I think NFTs are bullshit, but I don't think the "And more than one receipt can be minted for that card" is as much of a problem as people think it is.

For example, it wouldn't be hard for an artist to publish a video saying "Hey folks, this is my public key, and these are the NFTs for these pieces of art", and then publish that video in multiple forums like Twitter, YouTube, etc. Then if someone tried to come up with different NFTs for the same pieces of art, the NFT holder could just point to the video (and, as you say, if the artist was malicious and tried to dupe his own NFTs, the earlier one would win).

This kind of "identity validation" is all over the cryptography space already - that's basically how Keybase proofs work. Heck, lots of HN commenters put their proofs in their HN account signatures.
Most applications are not intrinsically I/O bound, it is only an artifact of the scale of wastefulness and inefficiency in how they use I/O. Even databases are no longer I/O bound except at the extremes -- memory bandwidth is likely a bigger bottleneck if the I/O is handled competently.

Software being "I/O bound" stopped being a legitimate excuse for the vast majority of applications many years ago. Hardware and software has moved on.

That depends. A lot of people who say you "just get too high" often have a super low tolerance, and they are smoking enough to get shit faced. If you smoke frequently and only do a puff, trust me, not everybody gets as high as you do with your one edible a month. I work at a top tech company smoking before work, it really only relaxes me at this point, however I smoked weed since 14.
Yes, and so is the new Flamanville reactor. It's funny: out of the fifty or so commercial nuclear reactors that came online in the past decade, for some reason those still-under-construction debacles are the only ones most people have heard about.
That’s fine, but in many cases people believe these are investment instruments rather than seeing them as a donation. If these purveyors made it clear these were Donations, then yeah, that’s okay.

Maybe Wikipedia can sell NFYs to “articles” and avoid the donation button?

I just assumed it does. I’d be surprised if it wasn’t.
For application code, you can change the behavior of Rust panics. Although I haven't verified this myself, I fully expect that you can achieve saving a document and exiting gracefully.

The distinction is that panicking should (almost) never be used for recoverable errors. You can, but that's not idiomatic and would only be appropriate within the confines of your own application. Recoverable errors in Rust should be handled by return values, typically via either Result or Option.

This is unlike all the other options I listed (except Go, and C++ with exceptions disabled), where it is idiomatic to use exceptions to handle recoverable errors.

In theory, (strictly) checked exceptions are equivalent (isomorphic) to error codes as an error handling mechanism. But as soon as unchecked exceptions are allowed, it all falls apart and you must contend with the problem of "invisible control flow". Not having to deal with "invisible control flow" in Rust is one of the things that makes me much more confident that the code actually does what it looks like it does.

The Joe Duffy blog post I linked to earlier compares various error handling methods, including checked exceptions. It's very long, but interacting deeply with this blog post helped me to level up my understanding of error handling. FWIW I did a presentation on Duffy's article for the San Diego chapter of Papers We Love: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwPBC4mWfFQ
A text file is not difficult and impractical. "Number of features" is not what makes a tool practical.
It's technology. If people want to use it as a cash grab. So be it.

If people want to do more with it, they can do that too.
In what sense do the purchasers of your NFTs have "ownership" of your work - what could they do with it that I could not, and how is this legally enforced? If NFTv2 comes out in a year with 10x the financial rewards, will you commit to not offering the same pieces again?
Anecdotally, I’ve found that when I’m stumped on a section of code, a micro dose, coupled with working on something else, _can_ speed my normal process of “walking away from a problem for a bit.” But yeah, exceeding a small amount just makes me code slower.

edit: originally omitted “something else”

The first step in being GDPR compliant is not installing a tracking library in your project. Web frameworks have no control over that.
I’m unsure how you can justify the present based on what happened in the past. It just sounds like you’re making excuses for justification.

Dartmouth College used to have a collection of Aruba access points in RF monitor-mode to collect statistics on usage of the campus WiFi network:

https://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~kotz/research/project/wifi-mea...

They have also collected data directly from the campus WiFi network access points. They replaced the WiFi network access points recently with a new system from Mist:

https://edscoop.com/how-dartmouth-is-transforming-its-on-cam...

