Perhaps Etsy is a good choice. It will bring some accidental business in, plus it will provide a seller system for listing/showing items.

Marketing isn't really a concern. He can post a photo/link on his Facebook periodically. He's retired, and his works win awards... so just having a website where people can see them is probably enough.

I'll look into Etsy. If that doesn't seem right for this, then I'll perhaps fall back to WP.
And they got at least two new competitors, three if you count Oracle. You really think they did not foresee that?
What is the point of this article? “I was miserable before and didn’t know what I want, so I took it out on my family and now I’m still miserable and don’t know what I want”? Congrats on putting up Christmas decorations I guess. Also this passage is a real gem:

“I wanted to be thinking about art and sex and politics and the patriarchy. How much of my life—I mean the architecture of my life, but also its essence, my soul, my mind—had I built around my husband? Who could I be if I wasn’t his wife? Maybe I would microdose. Maybe I would have sex with women. Maybe I would write a book. Not a book about real estate!”

Lol ok good luck with that. So tonedeaf, I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a more apt write up of privileged liberal malaise.

And in other news... GS analyst makes millions trading his dads retirement account after getting job at GS.

These wankers had millions and millions to pivot to something they were already familiar with, doing or connected to. Started the business with just 4k in his parents living room, yeah sure he did. This wanker had plenty of help or insider connections. Notice how one guy is standing in a warehouse that would cost 200-300k + a month to lease and the other guy is standing in the yard area of a port smiling, his dad is probably in charge of the port.

Go try to buy a shipping container and tell me how it goes.
I think we bought into it because it looks plausible. In the original image[0], the boundary between the leaf and the person's face looks legitimately blended in a way that only AI auto-filling does. From that, it's not a leap to extrapolate that the leaf itself was auto-filled from the surroundings.

Yeah, I think you're thinking about debt wrong with the last statement.

If you can borrow at 0.5% and have a fairly reliable system to get 10% returns, is your debt and ability to borrow "dirty laundry" or an "asset"?

You are totally correct, this is only a typo in latex which I have just pushed a fix for. Thank for you the note.
I was browsing Handshake repos on github and noticed a pull request that added sign/verify [1] on the Bob Extension [2] on Github. This piqued my interested, and of course, it was time to hack away again.
The result is applause [3] which lets you post and applaud (sign) your and other people's messages. This website does not require a login or signup because it uses the decentralized Handshake [4] blockchain.

It's open source on github [5] and mixes Web 2 and Web 3 together causing some interesting benefits.

It supports drag and drop among other things!

Hope you like it!

That line is fine if the bolt winding itself loose is your only failure scenario, but some might have others as well. What of they clamp a part that can subtly deform in certain exceptional situations? Then you could have a bolt with zero tension that is still perfectly aligned with the marker line from when it was properly torqued.

What I find somewhat surprising is that they make the "ok" indication black. The cry for attention state in red seems nicely intuitive at first glance, but given the market they serve they should be far more concerned with false negatives than with false positives and I imagine that it would be very easy for dirt or bad lighting to make a red indicator remain unnoticed in an inspection. Perhaps the color choice is an inherent property of the chemistry involved?
The paragraph that struck me the hardest in this was the following:
"To execute quantitative easing, a trader at the New York Fed would call up one of the primary dealers, like JPMorgan Chase, and offer to buy $8 billion worth of Treasury bonds from the bank. JPMorgan would sell the Treasury bonds to the Fed trader. Then the Fed trader would hit a few keys and tell the Morgan banker to look inside their reserve account. Voila. The Fed had instantly created $8 billion out of thin air, in the reserve account, to complete the purchase. Morgan could, in turn, use this money to buy assets in the wider marketplace."

I still need to research what this means but is it essentially saying that the fed is just giving these large banks money for free under the assumption they will buy assets to pump the market? It seems crazy that the fed is actively selecting winning institutions this way.
It should be possible to get the birth certificate eventually, though Covid will slow things down.

My father died in Thailand without a will, and settling his estate involved proving that I was the only person left to inherit. That meant a very long chain of authentication of birth certificates, death certificates, and divorce documents.

For example, I ordered my grandmother's death certificate from the city of Chicago, got it authenticated by the Illinois Department of State, got that authenticated by the US Department of State, got that authenticated by the Thai embassy in the US, got that authenticated by the Thai government in Thailand.

