Most probably the OP visited the left bank of River Ishim side of Nur-Sultan which is indeed quite dull and built for cars. OTOH the right bank, the historical city, is much better IMHO, especially the central part. I was born there in 1970 and visited it quite recently in 2019, nothing much have changed there, it is still very approachable by feet and cozy, with lots of great restaurants and shops.
Huh. The standard where I work is

foo

baz

In that order
Years ago (1986) I worked on a project for one of the bigger power stations in the UK. We created a digital display which showed which way the wind was blowing so they could choose which coal to burn. They had been getting complaints about the dirt on peoples line dried clothes.

Former Corpo Bitcoin Developer and Consultant: We don't even think about you, or how you slave for a project you probably detest for money that barely covers rent in the Bay Area; all in order to one day have a chance to be able to escape the crime-ridden, woke-dystopia you've helped create and prop up in the last 20 years and maybe focus on what you probably care about much later on in life.

You're more of a cautionary tale rather than an actual entity, despite being so pervasive in tech--and often a big selling point. Which is why there has been a brain-drain in the banking and tech sector for nearly 7 years now into this ecosystem.

Maybe you should ask yourself why you weren't ever invited to join a project (despite deeming yourself one of the good devs) rather than pontificate about how you look down on others?
Sorry but I do use navigation keys when writing text or code.

Thanks, I prefer two dedicated hardware keys to delete text, instead of one and Fn+Delete.
He never said they don't care about lost revenue. I am willing to guess they considered the lost revenue, weighed it against the cost of having someone on-call 24/7, and considered that the lost revenue was cheaper.

If you look at how frequently sites like Reddit used to have downtime, it doesn't seem to matter too much for consumer products. Having half a day downtime once a year might be completely acceptable.
I am a little confused here, the y2k bug at least followed some logic.

But I am not following what about "2022" could have caused something like this in a few different areas. Can someone explain?
Ain't Java the 2nd most used language in the world, after JavaScript? The enterprise world uses Java everywhere. Java powers pretty much the entire banking infrastructure.

Aren't there billions of Java smartcards that people carry in their pocket/wallet and use on a daily basis?

Aren't there billions of Android apps installed that are, basically, Java?

One can dispute the numbers a bit but... How is Java not one of the biggest success story ever for a programming language?

I'd also add: it's kinda funny to see so many programmers hating on Java and thinking that, somehow, Java is dead or dying, yet on a daily basis they'll use one of the JetBrains tools, written in Java, to work on their "non Java" code.

I do not only think he was right to lose sleep over it: I think Java delivered.
I don't get this website. A webzine, as I understand it, is a magazine published on the web. I have followed this site since it was launched as I was waiting for it to become "more". But this is, no disrespect intended, more or less completely useless.
I don’t think I ever experienced more than two or three, and that was bad enough. Say you’ve got thirty children, thirty watches, spread over five minutes, that’s an average of one every ten seconds.
Don’t bother wasting your time. These trolls just want to make you hate yourself and your country. Of course it’s your fault comrade, if you didn’t buy caviar from Russia then they wouldn’t have to invade Ukraine to feed the workers who make the caviar. It’s always your fault nobody else’s.

The goal with these sorts of comments is to try and get liberal democracies to stop engaging in the rest of the world. If you keep getting told it’s your fault eventually you say “fine I’m done” and then that’s when they win.
Thank you. In the HEDT space a 15% improvement is quite good though.

And I am not sure Zen 4 Threadrippers would even be available this year but who knows. Plenty of rumours. I better start saving up money because I want to invest in a workstation that will last me at least 10 years (minus SSD wear). And Zen 4 / PCIe v5 / DDR-5 look preeeeeeeetty good.
What terrible phrasing is "they cease to be productive and look for ways to while away their time."

We don't live to work, we work to live. Once less work is required to live, more living can be done. Some people may 'while away their time', others do valuable things that don't produce monetary value.
What's an example of a 'simple python question that someone failed?' And was it something that truly showed incompetance?