A standard feature of Mist's system is location tracking using both WiFi and Bluetooth. Essentially the network administrators have the ability to know the location of any WiFi or Bluetooth device to within a meter or so. Mist also uses AI to analyze network derived data in a large variety of ways:

https://www.juniper.net/us/en/products/mist-ai.html

There are API's that can be used to access all this data. This is all useful for troubleshooting network problems and altering network behavior, but can also obviously be used to spy on people. The infrastructure is all there, you just have to flip the switch by changing your intent. I'm sure lots of places have Mist based wireless networks. What do the owners of those networks do with this capability? Who knows? I don't think there is any USA government regulation of what a corporation does with its own local wireless networks. It is not illegal to do location tracking of company employees for example, or of anyone on company property for that matter. The USA really needs some privacy standards.

The smaller cell size of 5G cellular networks allows for fine grain indoor and outdoor tracking of phones also, although there are some regulations on that.
You can run older versions of Photoshop (CS2 is almost certainly old enough) surprisingly well in wine. If she doesn’t like something like Krita, I’d try installing the exact version of photoshop she’s used to under wine.
That's exactly what I'm doing :)
For me weed is not really something that actively aids in problem-solving or brainstorming, but rather acts as more of a motivation booster. When it's 11pm and I have a handful of less-demanding tasks to slog through, that's where I've found weed to be a lot of help. It helps make otherwise routine tasks more engaging. It even gives me sufficient motivation to actively refactor and improve parts of codebase that I might've otherwise ignored or ticketed away in the backlog.
That would render them useless as an anti-theft product.
> Firstly, and most importantly, what you have described is categorically not the "Apple" way of doing things.

It's not clear from your comment if my insisting on using files/directories is not the Apple way of doing things, or what the people on Mac forums told me is not the Apple way of doing things.

If the former, your whole comment merely adds to what I and my parent were trying to say - that even though MacOS has totally fine support for files/folders, Mac users appear to have a hard time switching away from Apple.

As for the rest of your comment, I don't understand the relevance or why it is being directed to me. I'm not complaining that there doesn't seem to be an equivalent of Rapid Photo Downloader. I'm complaining that even highly technical MacOS users insist that resorting to basic things like storing photos in directories and dealing with their file names is simply wrong - and that their solution entails a lot more disk space and had no clear backup solution.

> It should be able to handle importing and renaming files to a standard file structure, including sane default folder names, etc. without the need for scripting. This is a flaw that I suggest you raise with the maintainers.

They are aware of it, and designed it intentionally this way for a good reason. They have certain goals, and this is explicitly not one of them. I can't fault them for not doing what they make clear they have no intention of doing.

> Finally, a bit about the "Cult". The Mac 'cult' is no different to the FOSS 'cult'.

Again, not sure why this is directed to me. I'm no fan of the FOSS/GNU/GPL cult either. The point I will make is that most Linux users are not members of those cults either, and it is not a barrier for them using Linux. The same goes for Windows. When I've wanted to do nonstandard things in Windows, I don't get Windows users telling me I'm doing it wrong.
A personal anecdote; I don't find Cannabis useful for difficult problem solving, but for more repetitive tasks like writing unit tests it's a fun way to pass the time.
Can anyone explain in an accessible way how we go from a changing pattern on a 2d grid to "add these 2 numbers" or "if x do y"?
I think the real insight here is the calendar: it sounds like new tasks go straight onto the calendar, and that's how a to-do backlog is avoided! Interesting.

I believe you misunderstood his analysis.

At timestamp 6:36 of his video [1], laowhy86 analyzes a copy of the draft "The possible origins of 2019-nCoV coronavirus" to conclude that the virus must have come from the lab. This preprint has been shown to be false by future scholarship (see the citations of the draft at [2] for some examples).

Potholer then analyzes the veracity of the claims within that preprint in his video [3], starting with an excerpt of [1] starting at 2:02.