Repeat for for another dozen documents. I was able to do it all remotely, by mail, but it took more than a year.

When it was all done, I went in front of a judge in Pattaya in Thailand. I was worried that some Thai lady would suddenly appear claiming to be his wife (I suppose that happens at least once a week there). But in the end it was anticlimactic.

I'm curious what kind of questions Stripe asks.

I've encountered "practical" interview problems at various places also, esp. for frontend roles. But while not leetcode, many of them were things you still wouldn't code up in daily work - at least not serendipitously from scratch in 20-40 minutes with little to no references available.

My solution to this was...also grinding.
Never underestimate the power of starting your root cause analysis with the assumption that it's pilot error! At least, when doing my own root cause analysis, it has saved me a lot of embarrassment to assume that I did something stupid and to rigorously rule out all possibilities before I blame someone else.
FAANG companies literally pay about twice as much, as random regular tech companies.

It's not terribly clear I would agree, but what I said was there is a reason crypto adoption is huge in some countries.

For example, El Salvador recently made Bitcoin legal tender. In Venezuela it's in everyday use: https://www.caracaschronicles.com/2021/11/02/a-snapshot-of-c...

The "reason" I was referring to was the context of the discussion, ie, whether or not crypto is legitimately useful for anything. Well, it is - it's tremendously useful, even vital, to the underprivileged populations of some countries.

One of those uses I gave as an easy example, is cross-border payments, and indeed nevertheless I suppose it could still be argued this could also be "huge" in some places.

Of course mainstream content providers are not going to use BT to deliver content, despite it being well-suited in many ways and would save them a shit-tonne in expenses and benefit consumers greatly. The problem is its unfounded stigma, which is fuelled by precisely the same kind of uneducated hyperbole seen here regarding crypto.

Look, the simple facts are the following:

- the existing monetary system is either collapsing, inefficient, holding us back, or all three

- a new monetary system has been developed that is already replacing the worst excesses and failures of the old one. It's been in use and development for over a decade and has grown into the trillions

There are no other alternatives I'm aware of with even remotely the same level of adoption, person-hour investment, or financial backing that could possibly have a hope in hell of replacing the incumbent systems anytime soon.

Iterative updates and sad caricatures of crypto run by governments are not going to preserve your life savings when a government defaults on debt and freezes citizens bank withdrawals.

Existing crypto can do and has done that, among other things.
"Nobody is entitled to get a company’s services for free just because you think their price is too high or their front ends aren’t built to your liking." Tell this to Google!
My life is sort of 50-50. Half is at an all time high, half at an all time low. Hopefully the low end gets a few points.
> Then I realised that if heat death of the universe is our ultimate destiny (and certainly our own death before that), then life really is all about the journey anyway and I suppose nothing is really more meaningful than anything else.

And yet, some activities leave me feeling empty and others feel like they were time well spent. Is that distinction a genuine insight, or just another socially imposed arbitrary judgement?
I'm in my 50's, this experience will happen several more times in your life. It is good to learn how to recognize it and sit with it, ultimately accepting it and moving on from it.

> Yet I can't seem to fully rekindle the same energy of my younger self.

I went through this in my late 30's early 40's (in my 50's now). You never will recapture that invicible excitement of your early 20's, you only find new forms. If you read literature, this is literally the topic of thousands of poems, epics, sagas, songs, and novels. I think it is wrong that teenagers are forced to read these classics, when the the woes and laments they describe are purely for older people.

I am not a psychotherapist, obviously, but since you are asking for advice:

1. The mourning will end, but it will come again in some other form; this is unavoidable part of life. Normalizing that is part of the battle.

2. Everyone in the history of humanity has gone through what you are going through. It is part of the rite of adulthood. Honor the fact that you have finally had the experience.

3. Create new memories. New memories push old memories back into past. If you don't create new memories, you will ruminate on your last ones. Like Al Bundy always fantasizing about his highschool touchdown late into his 50's (american TV show!).

4. Meeting new people helps create new memories. Find new groups. In the past 30 years I have done the following:

- Gaming groups (local game store has walk-in night where you can sit and play new games with strangers)

- Pub trivia (I found a team)

- Hiking (local meetup)

- Pottery lessons

- French lessons (taken at my local college in the adult program, LOTS of private parties, dinners & events that were french themed)

- Teaching programming to the local hacker club(s)

- Stained-glass window making lessons

- Carpentry lessons

- Getting into deep-woods backpacking

I took a lot of classes.

