> The new generation Blockchains like Solana and Avalance are far better than Ethereum.

There is only one metric that matters and that's users on your platform. I like Solana and am somewhat neutral on Avalanche but they just dno't have the users, or developers or ecosystem that Eth has.

If they were truly better then they'd be winning. So far the users have voted with their dollars and developers have voted with their time and claimed Eth is better.

I hold alot of SOL, but atleast ETH is decentralized. SOL is very much centralized both in terms of ownership and in terms of nodes.

I mean, they managed to get all nodes to shutdown in a coordinated manner a month ago. I was fine shutting my node down but it was strange that all node owners could get together in a discord group and make that decisions in under an hour.
>I wonder how much of it relies on exploitation of regulatory latency

All of it, is my guess. In cities where Uber was regulated, it lost to the already existing taxi system.
The V8 isolates used by Deno Deploy and Cloudflare Workers are also promising in that regard. It doesn‘t get much lighter then that.
When you do that, you'll find that people at 25-35 , XX years ago, held significantly higher share of total wealth than now.
I'm pretty happy with spacemacs with lsp-ccls for c++ development now. vscode had all kinds of weird bugs with its intellisense for me but lsp-ccls has been working great.
Locking letters are still useful for slowly-defined long-distance (or long delayed) coordination of planning a future covert activity.

If the lock is broken, then assessment is made to determine alteration of such planning (over long distance).

Socially, it would be useful in leaking rumors or revealing blackmail for others to know that such info were given to them in confidence.
The issue is probably the strength of the structures involved.

Charles Lieber is not Chinese. So what is your point?

On a more general note:

Your style of argument is really tired. Who is going to commit wrongdoing on the part of the Chinese government if not mostly Chinese people? You can always try to reframe the issue as one of discrimination, since most of the offenders are bound to be Chinese. It’s pointless.

IMO the problems of living in space are so numerous that unless we can seriously come up with a good general solution for artificial gravity we probably shouldn’t even bother with the idea of being in space for anything longer than a flight to some celestial body. Why has it taken so long?
Recession? Absurd. We have never had anything like BTC before. I can buy more widgets with BTC this year than the year before, and repeat. I expect that I will be able to buy more widgets in future. I see no recession.

In that sense, HAVING and WHERE being different is basically a "free" subquery without allowing subqueries.

One inner σ (WHERE) and one outer σ (HAVING).

If subqueries are allowed, then you don't need that.
The one and two-dose vaccines produced no measurable level of antibodies in nearly all of the hundreds of thousands of organ recipients in the US. A third dose produced some measurable response in about 40% of people as per a Johns Hopkins study. My Dad luckily had some response from a third shot. I got the Pfizer two shot and a booster and I wear a mask daily when indoors to prevent the spread and creation of new variants to protect others.
Pinterest is a hate/love relationship. Sometimes it's like a kind of archive of things which have disappeared on other sites (imagine certain clothes you cannot buy anymore). I actually like that they really make a copy of the content. But of course this is totally non tech related.
DDL is a bit curious, because it’s less a programming language and more of a set of configuration and operational commands. It just happens to look similar to DQL, but there’s nothing really pushing that beyond the fact that DDL can rely on DQL as a subexpression (eg create view as …). You could probably say the relationship between DQL and DDL is largely aesthetic

The only reason I can think of where you often can’t strictly treat DQL and DDL as totally different languages is the just from the total lack of interest in consistency in SQL language design generally — eg update and delete steal parts of DML syntax haphazardly and differently; the syntax for update/delete data referring to another table

UPDATE table WHERE … JOIN …

vs

DELETE FROM table USING …

The lack of complexity in DDL generally (its very wide, but not very deep; there’s not much meaningful composition to be discussed) and its lack of a real relationship to DQL is probably why no one discusses it much
We can. It's been written about for decades. It's just expensive.
I agree with the thrust of this article, especially this line:

"For a long time I felt somewhat unique in this regard, but COVID has made my longstanding reality the norm for many more people. Their physical world is defined by their family and hometown, which no longer needs to be near their work, which is entirely online; everything from friends to entertainment has followed the same path."

The unbundling of physical and digital reality is certainly happening, but I also think new forms of rebundling are also happening. Before COVID, I would never dream of calling my daughter in the next room, but now I do it all the time - not (only) because I am lazy, but because the call or text is less intrusive than knocking on the door and therefore has better UX.

