From my experience, the libc is not even the most scary step… It's the first, necessary step, but not sufficient. Converting a code base that has serialized data structures with 32 bits timestamps that are not even time_t (which is a good choice since you want serialization stability), now that makes for complex upgrade paths.

I’m ok with that. A win-win for both sides. But let’s finally put the cards on the table.
The details are nuanced by the definitions in the CFR, the details of the reporting requirements (NTSB must do something with everything reported to it but that may be minimal), and the NTSB's authority to delegate more minor investigations to FAA flight standards. Lots of people in the thread are hashing these out. But it suffices to say that when an airplane is seriously damaged or people are seriously injured, the NTSB is obligated to investigate. This dates way back to before the NTSB existed. In straightforward situations that sometimes consists only of the regional office making some phone calls and then preparing a two-page summary (you see a LOT of these two-page summaries for GA incidents, it's basically a form letter), but that's under the assumption that their cursory review doesn't turn up anything interesting. You can already find this incident in the NTSB's investigation database, WPR22LA049.

The how to configure part would be interesting. Because you literaly never know. Perhaps it's a setq? Or an add-hook? Or a function call? Or a major edit mode? Or a minor edit mode? Or perhaps setq-default? Or setting a variable to t, or perhaps to 1, or perhaps to some other value? Or...
I am strongly considering buying a copy of your book and giving data-oriented programming a go in my day job. My only hesitation is data immutability. I work in a data-intensive scientific field where we frequently use custom, mutable data structures holding massive amounts of data. Creating persistent versions of these data structures would be an extremely complex undertaking. Do you have any thoughts about using data-oriented programming in situations when data mutability is difficult to avoid?

> Mathematically, dividing two integers yields a real

not true. if you define 'divide' as inverse multiplication over the reals then that is closer to being true (zero is an integer, dividing an integer by zero doesn't yield a real). in that case every real can be expressed as n = a/b where a and b are integers and b != 0 then yes n is a real.

But 'divide' could just as well be defined along the lines of divisibility in number theory (the study of integers) where every integer can be expressed as n = q*b + r, where n,q,b,r are all integers and r >= 0 > b. then you could say that n divide b = q, with r as remainder, and n mod b = r. These are my preferred definition of mod and integer division.

The problem, like so many CEOs, was lack of clear vision. When you are failing, you have to place the bet and drive it through. Sure, the probability is that you will lose but if you don't then losing becomes a certainty.

The problem is that this is anathema to anybody who who was good at the middle management game. You get ahead as a middle manager not by placing big bets but by mostly avoiding failure.

For the boolean case, yes.

But note also that an Emacs instance can open frames on multiple displays. This is not necessarily that hard to get if, for instance, you start with some X frames and then invoke emacsclient in a terminal in a way that causes it to open a character-cell frame there. window-system is documented as a terminal-local variable for this reason, and similarly the display-foo-p functions take an optional selector argument.

Which means that if you care about that, querying any of those once from your init file will not necessarily do what you want, and you should consider attaching to something like after-make-frame-functions. The global menu-bar-mode explicitly states that it applies to all current and future frames, too; toggle-menu-bar-mode-from-frame seems to be the per-frame version.

But if it's just cosmetic and you don't care about some variance in that case, then whatever. :-)

Bit Gold was maybe to test out interest, then when the real one was made it would be more anonymous. If you think about it, bitcoin being anonymous is a feature as it makes it seem less centralized eventhough Satoshi owns a large chunk of it. Today companies or individuals will control a large chunk of other coins/platforms and it feels more centralized or even autocratic. At any time those big fish could wreak havoc. Satoshi seems more hands off.

Another potential reason is the money it would generate and the recognition would attract too much attention. The successful decentralized currency like bitcoin might have been foreseen as a threat to the creator after it takes off and gains in value.

From the wiki on Nick Szabo, he is more 'reclusive' and not wanting to be known. On his blog he mentioned his intent on creating a live version of the currency as Bit Gold was more of a prototype/demo and was never launched. Even the name Bit Gold and bitcoin are very similar as is the name Nicholas Szabo (N.S.) and Satoshi Nakamoto (S.N.) in a few ways. Satoshi Nakamoto always seems like a purposeful shroud of a name, looking for someone by that name is probably not going to find them:

> Nathaniel Popper wrote in The New York Times that "the most convincing evidence pointed to a reclusive American man of Hungarian descent named Nick Szabo." In 2008, prior to the release of bitcoin, Szabo wrote a comment on his blog about the intent of creating a live version of his hypothetical currency. [1]

Hal Finney was the first to receive 10 bitcoins from Satoshi Nakamoto [2]. Hal Finney was the next employee after Phil Zimmermann at PGP. So he knew the potential for being pursued by governments for software creations. Hal, who died in 2014 unfortunately, probably knew Satoshi and would have known he was shrouding/anonymous for good reasons as seen in the PGP history just before that and around the same time bit gold was being created.

