the carbon post filter (it wouldn't fit in the kit otherwise). Water input and waste output screws into the kitchen sink aerator.

There is no tank, which was the biggest con to me when weighing my options. I considered getting a tank to put inline with the output, but I don't think my pressure is high enough and my SO would not appreciate the counter space loss. I've been using a large Brita tank in my fridge for many years, so I just fill that up daily. It's about 30 minutes of babysitting: very reasonable while doing other chores. It isn't as convenient as it could be, but its a solution that fits the shape of the problem.
I didn't even see this in the feature list before doing the signup. One of the signup questions is "how do you usually search?" or so, I wrote in the blank "I want to search for symbols, not substrings, so if I'm searching for `bar` I don't want `foo_bar` to show up as a match". I usually do this with word boundaries in regexes, but I pretty much have to have the repo downloaded, so it's useless for searching on github.com this way.
> But the skin owner can code pauses/restraints in the NFT smart contract, right? A decentralized market wouldn't change that.

I think it is fine if skin providers in a free marketplace can impose constraints on their NFTs. I think the problem is if someone can impose arbitrary constraints on all the assets at any time.

> But for that you need to have free assets, to the point where someone else can build a game. And I bet in that case you don't need to own the skin, just load the asset in the game and that's it.

Yes, you need certain amount of assets. I am not sure why you wouldn't need to own the skin. We already have verification for assets in centralized ledgers to exclusive access. I am saying a situation where I might give asset owners access to specific game functions if they own an asset from another game for example. This is pretty useful for RPG games (think branching paths in games like Mass Effect or other Bioware games)

That's not how flu shots work. You might have had an immune response that had you feeling down, but flu shots don't give you the flu.
The human neocortex has 20B neurons, averaging 10K connections each, which is about 200T connections total. This model is only a few orders of magnitude away from that, and it's already performing really well in its narrow category.

Equating model 'parameters' to interneuron connections in naïve at best (and a horrible measure in general).

All I'm trying to say is I find it crazy how dang big these models are getting.
Slight tangent: The video has a guy describing the tool and he includes the fact that it’s written in rust when introducing it. I’ve always found this sort of name dropping in rust projects/devs baffling. Is there anything that I’m expected to infer from it? Is it that it’s backend is memory safe? I can’t think of anything else. Now it may very well be very memory safe but why include that highly specific detail when talking about a very high level thing that is the UX of search. What if it was written in Haskell or C#? Would it still be brought up? It’s almost as if being written in rust is a feature in itself these days. As a technical guy I can’t help but take the person less seriously, especially when it’s as unwarranted as this.
Why does it need to be an NFT thought rather than some centralized ledger. It's the distributed, no trust nature of this that I don't get in video games. Games have a developer and publisher and (sadly) generally centralized servers. Why add in distributed cosmetics?
The only new thing that Ubisoft have here is making the database of all transactions public.

These hardly count as real NFTs. You can only transact them on Ubisoft approved market places, only centrally registered Ubisoft accounts can hold them. And since they control the game, they have all the rights to ban items from the game, even if they insist they can't reverse transactions.
Not hiring anyone, sorry.
The only difference from what Valve is doing is that these are numbered and in limited quantity.
'best practices' for memory safety in C++, even modern C++, are still so convoluted as to not be reliably followable in practice, either by humans or humans assisted by static analysis.
Assuming you have prior evidence of YT purposefully breaking its interface-- Did you contact your local area user group about it?

I haven't used YT in ages but if it's legit obfuscation your rep will immediately escalate that shit all the way to the AG if that interface is indeed serving up commons to a large enough userbase. (Even with their dwindling numbers I'd bet they still qualify as a public carrier.)

Yeah, it does take its time to build up, but in my opinion that just lays a stronger foundation for the latter half(-ish) of the book.

Use of Weapons is more than a decent intro, but I'd still personally recommend The Player of Games since it isn't as deep and heavy in comparison, and the narrative structure is simpler.

Of course, YMMV, but I started with TPoG, and reading UoW right after it was absolutely fantastic. I guess my biggest concern with recommending UoW as the starter would be that it might diminish TPoG, which I'm fond of, but I don't know if it actually would, since they're connected pretty much only bound by the setting.
This is what happened in my first job out of college. I joined a publicly traded software company and was helping marketing drive leads.

