If you want to learn some code and concepts in smart contracts in a really friendly way (while providing a lot of good information), you can go through the tutorials at https://cryptozombies.io/, which works like FreeCodeCamp.

Smart contract code has some similarities but also a few things you need to do differently because of the nature of the blockchain. Like random number generation you have to be careful with since your code is public, and people could potentially game it unless you do it a certain way, also function visibility is very important because it might allow other apps to call your contract and/or certain types might cost gas (i.e. tokens) when you don't need it to. Also a smart contract is immutable once it's published, so you need to be very careful you get it right, or you will have no choice but to point people to a different contract (and even still that other contract could still do some damage). Also the way string comparison is done is to make a hash of each of the strings and compare those to see if they're equal. Just a few examples of many.

So it actually feels like I'm learning something different, and not just "okay, what do I need to call/integrate to add authentication on this new platform" for the tenth time, or "Oh, the coordinates for drawing to the screen start from the top left instead of the bottom left for this tool, good to know."

I mean it's not as different as learning something like Prolog, but still fairly different.

Most of us are very likely very wary about 'surveys' like this.

But then some of us don't care any more because we have reached the point where it's hard to spend what we have in the remaining time left to us. When you have everything that's necessary, you really don't have a lot to spend your money on. Even living quite lavishly it's difficult to spend more than a hundred-odd grand a year in normal living.

(Of course, you could make it a goal to spend as much as possible as soon as possible. That's doable, but do you need to do that? You can't eat more than a day's requirements of food every day. You still need a certain amount of sleep. You have a good house, not too big that you're forever having to work in it, and one you can shut the door on and go away travelling for months on end. You have a car or SUV that cost about a hundred grand, but you'll have that over several years, anyway. So what is the return for spending for spending's sake?)

Once upon a time we used to enjoy International Travel. But now we can't even spend big amounts of cash on international flights any more. First and Business Class Flying used to be much more enjoyable than 'Cattle Class', but even on those the most we spent was 35 grand one year.

Anyway, what I'm reiterating is that, generally speaking, a hundred grand is sufficient for most people to spend per year. And if you're old enough, you don't have enough years at 100 grand a year to spend all your money before you kick the bucket.

Consequently, money becomes the least of your worries. It just stops being a factor in your life at all.

Your health becomes important, and countries with single-payer health care prevent you paying too much on health. My triple bypass back in 2005 cost me zilch. A bit of pain for several months maybe.

Your personal happiness becomes the most important factor in life. Start as young as possible on that.

I have been using Dell P2415Q (24" 180ppi) for a few years side-by-side with a Retina MacBook, and the difference is visible: I can see pixels on 180ppi text if I lean forward, but not on the 220ppi. Not a deal breaker, of course, but the "retina" marketing pitch isn't lying.

BTW, LG 24UD58 mentioned in the article is also only 180ppi.

I _believe_ std::sort used to be more complicated because you had to define a class with a compare method for custom comparison functions, or something like that. Looking here https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/algorithm/sort , I cannot be arsed to find out what works since which version of C++. Come on, look at that link and tell me with a straight face you can't grok the qsort() signature much more easily than that mess.

Other than that, the STL is generally slower compiling compared to only including plain C headers, which is also taxing on the "ease of use" department.

Yes, bitcoin mining has long been unprofitable on GPUs and is low-profit with ASICs. But most newer cryptocurrencies are designed specifically to be hard to make affordable ASICs for, usually by requiring GPU-like memory bandwidth. If you participate in a mining pool like NiceHash, your GPU will likely end up being put to work mining something like Monero but the pool will pay out in bitcoin.

Lessons from my PhD
> Ultimately it depends on the claim, but the basis of it would that you'd have to be able to both test and repeatably reproduce whatever effect is claimed.

Can you explain further why this would be a good standard, or how it would help? I mean, suppose you were god (with the usual alleged attributes that generate this kind of issue). How would you make yourself repeatable or testable?

Prayer seems like one of the tests that you would propose. This seems to me to be a maybe not great test? Even we respond differently based on the situation. My kids pray to me for ice cream fairly regularly, for example, and sometimes they get it and sometimes they don't. (Sometimes they eat their dinner and haven't had more sweets than are good for them by my judgment; sometimes they're disobedient and annoying; sometimes I'm a first-rate bastard to my kids; and so on.) If god exists, I don't know that I would expect him/her/it to respond repeatably or to be testable, at least in that sense.