So the timeline should be:

Feb. 2020 - Preprint published

->

Apr. 2020 - laowhy's video

->

May 2020 - potholer's rebuttal

Sure, if you're going to argue from a position of economic nihilism that the only value anything is determined by what some idiot is willing to pay for it, then you can call that NFT valuable. That isn't much of a discussion though is it? Since I could also call Beanie Babies and tulip bulbs valuable. If I give my friend $100 for a red paperclip and he gives me $100 for a green paperclip could say those paperclips were worth $100.
I noticed that some companies, increasingly common, are throwing up banners that will not go away, and have no deny button.

The banner is stuck on the screen and usually has a button captioned: Learn more, instead of the cancel or deny button.

I just want the damn banner out of my face. How long before browsers automatically hide (default deny cookies) the banner and give the user a way to expose it if they wish?

I feel abused and manipulated as a user when they use these dark patterns--which the law, to my knowledge, expressly prohibits.
By gauging the situation and, where appropriate, behaving in a slightly playful, attentive and flirtatious manner towards anyone that catches your fancy (not limited to bar patrons btw.)
I think it’s pretty clear there’s a market for them, which attracted a bunch of knobs. But yes I see them as a direct way to fund artist’s work, particularly digital artists, who before this had to content with likes on Instagram! An NFT is a way to say “hey I like this so much I’ll pay you to keep doing it”
I have a sinking feeling that something horrible is going to hit China in, say, the next two-three decades. Not sure whether it'll be a cultural shift, economic collapse, but I think the way they're structured once it starts to falter it's going to explode in a really unpleasant way. Like exceeding Mao-level deaths.

The West is messier, in a lot of ways, but I think they're more fault-tolerant.
I don't have an answer to your question I'm afraid, but I have the opposite experience to you. I find the steady, rhymic sway of the train carriage quite pleasant and is likely to make me nod off.

It's not just me, other passengers can often be seen dozing. Even a jolt or bump in the journey doesn't appear to disturb some passengers while dozing.

Someone unknown once likened the steady sway of the train to like rocking a cot from one side to another. Could that be why it makes some passengers sleepy? (I have no idea!)
I mostly preferred to use portables even on my PC, not just on USB sticks. The idea of having the whole app including its settings and data contained in a single directory (on a dedicated partition, keeping the system registry clean and surviving full-format OS re-installations, also usable from multiple OSes) is very appealing. The selection of apps PortableApps.com offers also is amazing - I have found out many great apps and games just from there.
I wish they wouldn't apologize. This was the right choice.
It is also quite useful for older systems where the native SSH doesn't support newer features.

I have to support an Oracle 10g database on this platform, and I run tinyssh on port 26:

HN titles containing the words “written in rust”
Personally, I'm angry at Intel for not having actual convictions.

It looks like they're doing the ban, not because they actually believe that there's slave labor in Xinjiang, but because their stockholders will be mad if they don't. And they issued the apology, not because they realized that there is no slave labor in Xinjiang, but because they don't want China angry at them. They're trying to just get on with being a business. (And to some degree that's fair. Intel is a business, not a moral crusader. Still, I'd like them to either take a stand, or not take a stand. Don't try to "take a stand" just to make people happy.)

With masks, COVID measures commercial travel is becoming unbearable, even in the first class.
This depends greatly on building codes, structure contents, and local geology.

In California and Japan, decades of stringent building codes mean that most structures are likely to be safe agaist even large quakes, in the sense that occupants should survive, even if the structure itself is not repairable.

Along the central and eastern US, and in large parts of rural China, Iran, Iraq, and Turkey, amongst other areas, building codes, geology, and general preparadness and awareness (or lack) can make even comparatively small quakes deadly.

From the Rockies east, the US is underlayed by largely-intact limestone and a thick crust which can propagate seere ground movement hundreds of kilometers, up to 1,000 km or more. By comparison, along th USwest coast, being 100--200 km from an epicentre usually renders even a large quake largely harmless (though it may still be felt). Additionally, construction standards in the central/eastern US and other regions mentioned above tend to result in far more severe structural damage. Rescue, aid, and shelter capabilities may also be limited.

(In California, the principle geological hazard is fill or other soils prone to liquefaction, which can greatly amplify movement locally. Landslides may also be a concern. In mountains, rockslides.)