To see what's happening as only:

1) "the real world is the combination of the digital world and the physical world and that the real world is not just the physical world."

or

2) "the Metaverse is the set of experiences that are completely online, and thus defined by their malleability and scalability"

is to downplay the combinatorial possibilities of dis-aggregating and recombining the digital and the physical. It feels to me that a certain 'computational style' is becoming widespread tacit knowledge and shouldn't be identified only with the digital/online/virtual.

You're approaching this at too low a level. SQL is a 4th generation language, quite possibly the only successful 4GL. Unlike every other major language, it doesn't deal with "how" you get the answer. You see the "how" with commands like EXPLAIN. Instead it focuses on "what" you want and letting the engine figure out how to get there.

Optional<Foo> lends itself well to functional programming and prevents things like null pointer errors, but that's still at 3GL level, the EXPLAIN level. SQL doesn't throw null pointer exceptions. Ever. The query syntax is correct or it isn't. The same concerns in a programmatic language simply do not apply, which is why Optional<Foo> is a poor fit in this context.

Null in SQL is not the null in JavaScript or C++. Same name, but not the same animal, and I think this is what trips folks up. In your mind, replace SQL's null with a new keyword, UNKNOWN, and it makes more logical sense.

SELECT ... FROM ...
WHERE x = UNKNOWN;

Even if x were UNKNOWN in a row, is it the same unknown? For example, if you see two girls, but you don't know their birthdays. Their birthdays are unknown.

WHERE Keasha.birthday = Cynthia.birthday

This partial statement would always be false no matter what until you know both of their actual ages. Just because something is unknown doesn't mean it's the same unknown.

Set theory, not a programmatic series of steps as found in most languages. And that's what SQL is: a DSL for set theory.

I believe it's advantageous to avoid nullable columns in relational schema design, but that's a separate issue from the concept of NULL in SQL as distinct from programmatic languages.

I rented a Ford Edge two months ago that had one. It was quite distracting. At the end of a week, I still hadn't internalized how it worked. I had to think about it every time.

On my old Chevrolet Tahoe, I can tell what gear I just shifted into by feel (shifting into D, it has a slight tendency to overshoot the normal overdrive mode and end up locked into 3rd). And of course, this is essentially a nonissue on manual transmissions.

tldr; it varies from company to company.

In my experience the more senior you get the more like an organizational therapist you are expected to become. Instead of writing code you're helping engineering teams and executives communicate, fixing communication silos, writing specifications and requirements, reviewing progress on large multi-team features, and generally trying to move the ball on big-picture projects that span multiple feature teams/code-bases/etc.

This kind of work needs high-functioning social skills, excellent written communication skills, an ability to understand a large problem domain and all of the organizational levers you need to move to get it done. You'll also need to be able to tolerate long feedback cycles as the projects you take on will probably take months to see the light of day and you won't be writing the software yourself most of the time. At most I've seen engineers at this level write prototypes or reference implementations. Some enjoy it while others quickly learn that staying at a senior level was probably better for them.
The only way would be the removal of the NY bit license. It prevents many NY people from engaging with many markets and services.
Superficially yes, but in actuality it would be very different due to the context surrounding academic papers vs. Reddit.

Organizationally speaking, Reddit is a dumpster fire; check out the 'search' function (I'm just speaking on a taxonomical/categorization perspective, I can't speak to their dev practices).

Academic papers aren't. (They're a dumpster fire in their own ways: The replication crisis and the lack of publishing negative results comes to mind, but damn if they aren't all organized!)

There's two key differences:

1.) Academic papers have other supporting metadata that could combine with the more in-depth citation information to offer clear improvements to the discovery process. Imagine being able to click on a MeSH term and then see, in order, what every paper published on that topic in the past year recommends you read. I also think improving citation information would do a lot to make research more accessible for students.

2.) Reddit's system lets anybody with an account upvote or downvote. Given you don't even need an email address to make a Reddit account, there's functionally zero quality control for expressing an opinion. For academic publications, there is a quality control process (albeit an imperfect one). If only 5 people in the world understand a given topic, it's really helpful to be able to see THEIR votes: If they all 'downvote' a paper that would suggest it's wrong.
I feel like the summary of the whole article could be "important and/or impactful stuff". Saved you a click and a "you have 1 Medium article left" banner.

