Very cool. I co-edit Peter Shirley's _Ray Tracing in One Weekend_ (https://raytracing.github.io/) and have taken a similar approach, though with a different toolset. At some point if I find the time, I'll write up a similar article on our approach and what we've learned. Our books are open-sourced on GitHub (https://github.com/raytracing/raytracing.github.io), and we also use GitHub to host our books.

Basically, we use Markdeep (https://casual-effects.com/markdeep/), a _very_ powerful Markdown implementation with a bunch of built-in features. The killer feature is that with a handful of boilerplate lines (UTF-8 declaration at the top, and JavaScript loader at the bottom), you get content that automatically self-transforms in the browser into a full HTML document. This eliminates any build step, and means you can treat it as you would any other HTML file, with optional CSS and other features. It also bundles in a LaTeX engine, ASCII diagram rendering, and a whole host of other features. If you look at the three ray tracing books, you can see how simple the source is, and how pleasing the final rendering.

Check out the books and the GitHub repo — it's a _great_ way to quickly and easily pound out a web book.

Exactly, I've never spent more than 5 hours on a previous company doing this. However, it allows me to not burn bridges and one of the reasons it never goes beyond 5 hours is that this approach doesn't lead to a situation where I am "working for them".
Have you considered changing companies? Instead of taking a step down, you could evaluate a new employer entirely on the basis of the likelihood that your issues will be sufficiently mitigated.

You are just using a bad bank. The bank I use lets you initiate a wire via their iPhone app, and then they simply call to confirm security details etc.

Far easier and safer than anything crypto has to offer.

Not to mention that it’s a complete fantasy to expect all but the tiniest number of sellers to accept crypto today, so the comparison is between something that exists today and works very well, and something that is only imaginary.

> When the "WALK" sign turns to a flashing "DONT WALK" (or their equivalent symbols) pedestrians are not supposed to enter the intersection.

This is no longer true in San Francisco (and possibly CA as a whole?). Pedestrians are allowed to enter the intersection when the don't-walk sign is already flashing, as long as they are out by the time it goes solid (in practice this means you usually will only do this if the flashing don't-walk sign is accompanied by a countdown timer). I believe this law change happened at the beginning of 2020.

As someone who is a consummate jaywalker, I love this, though I do think it's questionable from a safety perspective. Then again, is it? If someone is already moving in the intersection when the light turns green, oncoming traffic should be able to easily see the person. And they'll just be starting to accelerate from a stop, so (with the exception of idiots with high-perf engines who just need to show them off all the time) the cars will be moving pretty slowly. They can stop again just as quickly if they need to, and pedestrians still have a good amount of time to get out of the intersection.

This "already moving in the intersection" phenomenon is (I believe) what drives a semi-recent light timing change: the pedestrian signals at many intersections now transition to "walk" about 5 seconds before the drivers in that direction transition from red to green. This gives time for pedestrians to get into the intersection and be seen, before drivers start making left and right turns into the crosswalks.
Sorry, I was trying to clarify in my comment but failed to put it through clearly. When I say "We ran our own benchmark" I mean Fastly ran a benchmark on a Fastly Compute@Edge service.
It is definitely confusing. In Washington state, right red arrow does not prohibit turning on red. I learned this after people started beeping at me to go at such an intersection. And yes, that intersection (Queen Anne and Mercer in Seattle) is confusing and poorly designed.
This is arguably within the context of "how to write books" -- what did you do to draw illustrations and figures? (I've taken a look at Inkscape. What I want to do is have line drawings of crystallographic shapes, so a constraint-based illustrator would be ideal. I've never understood why the ideas behind Ivan Sutherland's Sketchbook have never seemed to make it into existing drawing packages.)

If your don't want to, you don't have to upgrade your Jetbrains IDEs, so that seems more in line with the old "upgrade when you want to" mode. Except for licencing, of course.

Oh totally true, I’m not expecting them to. I just think this could be a way to pick some of the low hanging fruit: users who want easy sign-in on sites that don’t want to roll their own IDP. Right now that niche is filled with the multicolored array of “sign in with FB, Google, MS, GitHub, Steam, LinkedIn, Apple”. This would be a way to add an extra option of “sign in with ENS” that would offer the benefit of not including tracking or any association at all with a particular company.

Maybe not that many people would use it, but unlike a lot of other crypto stuff, this doesn’t require universal buy-in in order to be marginally useful to the people who do use it.

The generosity of Apple's support during Steve's era was unparalleled. It created a great deal of goodwill for the company within the iPhone/Mac community. Like you said, supports now is delayed, difficult, rigid, and merciless.

Somewhere along the line, Apple forgot that its retail stores and support were products in and of themselves.
> And ENS works now, it’s the kind of thing you could just go ahead and add to a web app you’re working on without having to wait for “the tech to arrive” or anything.

What they don't tell you is that every single operation for every dApp on Ethereum, the gas fess make using this totally useless, which mean you have no choice but to tell others to wait for 'the gas fees to go down'. Rendering it useless.

Everyone knows that every operation is so expensive, that you cannot use Ethereum to pay for your groceries; making it totally useless in general since everyone needs to eat. Not even the other L2, ZK contraptions are ready or are even optimised enough to be useful so that isn't an option despite the hype around it.

Seems more like a centralised domain registrar contract having a sub-domain on .eth (collides with Ethiopia's three letter TLD) on an expensive blockchain controlled by so-called 'trusted' key-holders.

