It’s weird to me they approve futures based ETFs, that are terrible for investors seeking BTC exposure (lose money due to roll), and approve closed end funds like GBTC that are also worse for investors due to inability to track spot price (its been stuck in a serious discount for nearly a year, prior to that it was in a massive premium, both have screwed plenty of people who bought it). But somehow an actual plain, direct, spot ETF that can provide redemptions to authorized participants is the one that’s not allowed.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/807119/gzip-versus-minif...
Right, I didn't think of the compliance angle. In my case the leadership justification is that doing timesheets "saves us money on taxes." Given how much most of us dislike doing the timesheets I thought it would be nice if they told us exactly how much that savings is, and if a large number possibly we would all be more enthusiastic about doing them.

Yet, it is true.

It is theoretically possible that the "string theory landscape" explorers are onto something. But so long as they are not predicting results of experiments, they are not doing science.

Nobody is obliged to be a scientist; they could move over to the philosophy department, if it would take them. Or the mathematics department. Likewise, nobody is morally obliged to pay people claiming to be scientists to do something that is not science. But our institutions don't have an "in case of emergency break glass" red button, so these scientists no longer doing science still get to teach classes, attend conferences, and publish vacuous papers, and appear to be doing their job. They also get to award (or not award) doctorates, gatekeep journals and conferences, and control tenure-track appointments.

A similar process is going on among Alzheimer Syndrome researchers. They still publish papers on amyloids and taus and stuff to block making them, despite it having been demonstrated to anybody's satisfaction that this is a dead end. They still approve those papers, and still teach and award doctorates. They even, somehow, got the FDA to approve an extraordinarily expensive drug that does nothing, but that Medicare will be obliged to subsidize. (At worst it's harmless? Must we go there?)

In academia we are disinclined to nip apparent dead ends in the bud, because so often what some thought unpromising lines of work turned out to lead somewhere important. But when nobody is even trying anymore to get to anywhere important, it eventually comes time to pull the plug. The alternative is to end up with a department writing commentaries on commentaries on the writings of figures who were close to the Prophet.
well, 1 = -1*-1

Nobody is saying what Facebook did is illegal. We are simply saying that this is an obvious case of bad censorship, in a long line of facebook being a subpar censor, and that you should re-evaluate if you as a person want to do business with facebook because they will simply take down your posts wrongfully with no real appeals process unless you are famous.
The process requires typing a note using the keyboard and then pushing the new/revised text to git. Git works on every computer and CPU architecture that I have used... and I have used a wider variety than most.

If one's parents are the acceptance testers for usability... I think I might recommend that they use something that they understand fully. That might be git, but it might also be a Moleskin notebook and an ink or graphite writing instrument. ^_^

While this is technically true it's quite misleading. The VM itself uses cooperative scheduling, but the Erlang compiler emits something akin to yields appropriately, such the net effect is preemptive scheduling. You can break it by calling a NIF that doesn't do the yields appropriately, but that's not the norm.
QOI is designed with a very specific purpose in mind, which is fast decoding for games. This kind of image will be very unlikely be large enough to benefit from multi threading, and if you have a lot of them you can simply decode in parallel. It’s not meant to the the “best” image format.

I wouldn't cite this as an example of "oppression", but it's certainly a prominent egg on Facebook's collective face. With their resources, one would think they could make a model do better than label "Merry Christmas" as "discriminatory message". Unless they just don't care - and then conservative Christian minority has a valid basis for complaints.
I would include general crypto tokens in web3. Though monero is not exactly “WWW” which maybe some people think is what web3 is on?

The only reason I mention monero is that it’s one of the only cryptos that is not vaporware (it isn’t hyped up based on some as-yet unimplemented capabilities) and has real world uses (digital cash. Battle tested, most popular token for tx on the dark web). You can also imagine that instead of being used on the dark web, it can be used to route around oppressive regimes or evade censorship. It’s permissionless and anonymous which is a unique combo for payment systems. It also has a decent online ecosystem for onboarding from fiat at localmonero.co
The listing of alternatives in the README really should be standard practice for open source projects. OTOH, some maintainers don't like to do that when they haven't evaluated the projects. Perhaps they could still add them with a disclaimer though.
Let's be clear about what has happened here though - Dorsey saved Twitter when he first returned, but he completely failed to run it as a business. No monetization, anemic growth and a complete failure to become a real competitor in the sector. Every other comparable tech company grew massively over the last 6 years and Twitter is basically the same value it was when he came back as CEO. And also let's remember why he is stepping down - this only came after investors came in and said "Hey, you've done a bad job, we need someone new"- and not for nothing, the 6 years of lack of value matched 6 years of failure to innovate. His criticism might be genuine, but at the same time, he was in charge. It's difficult to beleive him when suddenly the week after he lost responsibilty, he gained a vision for how to fix twitter.