But you get the gist. I have SO many memories that my brain is a blur after decades of this and I need pictures to remind myself of all of the comedy/tragedy I've been through.

Good luck!
Isn’t the fact that they got cut in half (and other examples, peloton for example) evidence that this isn’t a bubble. There are companies that are exploding in value, yes, but also companies just getting crushed left and right. If you’re growing, your value is very high, but miss your targets and boom, bye bye froth.
> Its also important to remember that wilderness does not mean people are not there, so if you do something stupid thinking noones around so noone can get hurt, you might still hurt someone.

And just because people aren't directly in the path of a falling plane doesn't mean that the pilot isn't putting people's lives at risk. The recent rains have improved the situation a bit, but a plane crash in the remote mountains of Southern California? That's how you get wildfires.
They send out emails but also just around major holidays and just randomly. They use this page most of the time from what I can tell https://us.ovhcloud.com/deals

Sometimes though they'll send targeted email offers that are not on the site and are good for older hardware but at a really cheap price.

The most important thing here is if you're asking this question right as you finish college and this is your goal, then you're screwed up.

Why? Because resume-building for high-profile employers begins long before graduation. Probably the most important factor: internships. Getting an internship is the highest-probability way of getting an offer bar none. If you don't have 1 or preferably 2 internships under your belt then you've made a mistake.

The second is that passing interview loops is a skill. It's one that can be studied for, learned and practiced. And if you're serious about this then you should do that. Many recommend CLRS [1] as a source for this. Personally, my choice would be Skiena [2]. Go through all the chapters on sorting and searching, lists, trees, graphs and possibly dynamic programming (some employers use this in interviews, some don't). Backtracking is useful but I've never seen it in an interview.

Do the same problems on an actual whiteboard. Don't just think about it. Get comfortable enough with any popular language (eg Javascript, Python, C/C++, Go, Java) such that the syntax and common libraries are second nature.

It's not unsalvageable to do this at the end of college (if that's the case). You just need to commit a few months to it.

Some will ask "why FAANG?" and the answer is obvious: the money can be life-changing but even aside from that it's an opportunity to learn a lot and having that on your resume is amazing social proof that will quickly eclipse the value of going to a top-tier school.

This needs to be compared to clearnet for it to paint an accurate picture, which has reached 64% recently[1]. Though this figure comes from summing "good bots" with "bad bots", Cloudflare seems to have done the same ("automated requests", "content scraping").

That's good to know. It is a hindrance to Web3 adoption that such mechanisms aren't in place: It would certainly prevent me from relying on a service.

But what would a 3rd party or 2/3 party consensus use that would differ from current mechanisms?

There would also need to be some care taken to make sure that such 3rd parties don't become centralized choke points themselves: They would be somewhat essential, so any service(s) that did this could rise to dominance either as a monopoly or a cartel.
Happy new year!

My goal for the next year is to do no mindless SoMe consumption, and instead create and market what i build, or relax or take a nap or whatever is the right thing to do, which is never instafacetok for 2 hours.

I don't. If facebook works on VR, that just gives a general push in that area in my opinion. It would be really sad, if fb will be the only option, but I doubt that. In either case, a "coma" patient not being able to move, would be probably thankful for any option.
Additional notes since people are graciously providing replies and suggestions! :)

This is unoffensive, professional level paintings of nostalgic things like typewriters, telephones, gas cans, shaving brushes, etc. None of it should be at risk of any kind of censorship or legal challenges.

The artist is a retired guy (my father), so high effort marketing is not an option. The main need is just to have a good place to show off everything he's painted.

It's basically a question of what platform or service is ideal for presenting a personal gallery, and optionally with payment processing. Thus far Etsy and Wordpress with plugins have been suggested. My own experience with Shopify makes me think that is an option, although less tailored to the purpose.
Contract to hire. Easier initial interview. I still had to do a full FTE interview afterwards, but I had the extreme advantage that everyone on the team had already made up their mind. So some of them lobbed softballs, especially the manager.
I had forgotten about this, it's a bit fiddly but absolutely worth mentioning.