This involved calling engineers at their desks and offering workshops where they got some continental breakfast and to try out some very expensive IC design tool.

The company had a web application written in ColdFusion that had a bunch of forms to fill out each time a phone call or email exchange was performed with a lead. Enterprise sales would use this information to move sales through the pipeline.

I got bored really quickly of tabbing through the page and the repeat data entry based on call or email outcome. So I found a windows macro tool and wrote 5-10 macros that handled 80% of all call outcomes, making it trivial to add details.

Ideally, the web application would just get this kind of automation. However, some of the macros were campaign specific--they just didn't do it.

When my manager saw how I was pulling off the call volume and results, (which were modest--it was still largely cold calling), everyone on the team got a license to the macros and I was asked to share the macros around.

They were all RCGs or recent masters grads, so it wasn't really a problem. But it immediately set a floor for "why are you typing that and using your mouse to finish this call? We have a tool to do that" kind of thing.

> I thought that the first amendment was about people rather than companies.

Any amendment written before slavery was abolished probably had a rather flexible view on the whole "people" issue. If an African American can be property then a corporation can be a person.
No, they don't. This is a completely false statement.
I very specifically said that there were hard problems, just that this wasn't one ;)

In this case, a fairly straightforward account age rule would get you like 95% of the way there. My twitter account, which is 7 years old and has a few hundred followers and tweets once a week isn't going to benefit from this. You don't ban it. Similarly, you don't ban a 7 year old account with 10s of thousands of followers that's been doing the same kind of tweeting for 2 years and recently got a bunch of bot follows.

On the other hand, a 3 week old account with a ton of bot follows is suspicious. This'll miss older accounts that were unused and changed (e.g. if my account suddenly started tweeting 17x a day about divisive political content and suddenly got a bunch of bot follows, so you need slightly fancier approaches).

You probably further improve this with some kind of multifaceted account realness score based on a pagerank like analysis of followers (following bots lowers your score, as does being followed by them). And ofc you still ban the bots, but you don't punish any accounts above a certain threshold of "real".

The other part of it is that randomly sabotaging twitter accounts isn't going to happen very often, it costs money, and unless there's an ROI (extorting people), no one is going to do it except a handful of people for teh lulz or whatever. But importantly, most of those people will be bad at doing this kind of attack in a convincing way.

There are lots of difficult problems, but OP chose one that doesn't happen and is straightforward to address.
You do realize Chrome's code has a lineage that is over 24 year old, based on khtml.

If you are starting a project from scratch with C++, you can avoid a lot of the pitfalls chrome's team has. Additionally Google has an arguably poor C++ coding style that is also completely out of date.

A company that uses C++ more effectively is arguably Adobe, who has the great Sean Parent.
The official guidance is to not test, since the test wasn't very good, the number of kids with genuine issues is low (so high false negative rate) and the treatments being dangerous if you don't actually have the problem.

It should be relatively easy to get someone to test your water though, and get that sorted if there's an issue found.

> 32 ETH is a lot.

The point is that the staking contracts were set at 32 ETH since the time when ETH was about $100. There is a good amount of people that staked then when it was a lot easier, and today there is always the possibility of staking pools (just like there are mining pools)

> network is pretty inefficient right now. (...) And there are networks with faster transactions rates!

The mistake you are making is that - like the $130k comment above - you are thinking in terms of a static system. Ethereum is constant development precisely as a way to address the bottlenecks that are being hit.

There are already people using Layer-2 systems for making transfers and for decentralized exchanges. This year we also are starting to see more complete scaling solutions. The more Layer-2 solutions come up, the less important the base-layer performance becomes for users.

Talking about the base-layer when it has been widely established that Ethereum is heading to the direction of scaling through roll-ups and other layer-2 systems is either ignorance or intellectual dishonesty.

> "bet" is the apt word here.

Pretty much in the same way that people "invest" in Uber or other Unicorns even if they go years without turning a profit, people "invest" in Ethereum (or Bitcoin, or Cardano, or Solana, or whatever) because they expect that in the future that network will be useful. It is a bet that it will be more profitable and create wealth in the future.