The definition bullets will probably be highly dependent on the company and while companies will likely copy those, they are likely not even transferable within a company, let alone across different companies.

For example, within company A, Mike is a manager that is a perfectionist leading a Java EE mid-sized application. Mike is hard on himself and is hard on his people. His people are probably underpaid, and that's how he likes it. Getting to a senior level is difficult. Getting above is political.

Within company A, Janet is a manager leading a relatively recent PaaS offering. She likes nimble, agile teams. She rewards quick thinking, wants her team to be satisfied, and gives her team yearly stock options because she doesn't want anyone to leave. Getting to a senior level is fairly manage-able after 1 to 2 years, provided one is viewed as a senior. Getting above is doable, provided one has peer support.

Now, company B is a consulting company that wants to offer "senior" engineers for $1000+/hour. They never hire anyone with the title "junior" (not even fresh grads) and promote practically everyone after 8-16 months to a senior title. Principal level is then another 6-8 months away, but they have very few of those due to insane attrition rates by that point.
50% compared to what? AWS EC2? Lambda? Google Cloud Run?

Beyond just titles for pay reasons:

Principal Software Engineers are essentially the Engineer Owner of a solution or closely related set of solutions.

They're expected to know the ins and outs of the solution both at a business level ('Hey, Principal, how much would it cost and how long would it take to do 'x'?' -- Some Sales Person), and have responsibility for the solution's engineering ('Two months? Great! See you at the February demo for the users group!' -- Some Sales Person), and be able to solve the more difficult engineering issues that crop up ('The app you promised to integrate with by February only uses SOAP and consists of around 14,000 on-prem installs...I graduated after the year 2000 so I'm not sure how SOAP works, can you walk me through this 'wizdal' thing?' -- Some Senior Engineer that you asked to look into the new project).

It is easy and correct to critize that Lunduke's video. But the main point behind is that Linux project is becoming more corporatey, more windowsey and less user friendly and less small business friendly. New Linux drivers can't run perfectly fine 10 year old hardware (RAID cards, GPU cards) and users are forced to stay on old versions, or keep buying new hardware they don't need. That is not user or community friendly. But it is how Microsoft operates.
It's not always easy to bypass the cloud, especially when you have to deal with things like GDPR and host client data in their respective region.

>It may be time to admit that general purpose search engines are fundamentally broken

I've been saying that since I first heard someone pitching SEO while eating lunch. Once you start gaming an index for visibility, Tragedy of the Commons goes into full swing, and the Yellow Pages ironically become a truer representation of actual local state. To this day, the memory of that...individual just going on and on casually talking pitching about what is no less than intentional pollution of the search structure of the collective knowledge of human still causes a hot nugget of incandescent rage and disgust deep within my soul. Before now, the thought of forgiving them has never entered my mind before now, and in this minute is quickly dismissed. I didn't know the person, they were themselves probably just trying to get by best they knew how. But I just can't seem to let it go. Poisoning the well like that... It either requires the most appalling sense of shallow callousness, profound ignorance, or a complete disregard for the integrity of our species' collective informational output. It's the burning of the Library of Alexandria by way of Salesman vying for attention. As time goes on the disgust only becomes becomes more pointed as the practice is normalized and refined to the point the way information is organized and made accessible on the Internet makes a bigger statement on what society really values than the indexed content itself does.

I'd normally say live and let live, but I'm getting increasingly bothered by the suffering and extra cognitive load foisted on the world by ads, marketing, etc..., and the lack of societal wherewithal to push back and say enough is enough.

> Is it possible that everyone has "aphantasia" but some people confuse remembering having seen something with actually seeing it?

Memory doesn't necessarily play a part. I can close my eyes and watch imaginary movies, imagine cartoons, artwork, or really any kind of scene I can think of, and it's just like watching a video except that it takes some mental effort to maintain the scene and draw up the details.

I think it's interesting that the author of the article suggested that aphantasia might be a strength for thinking about highly abstract things. I've found that I can work well with software because I can visualize it like an engine or a system of pipes and machines, but I cannot for the life of me do algebra. I recently was trying to go through an algebra II book when I realized I was constantly trying to visualize the equations and failing. That constant "failing to start" of my visual imagination was both distracting and tiring, and led me to quickly give up. For this reason I think there are definitely advantages for both types of thinking.
Maybe! Probably not that solution since it would penalize academics who are having a long-standing but intellectually productive disagreement.

