The future is kids using Unreal Engine (or similar) and making a high definition "retelling" of the new Spiderman movie hours after its release, injecting their own humor and style into the process.

Just as kids now watch other people playing games, they'll soon watch other people acting out movies. Kids make Star Wars at home. Kids make Star Wars meets Godzilla at home. The possibilities are endless, and Hollywood won't be able to keep up.
But remission is defined by the same measure. It’s just an arbitrary threshold on the HDRS.
One can have no regrets over USSR as such, but still be unhappy about how it fell apart. Did we really have to go through the whole bloody mess of late 80s to early 90s? Armenia vs Azerbaijan in Karabakh and elsewhere, Georgia vs Abkhazia/Adjaria/Ossetia, the bloody civil war in Tajikistan, numerous ethnic massacres all across Central Asia (e.g. the Osh riots), and so on.
If you'd watched the CBC recently you'd want to defund it as well. Tons of blatant propaganda.
I agree with the comparison to the early web, but this is 1999, not 2003. I'm sure we'll find actual applications for blockchain tech eventually. Some will even be matured versions of what exists currently in DeFi and such. But just like every time people say, "This time it's different," it isn't. We're clearly in a bubble fueled by speculation and hype, and I expect it'll deflate eventually.
What happens to the package if the maintainer loses their password?
I once replied to a flippant comment about the inherent reliability of the cloud with a two-line PowerShell script that would end any 100% cloud-hosted business if executed in the context of an admin account. As in: pack up everything, turn the lights off, lock the doors, and go home because the game is over.

I deliberately obfuscated the script by replacing characters with various Unicode confusables, both the letters and the symbols.

I still felt bad and ended up deleting the post.

Hopefully nobody tried to type it in manually instead of cut & pasting just to see what would happen...
There is (was?) an art car at burning man that uses this principle. It was the first mutant vehicle I ever laid eyes on.

I think you did a very good job - it captured the feeling that it's almost sorcery which still hits me any time I successfully apply it, without getting bogged down in technicalities. I think it's OK to be superficial as long as you give people enough information to look up and learn more about it. Mentioning word2vec will certainly give interested readers a head start.
This will surely end well.
Actually you can’t know it was by an ‘owner’ because nfts are not tied to the real world. You own nothing but the digital signature.

There are so many problems being skated over here about provenance and ownership and nfts provide nothing of value in that domain, they’re just a get rich quick scheme.
It sounds like the main cost (time & $$$) with the Webb was R&D, not the actual launch. Am I wrong?

Interesting. If the equality must hold, then this means that a/b has different values on different architectures depending on whether a%b is positive or negative.

My dentist is a big time burner. Didn't even realize he was a dentist for a few years - was just this guy in our camp. Nothing at the office that would indicate it really.
Heads up, ‘There is a lot to try before going that route’ is a medical opinion that is hard to notice. Exactly what the treatment plan would be and in what order is entirely up to the doctor and sometimes (often) the best thing that works is the actual drugs.

I’m just conscious of this because I’ve seen this argument used to justify delaying actual treatment in favour of ‘alternative medicine’.

Yes, it seems like many of the railway lines featured in this article followed the path of the Taurus Express (basically an extension of the famous Simplon Orient Express) and were once promoted to European tourists as a safe, comfortable way to visit the sights of the Middle East. Many posters even featured Wagons-Lits (a sleeper and dining car provider analogous to the Pullman Company in the United States) which were the epitome of luxury travel at that time. The posters from that bygone era are quite impressive and enticing, hopefully peace will return to the region sometime soon:

If you're looking for an alternative dictionary on mobile, check out Vedaist (https://www.vedaist.com/). The dictionary entries are based on Wiktionary (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Main_Page) and I'd expect more modern meanings compared to the Webster's 1913. The UI is a subjective choice though.

The mac default dictionary is great for offline use and passive learning. With vedaist features are geared towards active learning with gamification.

A couple of things to note here:

- New brands are created all the time; you don't have to be Nintendo to do so. maybe you get bought be Nintendo after.