Some small but important details about the product architecture that's changed over time somewhat:

- The antenna is sticking out of the ear, while the densest components are deeper in the ear, making them more stable. Now the battery is in the ear and PCB is out of the ear.

- They've added large external mesh over the world-facing mic to reduce windnoise during phone calls. This creates a sort of turbulence that prevents acoustic howling. The air is channeled into a secondary chamber before reaching the mic.

- The airpods had two Infrared Detectors to prevent being spoofed when resting on the table.

- the cases moved from a resistive magnetic hinge to an over-center spring hinge, that's why the newer cases feel less satisfying and fidgety.
> If the price of Bitcoin had been stable for a decade, and it worked reliably, it would be a useful medium of exchange, but nobody would care. This is all about MAKE MONEY FAST.

Your counterfactual is nonsense. There is no world where Bitcoin remains stable for a decade. It's precisely the nature of Bitcoin that it either eats a large fraction of global monetary value or ends up close to zero. Bitcoin's existence provides the purest possible application of Gresham's law. The price of Bitcoin reflects the imputed probability of bitcoin eating monetary value, as well as the fraction it ends up eating.

> all this stuff is zero-sum

Bitcoin is positive-sum if you believe in the benefits of sound money, but yes, people who are net dollar bagholders (e.g. US govt and people with US govt debt) will lose wealth if Bitcoin successfully demonetizes the dollar. It would probably be wise to hedge against this scenario by balancing long dollar positions with long Bitcoin positions.

> Mining HNT with Hotspots is done via radio technology, not expensive or wasteful GPUs.

> Hotspots work together to form a new global wireless network and undertake ‘Proof-of-Coverage’.

Okay that's actually quite clever. I've previously wondered why no one has tried a similar idea for wired networks, implementing "Proof of possession of IPv4 address". It may be possible for a nation state to take control of a large IP range for some short period of time, but I don't think it's plausible that even conspiring adversaries could control 51% of the internet for a week without anyone noticing.
> Whereas in the standard european system, either cars going left are stopped in a dedicated lane, or pedestrians are waiting for the cars that are going left to finish.

We have this in the US as well, but only at more-busy intersections that warrant a dedicated left-turn signal arrow. Pedestrians who could get hit by left-turning cars are given a don't-walk sign while the left arrow is green.

I suspect that blockchains won’t need to reference external data to be useful.

If the data on chain becomes valuable enough, an ecosystem of open source, auditable programs operating on it seems powerful to me.

And yeah tx fees are facemeltingly expensive right now, but scalability tech is making gradual progress.
It may be a kneejerk reaction combined with me being very rurally located for work for these past 4 years, I think there are 3 traffic lights within a 45 minute drive and none of them will show red and green at the same time except in separate lanes when straight is red and left has a green.

Helium comes the closest to being "actually potentially useful" of all the cryptocurrency gobbledygook.

But, amusingly re: your point that it could be done in a centralized way: recently my wife's (sigh) Helium miner stopped working for a few days because... centralized stuff failed!

So as far as I can tell, it's a bit of huckster speculation on top of a centralized protocol. Which, theoretically, might one day compensate random people for putting up 20 watt transmitters to spread ultra-low-bandwidth internet access around (right now we get compensated in VC-funded scrip aimed at expanding the network).

Not terrible, but the crypto bits do seem only lightly glued on top of the basic business proposition.
Now that's solid analysis right there.
In Warehouse/Workshop Model

1. Warehouse as the center:

It can easily dump/persistence/log the global state to analyze systemic failures.

2. Workshop:

2.2. The workshops are all independent pipelines(pure functions), which can be developed in parallel to improve the development speed of the project.

That's not abuse. Reversing consumer/producer calling protocols (i.e. reversing caller/callee relationship) is exactly the fundamental purpose of generators and coroutines. It's a useful insight, nonetheless, for those exploring the fundamental problem and solution space regarding concurrency and, more generally, the reification of execution flow.

>(1) has no I/O functions

There are I/O functions - oracles like Chainlink which put real-world data on the Blockchain. Those can also be further decentralized or at minimum used only for services where you have to trust a centralized entity without having to exit the Blockchain just for that. Those already enable me to e.g. quickly bet on TSLA via synths with money I have in crypto without cashing out and going through a broker.

>(2) has enormous costs associated with even the most basic of computations.

On one of the chains (Ethereum) but there's plenty of other popular chains with much lower costs.

Did IoT really fizzle out though? In my mind it just became more mainstream expected. Yes, silly things like connected refrigerators / toasters / whatever were a gimmick but the watch I'm wearing, the earphones I'm wearing, the scale on my bathroom floor, the blood pressure cuff under my sink – so many of the things I use each day are now connected (sometimes indirectly) to the Internet and it really is just "normal."

It might be more to do with stop signs, driver training/tests and poor visibility.

SF has lots of stop signs, technically a pedestrian barely has to look. And cars don't expect there to be pedestrians.
(Generally, they are so annoying drivers have little respect for full stop signs, and speed up aggressively)

Also the US has notoriously poor driver training and tests. I failed my driver license tests twice in Denmark because for failure turn my head and look out for pedestrians I knew weren't there :)
(It teaches drivers when and where to look).

SF also has a habit of allowing street parking really close to intersections. In general street parking is bad for visibility as drivers can't see pedestrians. But in particular around intersections in SF you frequently aren't visible as a pedestrian waiting to cross.

Anyways, that's what I felt was sketchy about traffic living in SF.

In Denmark I do lots of left turns and pedestrians isn't an issue, probably because I know they have a green light. And I've been taught to look out.