> I think the reasons other people would are legion:

You misunderstood my question. You were criticizing PoS because you claimed that it wasn´t capital efficient (2"% is not much..."), at the same time you pointing out the "issue" that "rich people" could put more at stake than others. These criticisms are at odds with one another.

> I just think subverting financial systems set up by democracies is deeply immoral

Not only you are clearly mistaking opinions for facts; this single statement seems to be based on a worldview that:

- assumes that "financial systems" were "set up" by democracies.

- assumes that being a "liberal democracy" is a binary property.

- assumes that leaders and elites from the "liberal democracies" are actually working with the interests of people at heart.

- assumes that "liberal democracies" are the inevitable endgame for government.

- assumes that people working with decentralization are only concerned about "finance".

- is based on a false dichotomy of "full-anarchy" vs "globalized world subject to a set of universal values as defined by liberal democracies"

Do you own any stock? Pension funds? a 401-k? Worked for any VC-funded company? Bought anything made in China even though you knew there was an alternative product made in $wherever_you_live?

Then yes, you are profiting off of it. So please just get off the high horse.
Why would that be worse than if it was written in C? A rust codebase would be much easier to find the bugs in and refactor accordingly, than in C.

Plus it's not like most people are going to dive into driver code without experience in the driver itself. So it's a niche set of folks this would affect, the majority of whom would likely be writing the rust code anyway since they're likely the ones most familiar with the driver aspects.
Not OP, but I think that infamous YT Rewind video is a good example.
His other open-source project, Subsurface, is written in C++.
The reason Ubisoft is deploying this as an NFT instead of using the centralized market model that Valve uses is so they won’t be subject to the same regulation that Valve has to deal with (reporting proceeds from sales to tax authorities). If the secondary market is on the blockchain and the money doesn’t pass through Ubisoft’s hands they can avoid dealing with this while still having “you can sell your items to other people” as a feature.
Assuming anything new is bad because of a bad experience seems like a poor lesson to take.

Of course you need to know what you are doing still, but pretending humans don't make mistakes even when they know what they are doing is ignoring reality.

Unifont is perfectly fine. Linux uses it in various places, so I don't mind it. In fact, I rather like its letter shapes.

1024x768 is more than reasonable. Almost luxurious in a "small"/"personal" computing context, but in a good way. I still use computers with that resolution sometimes.
This is one of the main advantages to being the token tech person in a non-tech group/organization: They have no idea how I do anything or how much time it might take. All explaining or sharing too much does is cut into my free time and possibly leads to additional competition in my niche.

There are also larger ideas and projects I keep to myself because I think they're viable and useful but refuse to see them ruined by the current scene/think the drawbacks of letting the idea out in our current culture outweigh the advantages.

I don't LIKE either of these things, but it'd be foolish of me to ignore the lessons I've learned over the past quarter of a century.
> How do you even define a pyramid scheme in a way that doesn't also cover traditional financial institutions and academia?

Not on the relevant team, but I can tell you what I've observed from the outside:

There's no specific goal to support every platform Linux supports. We have four tiers of support: 1-3, and then not supported in-tree. The project itself only moves things forward on a given platform if there are people championing that platform's support. If folks want to get Rust in more than just drivers and into the kernel proper, and platform support is an issue, then it's up to them to drive the platform support. For example, aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu only recently gained Tier 1 support, thanks to Arm themselves driving the effort.

For the details on what is supported today, and the process to expand that list: https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/rustc/platform-support.html Here's an example of a contributor adding a new platform at tier 3: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/79608

Twitter Acquires Quill; Will Shut Down Service at the End of the Week
Because c is simple.

Rust has many qualities, but it's not a simple language.

The problem with complex languages is that they are ill suited for low level stuff.

Sometimes it's better to not have high level language features, because it allows everybody to understand the code without having to know every feature of the language.

Simple is better. There are too many developers who prefer complexity.
You are right; I was being loose with my language on assets and receipts. Thank you for the correction.

> but if that content looks anything like the original asset, they're liable to get sued for copyright infringement.

I am thinking something more along the lines of a game that supports in-game mods for it. There is nothing limiting you to use the original asset; you just need proof of ownership to give access to a different functionality. I have no idea how this would work across developers and with copyright, but there are real scenarios right now that would love to use proof of ownership or for mods.