- Big brands ultimately still need to go where the customers are.

- What the blockchain gives your digital good is a sense of permanence. This may not matter for an individual purchaser who simply wants to speculate in a hot market, but there would be no such market if the ownership ledger was run by single company. The narrative that these ownership records exists on a blockchain that will survive any particular startup failing underpins the whole thing.
I tend to think of myself as a bit of a conservative centrist, and thought it did a decent job insulting everyone. Probably the right more than the left, but that's to be expected given who made it.

I didn't find the main villain to be right wing. If anything, a BezosZuckerbergMusk conglomeration that acted pretty annoyingly progressive in mannerisms and requests.

To me the left was portrayed as social media addicted idiots, and the right as purposefully ignorant idiots(dont look up). In the end, I think someone on either side would end up offended.
What on earth is happening at American universities that makes anyone think for a second that light/dark as used in psychology has anything to do with skin color and not, as is the case, with probably one of humanities oldest existing metaphors, namely darkness and light.
>>- slow (15 txn/sec, 22-23 with the move to proof of stake) - expensive (I read somewhere that globally Eth users spend more on 30M USD in fees per day!) -

This is no longer the case with L2 solutions, like zk-Rollups. See what StarkEx, which is one particular Validium/zk-Rollup L2 solution, is doing:

https://twitter.com/EliBenSasson/status/1475206185762578437?...

>>Past week, @ethereum ~ 9M txs. StarkEx ~ 6.25M TWO THIRDS THE TX COUNT OF ETHEREUM.

L2 solutions can process transactions at scales and fees a couple orders of magnitude greater and lower than Ethereum L1, respectively.

>>too volatile to be reliable for everyday banking use cases

Stablecoins aren't volatile, and they are a major, and rapidly growing use case of Ethereum

>>bad for the environment

Ethereum's energy consumption declines by 99.95% upon the completion of the transition to Proof of Stake.
I agree with you, I was raised in a religious tradition where this distinction between light and dark was institutionally overplayed, went right into covert traditions & pronouncements around race and to this day it's basically an issue that everybody in the org with a brain is racing to put behind them.

We can be creative and do better with the terminology, bring something new and improved forward for those who follow. It shouldn't be a big deal.
Like getting rugpulled? Or getting hacked and having funds unrecoverable? I’m not quite understanding the better customer experience you speak of.
That's a fixed-pitch prop, which will generate more drag stopped than windmilling.

In About they cite a reference that claims that "darkness" is functionally distinct from the Big Five's agreeableness, maybe there's something here.

My dream programming language is imperative with global variables when I add new code and transpiles into functional with minimal shared state when I'm done with changing stuff and just want to read what happens.

The part of functional programming I hate the most is passing some new data through 10 levels of callstack to use it in a function that didn't needed it previously. It should be automated.
Turns out Twitter is a private company and can institute whatever terms of use they want on people blathering on about the (in)effectiveness vaccines.

It’s really not that much trouble. Most of the ORM like things over IndexedDB introduce extra bugs and slowness for you to deal with anyways - SQLite is millions of times easier to use than IndexedDB, so you’re getting a good deal out of considering AbsurdSQL “just” an ORM for IndexedD… as long as you don’t need to support Safari.

Okay. I'll bite too. Do you have a source for not having read anything from Malone claiming a dark and evil plot is at work?
I have frequently had code like this:

if other < mine:
update_comments(other, mine)

write_billing(other)

and then I paste it, but get the indentation wrong on the last line, and it falls outside of the if block. Maybe my brainbox needs an upgrade.

And yeah, pasting code into a repl would be easier too if I could rely on braces to convey scope.
It frequently has structures containing objects of different types that have to identify themselves so they can be processed in different ways. This general pattern, and function pointers in C predates formal "OOP" of course, so I don't call it manually-written vtables. But yes it has this and it is a good technique.

OOP languages which do this automatically for you is AFAIKS just a thin and often clunky layer of syntactic sugar on top of it.