I think it'd be hard to math out right now since the skill doesn't exist in the departments who'd be doing the work, but in 20 years who knows?
Hetzner would probably be the perfect working space for you. They build all of their servers by hand on custom racks. You can move around in 14+ buildings in Falkenstein, manage cables, fix servers, work on their cloud offering, ...

That's part of what's made COVID so difficult to manage - it's a new virus being fought with relatively new vaccine technology. Most of us are used to doctors giving us advice that's pretty stable and based on decades of research. But, in this case, most doctors don't have that much more information than what's being reported in the media (but they have a clinical background that helps interpret the results generally better than the public). Further, your doctor is going through the same emotional hurdles you're going through (e.g., wanting to get back to normal asap).

Jab count probably does matter, but I'm not sure anybody definitely knows how this plays out with these vaccines specifically (and, nobody can predict how the vaccines will respond to yet-unknown variants). In general, multiple exposures can impact antibody durability, the amount and types of antibodies you produce and even cause changes to the antigens your body will respond to. These aren't unique mRNA issues -- immunity issues exist with all types of vaccines.

So, it's great you're getting your third shot. It's probably safe to assume there'll be more shots in the future; what/when those future shots are isn't known... any specifics you get from anybody right now is just their guess.
> What most people don’t know is: Gas fees on Ethereum are supposed to be high. The goal for Etheruem is not to be the chain most consumers transact on. It’s to be the settlement layer for a number of other chains sitting on top of it, which can run much faster and much cheaper, because they’re backed by Ethereum’s security and infrastructure. In other words: the consensus layer for a variety of networks.

Is there is source where Vitalik states this? Is this was the case then why bother creating Eth2?

I'm just surprised to see that someone else knows about ‘Golden Boy’. It rides such a wacky edge between the mainstream and the weird that it's difficult to imagine an audience for it. Probably the only reason I've seen it is because in the early 2000s I and some people here watched just everything anime, whole hdds of the stuff. Now I just vaguely remember a couple of popular series, plus ‘Golden Boy’ and ‘Lunatic Night’.

Need to rewatch it one of these days, it's already on the watch-list.

Faster? I really want to know how you can have servers, with all the required networking, and all the associated and easily accessible redundancy ( multi-DC or multi region) faster than a few clicks and max 5 minutes wait time. Not to mention the managed services, how long does it take even for an experienced SRE, to setup a production-ready (with backups, monitoring, HA, etc.) RabbitMQ/database/whatever cluster?

AWS is much easier to use than a DIY infrastructure, unless significant resources are invested in that DIY infrastructure.
My daughter is three and over the course of her life she has had perhaps 5 happy meals. One every six months on average.

She's not obese, a little underweight for her height in fact. I use it as a reward. It's a experience for her, the drive thru, eating with me, playing with the toy.

The best thing about it is it's affordable and she will actually eat the food.

Why is this a bad thing that needs to be regulated away?

A friend of mine spent much time on MUD[1] servers playing and interacting with strangers. The game theme was fantasy-ish.

As he moved through the large world of the server he would repeatedly encounter people who asked him if he was a seer (Sehender, in German). For a while he thought that this is some trait or role that you can have in the game.

Turned out, though, that being a seer means that your eyes work as they do for most people in the world. And that was less common on this server to have than not. Many people with impared vision played there, using screen readers.

Hence, instead of talking of blind people, this place shifted to talking about seers, while visual impairment was normal :) And I do believe that this majority of players had a much better visual image of the world they're playing in than those staring at a wall of ASCII.

Unfortunately, I don't know what server that was. But I assume that MUDs gain some of their continued popularity from there.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MUD
A MUD (/mʌd/; originally multi-user dungeon, with later variants multi-user dimension and multi-user domain)[1][2] is a multiplayer real-time virtual world, usually text-based. MUDs combine elements of role-playing games, hack and slash, player versus player, interactive fiction, and online chat. Players can read or view descriptions of rooms, objects, other players, non-player characters, and actions performed in the virtual world. Players typically interact with each other and the world by typing commands that resemble a natural language.