Your cheap jab says more about your lack of imagination about potential use-cases than about whatever shortcomings the technology has at the moment.

Okta is a multi-billion business and could also be characterized as "an expensive way to replace JWTs". Authz/authn is one of the most common use cases that every application developer needs to implement. How much would you like to bet that in 5 years time NFT-based authn/authz will be bigger than Okta's market?
> the only reason to buy GOOG or AMZN is the hope that you can sell that stock down the line to a "greater fool".

No, that's not correct. When you buy a share of a publicly traded company (or a private one, for that matter), you are literally buying a fraction of their cash on hand, a fraction of their business operations, a fraction of their trademarks, a fraction of their inventory, and so on. You own part of the company.

The difference with cryptocurrency is that people ditched the entire ownership of anything and replaced it with just a token. It's like if you took a company, hollowed out every single thing that made it valuable, and sold the shares as novelty stock.

Anyone suggesting that stocks are just fun tokens that people trade back and forth doesn't understand what stock actually means. I think this misconception is very popular in the cryptocurrency world because it justifies the existence of tokens and crypto coins that aren't actually backed by anything of value. If you're convinced that nothing matters and it's all just tokens anyway, you're more likely to be persuaded to invest in crypto tokens and shun the stock market.
Of course you're right - but drugs usually do deliver the benefits espoused (if often at a Faustian price). Your two statements are a shade oxymoronic.

Addictive habits form suddenly, but not immediately. Every drug requires a period of optional, regular, and increasing use before dependency develops. (Some, like nicotine, can have rapid dependency onset. Others take 6 or more months of intermittent use before withdrawal threatens).

This non-dependent yet regular use is usually driven by genuine (subjective) benefit to the user - euphoria or focus, amnesia or nescience, etc.

This is the essence of the word "drug": if inactive we say supplement, snake oil, homeopathic, etc.

Pharmacology _is_ somewhat magic - absurdly improbable in a way reality, and human endeavor, often is (see: organ transplants, the bioengineered mutant grass known as maize/corn).
In my last couple years in college they started doing more recorded lectures. Most felt pretty good at 1.5x speed. But there was one professor that I was so glad that 3x was an option.
Is this more a matter of preference? Some people feel it is more expressive, others feel it is too verbose. Some people prefer the object oriented design principles, others are turned off by them and really just want structs.

I agree the single file argument is not extremely convincing. Especially because engineers are often on Mac on Windows machine and compiling for Linux. While Go does support this, as soon as you have to use a c library dependency (in my experience this was sqlite), then we had to start compiling in the environment we wanted. Easy to solve with docker but deployment wasn't the reason I like Go.

I should spend some time thinking about why but overall I just "feel" more productive with Go vs Java (including Kotlin). Go's standard library, docs (with links to the source code), everything just feels super readable and understandable.

I don't see much debate agains Go using less memory. I can confirm this was my experience as well. My experience is that it uses a lot less CPU as well.
It says a lot about our work culture when leaving at 5pm is considered setting your boss's expectations "low".

I think the original point still stands. When the application tries to handle memory pressure itself by writing data structures to disk, it will hit the case where the kernel has already paged that memory out, has to reload it, only to write it to disk and free the memory afterwards.

I've burnt out before and lost motivation. It's horrible. I'd much rather buy into the company vision as much as possible.

In the last 4 years (I intentionally include the 2 years before COVID), I have had at least one side of every multi-connection across the pond itinerary destroyed by either AA or UA. That is, delays longer than 12 hrs, advances of start of travel by 6hrs while making the trip overall 18hrs longer. UA has, several times, degraded our friends' return itineraries in the same way less than 12 hours before travel; can't easily cancel. On BA I had a just fine economy+ window seat LHR->PHX destroyed by an at-the-gate reseating to the aisle center bulkhead next to 2 children that screamed and kicked the seats the entire flight. Thanks to the goddess for Bose earphones.

Well that time the BA 747 blew an engine on take-off and we circled the desert for an hour, dumping fuel until landing back at PHX, to a ground stopped airport with emergency vehicles lining the entire runway? Well, I can't fault that too much, we did make it down. One does wonder about maintenance, tbh. The 24hr delay didn't seem like the most important detail.

It is so bad that we have begun contemplating the notion of eliminating our 3-4 weeks of EU vacation a year, then buying a big blue-water catamaran and start sailing it for our adventures. Since we are absolutely in love with many EU cities this is a drastic change for us.

So yeah, commercial air travel is very unreliable. Safety is good, but not the only mandatory criteria.