> Does it include treating yourself with kindness and compassion?

Yes, definitely. I feel it's implicit in the 2nd great commandment ("Love thy neighbor as thyself") that we should treat ourselves with kindness, patience, compassion, etc. Humility is a good trait, but I don't think it e.g. means tearing oneself down - God has high expectations but also sees us as a work in progress, so that helps me feel love for myself despite the many flaws.

For praying, there's a lot of variety in my mode of prayer. Many prayers are purely in my heart/mind, while some are vocalized. If circumstances allow (such as during my morning personal prayer), I like to physically kneel down and close my eyes and speak out loud. For those prayers, I often naturally feel like I'm praying "upwards" if that makes sense.

> Lastly, I grew outside of religion, and I define Christian practice as the commitment to choose love and kindness, in my heart, and speak, think and act from that choice. How does that resonate with someone like you

My two cents: I like that emphasis on deliberately choosing goodness, and I believe that learning to choose good - and over time /becoming/ someone who chooses good more naturally - is one of the key reasons God went to all the trouble of giving us this life in the first place. :)
North-south antipathies endure around the globe
I started dealing with independent IT headhunters back in 1997. Back then they were more valuable, and seemed to somehow know about open positions that I did not know of.

Nowadays most independent recruiters I know of are rehashing the jobs I can see on Linkedin and the like. They're often 22 year olds at their first job right out of college.

There are some independent headhunters who add value, but most do not. The one thing they do seem to get is feedback they can pass on. Maybe companies feel more comfortable telling a third party.
I recently came across a web site that allows one to zoom into the content (it's a mapping site). Only the designers just assumed that everyone would have either a mouse with a scroll wheel, or a touch pad. Well, I have neither. And the developers of the site suggested "oh, just install this piece of software that allows you to bind some keyboard shortcuts to simulate a scroll wheel" instead of, you know, providing two damn buttons to zoom in and out! ("But ... but ... but ... adding those two buttons would destroy the aesthetic of the site!")

I used to think like this, but TypeScript has saved me massive amounts of time. If you ever refactor your code, the compiler will help you trace all the dependencies, so you don't end up with subtle bugs or broken code. In other ways, TypeScript deepens understanding of JavaScript. For example, TypeScript forces you to think explicitly about the differences between undefined and null, helping you to know the difference and to avoid a whole class of JavaScript pitfalls. You can also look at a function signature and know exactly what inputs and outputs it requires, rather than having to memorize or search docs. Even for smaller projects, I start with TypeScript now.
Yes, it was very much the UK government's decision, due to reciprocity.

There is no question that Germany would have reduced visa requirements for UK citizens, if the UK reduced visa requirements for EU citizens.

During Brexit negotiations, the EU offered UK freedom of movement, similar to how, for example, Switzerland is not a member of the EU but citizens have freedom of movement as if it was a member.

But not unilaterally. One of the duties of the EU is to support basic rights of EU citizens, and one of the mechanisms for doing so is to insist on reciprocity with countries outside the EU. If the UK will not grant EU citizens rights in the UK, then roughly speaking, UK citizens are not granted equivalent rights in the EU.

Naturally the UK turned that down, which closes the border to UK citizens going to the EU, just as much as EU citizens going to the UK.

Weaker, limited forms of freedom of movement were also offered. For example the Erasmus student exchange program, and visas for travelling performers.

All turned down by the UK. Thus the EU institutions and member countries are not minded to offer UK citizens rights, even limited, which the UK declines to offer to EU citizens.

As a Brit who has now lost their ability to work in the EU, and whose children will not have that wonderful opportunity to travel and work in a multitude of countries which all EU citizens enjoy (and many of them use), this is a profound loss.

It is not a surprising outcome, though. Politically, most speeches I heard by Theresa May during the negotiation period started with something like "on XXX date, freedom of movement will end".

The removal of freedom of movement was emphasised as a central, non-negotiable purpose of Brexit during such speeches.

So it is not surprising that it was stripped from us, because that freedom will not be removed in one direction only. And it's not surprising that the new visa requirements are the "hard default" which apply to countries that have declined to negotiate something better. Germany is unlikely to offer UK citizens preferential treatment so long as the UK holds an equivalently hard stance against German citizens.