In my experience, it turns out to be some dark corner of the language, or a keyword that's not in common use today. Examples are: 'void' in JavaScript and 'boxing' in C#
Java didn't kill Microsoft though.
Then again I think it's inarguable (I'm clearly wrong, people will argue with it) that modern life for most of us is incomparably better than the lives most of us had in the past. My kids are 17/18 now, while I was the same age back in the early 80s. There's no comparison. The quality of life available on even a modest salary nowadays is far, far better.

One drag on this is property prices. A huge amount of people's incomes go into property, but that's largely something we do to ourselves and each other. There's a very inflexible housing market here in the UK, so we're all in competition for the best houses, and bid up their value against each other.
This piece is an interesting complement: https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2012/05/09/welcome-to-the-future-...

"This also explains why so few futurists make any money. They are attracted to exactly those parts of the future that are worth very little. They find visions of changed human behavior stimulating. Technological change serves as a basis for constructing aspirational visions of changed humanity. Unfortunately, technological change actually arrives in ways that leave human behavior minimally altered.

Engineering is about finding excitement by figuring out how human behavior could change. Marketing is about finding money by making sure it doesn’t."

Do you have more detailed explanations about this project? radiomesh.org homepage doesn't contain a lot of info.

You may be interested to check out projects like GNU Name System, or routing mechanisms such as CJDNS. Tor's onion services are also very interesting as a global secure naming scheme.
I find odd that there was no discussion about figuring out edge cases and testing specifically for those instead of random values. Especially for functions with large domains, having few hand-picked test values could give much more confidence than thousands of random values.

Additionally with generated test values figuring out the validation logic becomes complex, and in complexity lies potential for bugs. If your testing code more complex than the code being tested, do you really gain that much confidence about the correctness? In comparison with hard-coded test values you can also hard-code the expected results, which can be gotten from some reference or just manually checked for correctness.

Of course ideally you'd have both random fuzzing and more manually defined tests, but that is setting quite high bar.
Interesting tool.

I do understand this very well as someone who builds process automation tools. There are infinite menial jobs to automate, but in the end the benefit is only realised by the capital owners and employers, rarely the employees.
For at least the next 5 years afterwards Java applications on the desktop were clunky, slow, and not a threat to anyone.
Problem is, sometimes you don't have a say on what motivates you because life happens.

Ask any struggling freshly divorced parent who's trying to provide for their kids and suck up all the toxicity from her workplace because paying the rent matters more than loving what you do.
The error with your brain is that it thinks that a behavior which has been genetically engineered over millenia to be the most effective way to interact with your children should be consistent with/follow the same rules as you use in adult conversation.

Other than that, you're fine.
There's a critical difference here in intent. When I buy a game on Steam, I want to play it once and then forget about it. Same for a book on a Kindle. People buying NFTs seem to hope for some permanent value instead.
https://ccaf.io/cbeci/mining_map

This data is from geolocation of the IP's of miners connecting to the servers of mining pools. Note the obvious flaws in the methodology:

1. IP geolocation data may not accurately represent the location of the mining hardware (e.g. VPNs could be used)
2. The participating mining pools may not be a representative sample of the total hashrate distribution.

So take the data with a grain of salt. Especially since China banned all crypto mining in the past year, going from a reported 35% share to nothing in an instant, it seems plausible some miners are operating underground using a VPN. Some people are saying that up to 20% of total capacity is actually still operating in China.
It should. The idea is, you never format or delete what is in /home.
Nice work. The historical view of where research is going is great to see.
I just wanted to give an A+ for Hugo's quickstart. This HN post was coincidentally exactly what I had been wondering about. From the wealth of replies, I narrowed down my choices to Jekyll and Hugo. Both require a little bit of work to render LaTeX, but Hugo seemed more tailored to newbies like myself.

I finally got around to trying it and used Hugo's quick-start guide: https://gohugo.io/getting-started/quick-start/. I've never been able to breeze through a quick-start so seamlessly. Everything worked as advertised and with no prior knowledge I was able to see a post on my local machine in < 2 minutes. I'm amazed that the local server command `hugo server -D` works so seamlessly.