Ah yes, very fresh anecdotage: we were taking sailing lessons last week and one of our classmates is an AA flight attendant. Confirmed all of the above and it happens to them too.

While I agree that sheltering its readers from their ideological enemies is not a good thing, I do think there should be a minimal standard of non-drivel-tude.

If time permits, I highly suggest to listen to the full hearing congress did on cryptocurrencies two weeks ago [1].

It did seem to me that a good portion of congressman/woman were in favor of new rules for the industry and its interactions with the traditional financial system. Most were concerned about keeping the dominance of the USD long term on the global financial system.

People have a hard on for seeing profit. It’s like they don’t understand the opportunity cost of taking profit means you are not investing in your business to make bigger profit. When I see profit, I see inefficiency. A young business should have zero profit until it can no longer grow.
This is how you ruin remote work for everyone. Remote work is about trust.
One thing I used to like about old Twitter was Favstar which used the Twitter API to help you find the funniest tweets, accounts, etc. You could reward tweet of the day etc. Twitter is much more of a closed box now and it's a little harder to find your community.
> FB biases are too extreme. The best thing for FB is to be broken up.

That's a non sequitur. Breaking up FB will not de-bias "the algorithm". We'd have one company doing VR, one doing phone calls, one doing image sharing, and finally a company running the old social network with the exact same recommendation and content-moderation system.

Unrelated to the rest of your comment, but risc-v does not have variable-length instructions. It has compressed instructions, but they're designed in such a way to be easily and efficiently integrated into the decoder for normal instructions, which are all 32 bits.

One thing to note is that QOI composes really nicely with high quality entropy encoders like LZ4 and ZSTD. LZ4 gives a roughly 5% size reduction with negligible speed impact, and ZSTD gives a 20% size reduction with moderate speed impact (https://github.com/nigeltao/qoi2-bikeshed/issues/25).

Yep, restricting things to coming from the outside might be more of a realistic challenge. I think I had a more academic version of the question in mind. Seems like we already have tech that is designed to handle a certain degree of pure randomness. For example, we have error-checked RAM.

Not to mention that working two jobs poorly is a lot more work and a lot less money than boostrapping a decent SaaS

EDIT: Pretty rich that I'm getting downvoted so much, despite multiple examples of successful SaaS creators showing up in the comments, and this being a forum started by a VC partly to promote and encourage tech startups. If you think that starting a tech business is so impossibly difficult that you're personally offended at the idea of someone recommending you do it, I'd say you should just go back to Reddit or Twitter.

If you're bristling at me calling SaaS "easy", I just meant it's easier than running a multi-year scam and probably committing fraud, depending on the details of your employment contracts.
Not only conversatives. Liberals are also upset about vaccines misinformation, election fraud, etc.
My point is that you have to 'train' the AI models somehow. FB introduces its own 'biases' on those models. They admitted this 'mistake' only because it affected a Canadian MP, otherwise I don't think they would have this for you or I. Their 'discrimation' policies are too broad for an automated system.
FB exhorts too much power over information.
In all honesty, the Shadowban was the worst thing they ever did...

I've had 3 accounts, 1 of which has been stuck at sub 130 users for over 10 years of posting, no matter what I've tried. That would be f*ing impossible on any platform that truly fosters creativity and even a scrap of post equality/fairness. There is also absolutely no indication nor procedure for contesting a limited status placed on social accounts on platforms like Twitter, it's all done in secret, which adds insult to injury.

Truth is, the minute you mention anything now that is remotely perceived as critical of a platform on the platform, a switch is flipped that prevents you from building anything positive within that community.

Tech sufferers greatly from a "God Complex" syndrome, and it's exactly what will prevent it from getting better. Even the largest social platforms are not insulated from bad leadership being accountable, and frankly, that's the reason why things really die a slow death these days.

Since I decided to just bolster my own site, I get reliable growth, and metrics... Focusing on my own site is a lot less stressful than relying on the gaslighting and unexplained "growth-hobbling" that is now far too typical on social sites...
Good advice even for one job--whether remote or in-person. Why put in 30% more effort, when you are not getting paid 30% more. That's why stick to the average pace of your team.

I use Goaccess too for simple things, but I've found that it's not really suitable if you want to compare stats of different months or years, or look into specific week.

This is because goaccess aggregates reports to single HTML file. If you give it a year of logs, it compresses whole year in one graph. It didn't seem to have interactive way to explore whole year.

Most people don't care and just generate monthly HTML report file, but that has same flaws as yearly file.
That's not surprising. QOI is heavily optimized for images which tend to be relatively continuous, while audio tends to oscillate a ton.