Why there isn't just an option to have cmd-tab show all windows is beyond me. As someone with sometimes several browser windows and often dozens of terminals open, this is just so painful.
Yeah, it has that very distinct blurry mess look that you get with all the AI stuff that is always conveniently skipped over.

And frankly looking at the original picture again, focus is no excuse for that. Yes, there is a leaf, no, the AI whizbang still blurred it all to crap.
I find that people on here are _extremely_ uncharitable when it comes to anything Apple
Don't those installations tend to use a commercially supported distribution (RHEL in this particular case)? I've never worked on anything similar but find it really hard to believe you'd go around installing a "community enterprise" distribution on critical infrastructure.
>So the client does the verification? Or is it the relay?

From the README:

> A relay is very simple and dumb. It does nothing besides accepting posts from some people and forwarding to others. Relays don't have to be trusted. Signatures are verified on the client side

---

> So when your client lists the chronological most recent posts you get a bunch of fake manipulated content that was mass generated by the relay itself for example.

From the README:

> Each client can decide how to best show posts to users, so there is always the option of just consuming what you want in the manner you want — from using an AI to decide the order of the updates you'll see to just reading them in chronological order.
Happy New Year!

Professionally, I plan to further my side project with educational YouTube videos on algorithms and data structures, which brings me great joy.

As I'm in higher education, which has taken a huge COVID-19 hit (not sure I will get (much) better anytime soon), I'm considering whether it is worth pivoting into an industry career.
That’s me.

And, yes, plus Chickenize has some fun documentation.
esup is a great way to see where the time is going. It's not really a big deal in the grand scheme of things but it's also a good way to learn about autoloads etc.
To add onto this very good explanation from Paul, in practice, audio processing graphs always rapidly decay into serial processing after starting out massively parallel. Most of the time, we are writing to a single output (i.e. speakers via your audio interface or a file). On top of that, some of the heaviest weight DSP happens on this final output stage (mastering chains with multiband compressors, linear phase equalizers, limiters etc.) So every 5.3ms (256 sample buffer @ 48kHz sample rate) we start massively parallel processing all the leaf nodes (audio tracks with sound files, virtual instruments and synths) and end up bottlenecking as the tree collapses into a line. Then we are stuck doing some of the most CPU intensive work on a single core since we can’t process the limiter DSP plug-in until the EQ finishes its work, for example.

We need to meet our real-time deadline or risk dropping buffers and making nasty pops and clicks. That mastering stage can pretty easily be the limiting (hah) step that causes us to miss the deadline, even if we processed hundreds of tracks in parallel moments before in less time.

The plug-in APIs (AudioUnits, VSTs, AAX) which are responsible for all the DSP and virtual instruments are also designed to process synchronously. Some plug-ins implement their own threading under the hood but this can often get in the way of the host application’s real-time processing. On top of that, because the API isn’t designed to be asynchronous, the host’s processing thread is tied up waiting for the completed result from the plug-in before it can move on.

Add on that many DSP algorithms are time-dependent. You can’t chop up the sample buffer into N different parts and process them independently. The result for sample i+1 depends on processing sample i first.

Probably depends on whether or not RNG counts as a "game of throwing dice".
No it didn't. The point still stands that AI enhanced images have a credibility and admissibility problem. This one example turning out to not have been altered in the way we thought it was by the enhancer doesn't invalidate the broader questions brought forth by the discussion.
I worked at an internet of things startup for 3 years. Note that my profession is technical writer, not SWE. Google recruited me and I told them to check back in a year because I was learning a lot at the startup. Sure enough they did follow up after a year. At that time I was ready to move on.
Also, you want a fast FPU to do openssl work [0]. A standard 8088/8086 without an FPU is going to need an FPU emulator which is a slow process. You essentially have to throw an illegal instruction exception each time you want to execute FPU code. Then catch the exception and then emulate the 8087 in software. All this takes dozen to thousands of clock cycles on a 4.77MHz CPU depending on the FP instruction. Spending thousands of cycles per FP instruction while interrupts were disabled was costly on machines before 486s. They simply didn’t have the speed to make FPU emulation standard. Many commercial compilers for C/C++, Pascal, Fortran, and BASIC had FPU emulators as does MicroWeb’s choice of OpenWatcom.

According to this benchmark, a low end 486/25MHz was over 1000x faster than a 286/6MHz with software FPU. The Pentium 10x faster still. [1]