Why does "Web3" need venture capital. More specifically, why are VC pushing for Web3.
They don't. And videos like this is exactly why they still should. There is no indication to a casual viewer that this might be BS unless they carefully look at the trend in the comments.

I read the message you replied to as sarcasm btw.
That’s right. Our data structures are designed for working with large amounts of compressed text (dynamic FM-Index is one example). They are pretty hard to implement so making a persistent version of such a data structure would require a big time commitment. I imagine that my use case is not that unique and there are many situations where mutable data structures are hard to avoid.
Austin, TX is notable, but I believe you can find this in most cities.
You seem to be suggesting that a problem with NFTs is that the artist can mint multiple copies of their artwork, possibly using secret additional private keys.

The answer is that this is not a problem, because the whole point is knowing who the creator of the NFT is, and beeple trying to create additional copies using a secret wallet but not telling anyone will be treated by the market the same as me minting a copy of a beeple piece.
I can only assume they have invested a lot in ETH mining because gas fees are insane
Not every subject needs to be "both sided". In the modern progressive/conservative divide, there is no pure synchronicity between how people of different political persuasions approach their support of ideas.

How could no one mention the environmental issues?!

So, I'll start. I believe that the loss of biodiversity is the most terrible threat to our societies.

I believe it, because the loss is incredible fast (80% insect masses disappeared in the last 30 years in Europe), while no one cares about it (who knows what is the Ipbes?).

I believe it also because diversity life is providing a huge list of necessary services (e.g. cleaning, fertilizers, protection against ground erosion) to our society, that we don't take into account.
Narcissism is a component of a healthy personality. NPD is different.
This is trying to solve a social problem (capitalism concentrates power and is anti-democratic) with a technical solution. Just provision services using tax dollars with democratically accountable boards and you get "permissionless data" by posting the database online with additional support provisioned on a sliding scale based on ability to pay with a large free tier.
I can justify using a debugger in a backend language like Python.

Artificial scarcity is the aspect of web3 that bothers me most.

The web is all about abundance; reducing the marginal cost of software and information to zero so as many people as possible can have access. It seems like web3 advocates seek to do the opposite and lock software and information inside the digital equivalent of diamond mines.
VLAs are considered a huge mistake in security coding, to the point that Google sponsored the work to clean the Linux kernel of them.
By that logic the only cause of death in GA is "plane hit the ground."

When the engine stops working because it doesn't get enough fuel because there's nothing left in the tanks, the root cause is not putting enough fuel in the tanks, not engine failure.
It didnt become a marketing term until last year. At least, in public perception.

And the way "web3" is used by marketers today is disconnected from ethereum's api
I think the sad truth is that the very long swiss cheese record of this stuff just fits right into, and contributes to, the "secure internal network" mental model of most on-premises cultures. It also benefits the vendors, because they can sell more feebly secured on-prem stuff.
Financial transactions, especially payments, work under the assumption that any node in the path from "payment attempt made" to "Payment attempt successful" can go down and not have an incorrect record of payment.

Authority? Me - I worked in the payment space for EMV for a number of years. There are (maybe) a minimum of five nodes in the path from swiping a card/making a payment to a successful payment, and each of these computers/systems are owned by different companies, all of which don't trust the other not to be a MitM, and all of which are designed to not lose transactions if any of the systems involved suddenly power off.

It's almost a myth at this point that a system doing financial transactions needs 100% uptime or it will lose transactions.

Trust me, even a system with only 80% uptime is never going to mislay transactions. The worst that happens is that transactions won't be processed during the downtime, payment or transfers are declined and the entity making payment/transfer can use the decline message to try again later.

If you're quadrupling your development and infrastructure cost in an attempt to reduce your downtime from twice a year to once every decade you're simply throwing money away[1].

[1] If you're doing that, it's also possible that you don't know of the many fail-safes built into the protocols for message exchange. Remember that these systems worked fine prior to HA/Always-Available cloud systems. Adding HA cloud tech is not going to make them more resilient than they are now, it just introduces additional points of failure.