The very likely people to be Satoshi Nakamoto are Nick Szabo and Hal Finney due to the early interactions and transactions, and potentially Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto, but that seems unlikely they would use their real name [3]. Maybe it was all three or someone else entirely, these guys are just around the early days and some of the first transactions. Either that or someone or some group saw the need for decentralized currency from their efforts and then front ran them and made it seem more like them to help shroud themselves.

And what of those kids whose parents do not prepare them? Are they to be left behind?

I view the responsibility of schools to provide at least the minimum needed for graduates to be contributing members of society. That means they need diverse perspectives of our society and history. Sometimes graphic or hyperbolic language may be necessary to force students to truly consider such perspectives, so I don't see such language in and of itself as a reason to ban something. Though such works should
probably only be read with age-appropriate support.
Well, decentralized exchanges usually maintain their moat through liquidity (the catch-22 of attracting liquidity to a new dex without users, and attracting users without liquidity).

Ethereum Name Service maintains their moat through legitimacy. You could copy paste the contract and start issuing .eth names of your own, but the ENS team is generally trusted by the community and thus their specific instance of the contract (at their contract address) is already widely integrated into products.

You're right that social media dApps perhaps don't have a "moat" like that, which may be part of why we've seen so many of them blossom and fail, while none of them really catch on like with other types of services. Though that might be just as much due to the fact that social media is a low-value service compared to money transfer, and blockchains just haven't become scalable enough yet for a meaningful part of the social media stack to be run cost-efficiently on the blockchain.

Personally I've always been less sold on cryptocurrency networks as a host for social media, as I believe traditional decentralized web2 schemes like ActivityPub (Mastodon) still have a long way to race in that regard before the scheme needs to be complicated with a blockchain integration.

What I do believe will happen is similar to you explained, where just profile info (and maybe a profile image hash) is stored on the blockchain while other data is stored off-chain. Ethereum Name Service already acts as a profile service in a lot of ways as it already has records for your twitter handle, github handle, etc. as well as support for custom records. One global name standard like ENS would for example allow you to pick your Mastodon profile up and move it seamlessly to another instance, with the authorization of that cross-server move handled by the blockchain.

Claim: Susan Rosenberg is a convicted terrorist who has sat on the board of directors of Thousand Currents, an organization which handles fundraising for the Black Lives Matter Global Network.

Verdict: mixture

What's Undetermined

In the absence of a single, universally-agreed definition of "terrorism," it is a matter of subjective determination as to whether the actions for which Rosenberg was convicted and imprisoned — possession of weapons and hundreds of pounds of explosives — should be described as acts of "domestic terrorism."

I have issues getting started on things. What I find useful is to set a 10 minute timer (or five or fifteen, though I wouldn't go higher than ten myself). Then during that time you work on the problem. When the timer goes, you stop.

The point of this is that 10 minutes is short enough that most people can deal with it, but you can get something done.

You may find, once the alarm goes of, that you want to continue. This is okay, but crucially the goal here is not to trick yourself into working longer, so it is also okay to stop when the timer goes. Don't stop before the timer goes, unless you are dying or the building is on fire.

If you do 10 minutes a day, you will make some progress in a week, and there is a good chance that you want to work more on it at least some days, though that is, again, not a requirement.

As for writing, write a sloppy first draft, then refactor it into something that is better on a second or third write through. Reorganize paragraphs as needed.

It's certainly both fascinating and terrifying to watch, but wouldn't the FAA investigate, regardless of whether or not the crash was "controversial", whatever that actually means in the context of this incident (disclaimer: not a pilot)?

Also, isn't the "controversy" here basically a bunch of armchair critics/commenters?

Finance/insurance generally sticks to dates instead of timestamps for most of its data, especially since the effective date might be different from the timestamp date (e.g. a weekend or night transaction having the value date for interest calculations set to the next business day; but you also might have backdated transactions caused by various corrections). Timestamps and timezones are used for logs and auditing, but for settling money it's generally considered that the thing that matters is at the granularity of a whole date.

Of course there are things like HFT where precise time matters a lot, but there you don't schedule things years in advance, all the long-term things like mortgage schedules and insurance terms simply ignore time and timezones.