Recently, I read that children from Germany no longer come to the UK on foreign exchange school trips, even if the purpose is to learn English. They have switched destinations to Ireland, Netherlands and elsewhere. That's because UK visas for such trips are now too difficult and expensive to obtain. Also, about 4% of children in Germany are non-EU citizens, and in practice those would have to stay at home while their classmates travel (before Brexit they could be part of a travelling school group). So the UK foreign exchange school trip industry for EU children has now collapsed, and the UK is no longer a place they'd think of visiting.

With that sort of abrupt change of rights affecting German citizens and residents, and the UK making it clear it doesn't want to make such things easier even for temporary stays, let alone working, of course Germany is not going to offer preferential work visa options to UK citizens.

There is a list of magnetometers in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetometer#Magnetic_surveys . The only one that does not use QM effects is the "Rotating coil magnetometer".

For the quantum radar, I read about it a few years ago, but IIRC they only had a model that works in a lab with a small distance (and probably not under sunlight). You must send the entangled photon, get it back and combine with the other photon of the pair. You can send too many photons, because it will be difficult to make the correct pairs. And there is fog, dust, air currents, and other stuff that will mess with the polarization of the photon while it's traveling. Color me very skeptic about using it outside a lab. (Perhaps on the Moon, at night, or other similar scenario where there is no nasty air in the path.)

I don't believe you would actually do this or you wouldn't make that comment, but either way don't do it to satisfy me.

> Why turn this into a morality play?

As I said, a lot of people are struggling and hungry. The point of the comment is to inject a little reality in to the idea that a $4,000 monitor is "worth it" because someone is at the computer a lot. But the marginal happiness of an HN user buying a $4,000 monitor instead of a $2,000 is very low, and there are other ways to spend extra cash. If you have extra money right now, consider donating it. It's cold outside and people need help.

Why get upset anyway? I think I made a fine suggestion. Someone could do what I suggested. Or not. You don't have to do it if you don't want to.

It didn't happen because the masses of people absolutely do not want to do it. That will never change. This is why decentralized thing will rarely do anything other than fail.

Consumers don't want to do it. They're tired. They want to sleep. They want to watch TV or Netflix or TikTok or YouTube or listen to Spotify. They want to turn off their brains in most cases. Maybe spend time with their kids. Or go to the grocery store, or football practice, or holiday shopping, or browse Amazon or eBay, or fret about bills, or prepare their taxes, or fix the sink, or mow the lawn, or play with the dog.

They want someone else to be responsible for the thing. They want a central entity to blame, or complain to, and to pay to take it all off their plate. They just want to send Netflix $14 / month and click a button and never have to think about running their own systems. That's what they want. That's what they will always want, so long as the price is even slightly reasonable.

No amount of wishing by techies is going to change that reality.

Nothing you mentioned alters the fundamental problem: consumers don't want to do it, they're never going to want to do it. They're also not going to suddenly want to do all of their computing by bash. They're not all going to run out and teach themselves JavaScript. They don't want to run their own email servers. They don't want to run their own media servers. They don't want to take total control of their privacy and run their own decentralized social software. Sure, there are exceptions to the rule, and that's all there will ever be, slivers of exceptions.

They want to be able to walk away from Facebook or Instagram or YouTube for three weeks or three months and not worry about whether the server ate itself, or needs updates, or a new power supply, or has a critical security vulnerability - those things all become the consumer's responsibility. If they use Facebook they can shake their fist at Zuckerberg on the rare occasion the service is down; he's to blame for X Y Z; and it costs them nothing whether they use it once per day or once per year (yeah but privacy, they're the product; right, well, step into the average consumer's mindset and out of your mindset).

The majority of consumers could change their own oil too. They don't want to because it's a big hassle to them. They don't even want to sew their own clothes, imagine. Bring back decentralized clothing.

I'm endlessly baffled by the inability of most techies to put themselves into the shoes of the average consumer and just get it, get their point of view, grasp their mindset. It's extraordinarily easy to do. Just try it sometime, with practice it gets easy, I promise. No matter how many decades go by, none of this changes, and yet the techies persist with the decentralized fantasies. One day human nature will change, just you wait!