Why do Ethereum fans keep using this example as if it’s already done, when it still isn’t?
People want things to be cheap and convenient. Convincing yourself otherwise is a mistake.
I admire the efforts of this research, and I’ll also say that while I do not endorse smoking cigarettes and I regret the amount of cigarettes I do smoke, there has been a strong correlation between the increase in my cigarette consumption over the last two years (from ~1/2 pack a day to 1-2 packs per day) and my running performance (from not any ever to ~1/2 mile on several occasions).

All of those runs I have embarked on have been with my dog, who thinks it’s the coolest thing ever.

That was quite informative, although to me, as a non-native English speaker, the basic descriptions are often more useful. It seems to make sense for the definition to be written in simpler terms then the term it defines. But I can see the appeal for someone looking to make their use of language less blunt.
I realized - in the midst of a professional career that had a dry spell - that I do enjoy some parts of game design, but the type of game I should design should not be too heavy on overt rules, stats, and systems, and instead work on the intuitive and holistic parts.

I had to learn what was enjoyable about it by first burning out on what I didn't. This is a form of artistic journey that spans all mediums. Games often have many layers. If you don't really know why you're adding a certain layer, like a level design, or cutscenes, it instantly turns into a morale crusher that can spiral into ever-increasing scope(by way of "it's not good yet, add more"). And it's easy to fall into that with vague justifiers like "every game is better with more stuff" or "I spent time on it so I'm gonna use it". Eliminating contradictory elements removes morale crushers, but can leave the game barebones and underdesigned. The solution to that is to inject themes and principles that suggest the specific possibilities. Then you are simply including the elements that cohere to principle, which quickly "develops" the game out of the tech demo stage. In the blink of an eye it can go from nothing to a great game, if the groundwork was set up well.

Of course, most games are products, and products need product features, which take things away from the artistic goal. But if you can build it small enough, it can be a hobby :)

Don’t think it was staged, but I could see him making questionable decisions. He seems to put very little effort into finding a spot to land. That’s probably because he had the shoot
It's quite possible humanity has survived because most people never get depressed. You need to be quite clear about definitions to have a meaningful conversation on this.
If a community wants to make it hard for new users to get on-board and it is totally for expert users, what's wrong with that? They all decide together and if that's all they want, more freedom and power to them. Too bad they'll be off-limits for new users (including myself, never installed Arch), I'll find another distro. But, I respect them for their right to collectively do whatever they want.

About the only obligation they have back to the larger Linux community is GPL license and making the source code available.
Its just confirmation bias in relationships. If a person really wanted to stay with their SO, they would be saying “omg, our personalities are so incompatible on paper, but we’re just so great together despite that”

But since they want to leave and can’t find a good reason or don’t feel that they can stand by whatever reasoning they have, it becomes “We have to break up because you’re yellow and I’m red” rather than: “we have to break up because I’m shallow and your body doesn’t look like it did when we met” or “we have to break up because after you got fired you haven’t been able to spend as much money on me”. Etc.
> If `...inner...` is dedented

The problem usually isn’t …inner… being dedented, but …outer… being indented. Which usually won’t produce an error, since anything that could be in …outer… could also be in …inner… without error.

> Additionally, you probably wouldn’t want to write nested for-loops anyway, but something like flattening the inner loop into a return value.

Nested for-loops aren’t uncommon in real-world code. And, I…am not sure what you are saying here. Loops are imperative constructs, not return values.

Looking it up, they used NeuroStar machines, though (obviously) not for 10 hour stretches.
Thanks, that's really interesting. The professional aspect is a little bit concerning TBH. From what I learned in instruction on psychometric instruments in the past I think I'd be inclined to request that some random sample of N professionals carry this out. Especially to the degree that some individual's institutional future hangs in the balance...
Humanity won't get better at managing its future unless it doesn't rely on individual humans for the decision making process.

We either need a very long lived benevolent dictator in the form of AI to guide decision making or we need methods to allow the emergence of true democratic process in which as many voices are heard as possible at a global scale. Possibly both.