I've yet to add LaTeX but the quickstart makes me very optimistic. Thanks again to the creators of Hugo for such a friendly quick-start.
I agree, I got bitten already more than one time, and it's ridiculous how can they get away with it.

How's not that an infringement?
Pigou had just published the economics of welfare two years earlier.
The tragedy of the commons would only be published in 1968.
I wonder how much externalities were a commonly known concept in 1922.

One of the comments from the linked article... things break if you write the date in this format to a 32 bit integer.

"It hasn't been in the news much but yesterday the date was written by many computers as 2201010001 (YYMMDDHHMM). Many older computers that store the date this way cannot handle any number bigger than 2147483647, so as soon as the year began with a 22, it fails and can no longer register the date/time correctly."
Today we will discuss news from Kazakhstan. People took to the streets because of the rise in prices for liquefied gas.
I don't think it's as a clean a separation as that. Emscripten supplies many things. Some libc-like, some os-like, including a filesystem api. This adds things like pipes, concurrent processes, signals and sockets, and makes the emscripten filesystem api shared across "processes" (web workers). It's borrowing from other code, too, like BrowserFS.
Progress depends on people or, the economy in general, progressing. If everyone is happy where they are and want no more, there is no need to innovate and progress stops. That may be fine if we think we have achieved all we need to achieve as a society or species but most think we have a bit of a ways to go still before we can declare victory.

Well, my software is always correct.

Sometimes the spec is a bit wrong, like forgetting to be explicit in precisely how the system should crash on a certain unexpected input.
An extreme example, but I do miss those days.
> If you’re running a website where extended outages are no big deal and you don’t care about lost revenue, then it’s not really a valid comparison to the typical business website.

I think you're severely underestimating how many businesses make a significant amount of money from their website, but doesn't actually have full-time developer available. An extended outage would cause significant revenue loss, but it's typically not a problem because outages are surprisingly rare when you (1) have a very stable traffic pattern and (2) you don't spend a lot of time adding features and refactoring. Pretty much every cloud outage we've seen was caused by a human configuration error, not fault machines.

I don't know who downvoted you, but — terse as it is — I think this is the best recommendation in the thread.

From what I can tell, the primary players in the local-first vault space are legacy 1Password, the pass ecosystem, KeePass[.*], and Enpass.

1Password is aggressively abandoning this market to pursue rent-seeking, and using shady practices to nudge their former customers that way.

KeePass and pass are similar: more ecosystems than products, their password file implementations are documented and there's a broad ecosystem. I didn't find any of the options compelling though.

-- For pass in particular, I'm not an Alfred user, so the macOS integrations don't make a lot of sense to me, though I might play with it at some point later. The Firefox extension seems pretty minimal but maybe worthwhile. All in all the ecosystem seems promising but immature.

-- For KeePass, Strongbox had the smoothest consistency on macOS/iOS, but doesn't support KeePassHTTP, so can't be used with any of the desktop browser extensions, and on iOS KeePassium is a lot faster / doesn't fight me. I ended up trying MacPass (→ KeePassHTTP Connector) and KeePassium. This worked okay, but MacPass was finicky about running in the background, and always forgot where my keyfile was every time it started up. I would revisit KeePass if there were a good full-blown desktop client on every major OS (even if it were Electron) and browser integrations that weren't reliant on using http for IPC.

Enpass is a proprietary solution but built on open standards. They haven't published a full spec of their password database, but they published a lot of information about their use of SQLCipher and what encryption, how they do key derivation, and initialization vectors, so that the format was pretty quickly worked out from there. I would prefer if they made it an open standard like KeePass, but they are helpful rather than hostile to community reverse engineering, so that'll work. The app works great, better UI than 1Password (more organized if slightly less flashy), and the browser extension handles password changes better than anything I've ever seen (though it still confuses some things). I spent a couple hours yesterday reviewing all my weak/old/compromised passwords and changing them. Enpass made this drastically easier than any other tool I've used. The OTP support also seemed to work better than with 1Password, and I've been able to cut back on the number of annoying text message confirmations I get. I pretty quickly sprang for the paid version of Enpass and I think this is where I'm gonna stay for a while — and what I'm going to recommend to others.