The guidelines 323 gives are useful for California and Japan. Elsewhere, comparable damage might occur a magnitude below those given.
Cloudflare Analytics or something on server with GoAccess.

SimpleAnalytics, Fathom, Pirsch and Plausible. They are all very similar from pricing, to display layout. The problem is they dont track returning visitors. Some argue that is against privacy, some think it is acceptable for 30 days period. I remember there was one Analytics from EUR that offer returning visitors stats but again.. Bookmarks on browser is practically useless. So I cant find it anymore.

Feels a little different, in that I'd then have a fine art print to put on my wall and enjoy. In this case I have a string of characters on a hard drive. If I didn't care only about price appreciation, why would I pick the latter?
Because the DEA and the "War" on Drugs opposed any research.

Just as congress prohibited the government from maintaining statistics on gun violence almost 20 years ago.

My mom is suffering from a lot of knee pain. Recently we went on a long drive and the following day her knees were swollen up like canteloupes.. it makes me sad how much she is unable to go on her daily walks, or go on hikes with the rest of the family, or even struggle to stand up from my couch which is particularly low to the ground. So I heard that she might have a circulation issue, something I suspect might be a bit wonky in myself as well. So last night I just googled “circulation changes due to drinking water” as kind of a hail mary and, lo and behold, found this

When I watched the president of the United States get kicked off every popular social media platform it clicked for me. I never voted for the guy, I never liked the guy. But he was still the president, and it didn't matter. The tech companies demonstrated how much power they truely had. NO ONE should have that much unchecked power.

Before 2020, I was interested in crypto as an academic exercise. In 2021, it became an urgant need. I don't think i'm alone, to me crypto is an exit from the large tech monopolies that dominate our world today.

This project is kinda wonky from a free/open-source perspective. It's ostensibly licensed under GPL-3 (i.e., there's a source zip which has a License.txt that's GPL-3), but it otherwise acts like freeware with a single developer.

It has a history of bundling file-droppers/malware; there's a donation edition with a different feature set, with some extra features (including removal of arbitrary limitations on the regular versions); the installers are binary blobs, and there's no attempt (and passive hostility) towards integration with distros and package managers; source control isn't provided, and there's basically no attempt to create a dev community.

The binary installers may or may not include things that are not in the provided source code, like installer and ad systems. That's not really cool.

> If you use "what someone last paid for it" as a measure of intrinsic value, then they have intrinsic value.

Clearly this doesn’t meet the requirements of an objective measure.

A single tulip bulb was purchased for 2500 florins in 1636. That represents 10 years of a skilled laborers earnings at the time.

If you believe that the price an NFT sold for on a ledger represents its intrinsic value, then you must also believe that a tulip bulb’s intrinsic value was equivalent to 10 years of skilled labor.

Obviously this is absurd, and history proved it so.

I believe a lot of us would be more excited if they weren't also a frustrating grifter paradise.

People rant and rave about how this is a huge when for digital artists while ignoring the darker side. I see more and more small artists venting their frustrations in fighting with the NFT markets to get their stolen art taken down. Also in dealing with crypto bros cyberbullying them for refusing to participate in this whole crypto shit show.
That doesn't solve the issue. You have no way of knowing if the art I'm selling as NFT was made by me or if I copied it from the webpage/DeviantArt of an other artist. Being the first to create an NFT of an image doesn't mean you created the image. And if the images are slightly edited to prevent google image searches (or similar technique), people might never know that 3 people are selling the same stolen image.
Procedure for "entering maskrom mode", from the link above, is so cool! Reads like some magic ritual:

> Turn the device on (...)
It depends on how many wearings and how much material is in it.

Homechart is my solution to "app fatigue": too many productivity apps (todos, calendar, recipes, shopping, budget, etc), no integrations, few self hosted, painful monetization.

Take every personal productivity app and put it into an all in one, integrated experience. Available for free (self-hosted container) or in the cloud. No ads, written in Go/Typescript.
I think there's a fundamental complexity and skills-required difference between someone writing kernel code or microcode and someone writing a generic CRUD app.