It is an excellent article, I agree. However, it strikes me that the author was more likely female than male. (gender deliberately obscured in the author's name, 'W.L. George', for instance.).

If a male writer, the article is even more impressive given the clear sensitivity to, and awareness of, women's issues and the likely impact of technology and social changes on women.

That said, the author was likely a person of privilege rather than someone more representative of the population of 1922. A starving writer was unlikely to have been so focused on the challenges of hiring good household staff.

Specifically? Maybe not. If it were a Ponzi scheme I think all of that dark bitcoin supposedly held by "Satoshi" would have been converted to real money a long time ago.

But cryptocurrency and derived technologies like NFTs are for the most part scams in the general sense. The type of scam varies but the system is ideal for the unscrupulous to fleece the get rich quick, tech illiterates who think they are smarter than they really are.
> Some of these sectors don't engage in wage-labor production, or aren't dominated by it, and so aren't capitalist, while others are

You seem to be relying on a rather narrow definition of "capitalism".

No but it did a pretty good job of finishing off COBOL.
Good point, I missed that pet and I think prevents the whole scenario I wrote. So it seems safe given that people aren’t likely to appoint randos their successor.
And when you leave aside Java (the language) and consider the jvm platform broader ecosystem with all the various interoperable languages like kotlin, scala, clojure… it’s a huge space.

I understand some level of heathy criticism but, I don’t really understand the level of hate the jvm gets.

When you look at recent and upcoming features, a lot of the complaints about it being “heavy” are being directly addressed.
I'm pretty sure everyone who bought Leisure Suit Larry thought it was possible.
Hi, I have no idea from the psychological point of view, but maybe (a) to practice interviews would help? I don't mind helping with remote simulations. (b) consider saying you are very stressful at the start of the interview so they will take it into account (c) if the interview doesn't go well maybe say you find interviews stressful and ask for an home exam, you can also ask before the interview. (d) maybe have a friend in the room with you during the interview (depending on the camera position they may not see him/her) (e) consider saying in advance you have anxiety, need to consider if telling this will indeed increase the chance of landing the job. (f) consider taking research jobs, and generally jobs where communication isn't constant and job pace is slower, also companies with few people may be good if you don't need to interact with clients etc. (g) does shutting down the camera helps? Maybe tell you have a camera issue or ask if it's possible to do the interview without a camera. (h) usually the more interviews you do, the more experience you get at doing interviews and success chances are higher, I think that applies to anyone, so it's ok to fail interviews, as long as you keep trying you'll probably succeed, as long as you remember failing is a way to improve for the next time, and don't take it as something that says anything negative about your skills or you, I've found interviews to be a subject on its own, one that often needs dedicated practicing.
Many cryptocurrencies do have utility by running small programs or storing data. The coin economy on top incentivizes people to participate.

I'm an American and can tell you that whatever you think of Trump - the Democrats, MSNBC etc. chose to deal with him by implying, or even saying, that he was a Trojan horse put in by Putin, that the house of representatives was run by "Moscow" Mitch McConnell, that Trump was put in by Moscow fixing the elections etc. With little mention of US/CIA/NED involvement in subverting Russia within Russia, being involved in color revolutions etc. Victoria Neuland and people like her have been doing it almost openly, and she has shown contempt not just for Russia but Western Europe ("Fuck the EU") as well.

So you have upper middle class Europeans, and some upper middle class Europeans living in their media bubble. Other views outside this bubble are heretical and suspicious.

Even YC founder Paul Graham touched on this lightly in his essay about how "submarine" PR articles about men's formal suits make it into the press. Noam Chomsky (who also writes books about the language of Turing machines) covers the corporate media more thoroughly. People who actually talk about what the US is doing like journalist (and former programmer of open source port scanners) Julian Assange are imprisoned.

Also, Kazakhstan has troops coming in from Belarus, Tajikistan, Armenia and Russia. So just mentioning Russia in the headline is already a slant.
Yeah, I know about it. If I only could do it... :(
If you are really curious about this, may I suggest you read an anthropologists investigation on economic systems in pre-historic (and early historic) times?
