> I believe that ERC-731 is valuable for the same reason that GIF89a is valuable.

GIFs can be created, parsed, read, played, copied, deleted on commodity hardware for free. GIFs became popular because they were so easy to exchange because video formats were so heavy and patent encumbered at the time (less so than GIF was, anyway). The cultural phenomenon of reaction GIFs arose because of its accessibility.

Tell me how a child is supposed to safely do the following: easily create a wallet, somehow get some Ethereum, and starts minting and/or buying NFTs. None of that is even remotely comparable to ease of use of GIFs on the internet.

If you want to argue that "cryptographic ownership of assets" is going to be commonplace, that's fine, but only for strictly digital onchain assets. It's never going to apply to any asset in meatspace because humans have sticks and stones to get what they want and renders your claims irrelevant.

If you lose access to your wallet for whatever reason, be it fire, flood, social engineering, forgetting your password, death, solar flare, it's gone forever. If you depended on it for anything important, there's no recourse. Let's say there are cryptocoin insurance companies. How do you prove that you don't secretly still have access to your wallet?

I am not buying it.

My Experience as a SWE Intern at Goldman Sachs

> Bitcoin did actually solve a real problem: a completely digital decentralized immutable record.

That doesn't describe a problem though, it describes a technical solution.

> I hesitate to call it a currency, but it created something that was digitally scarce.

My comment was about web3 really and the associated hype, not so much cryptocurrencies themselves. I agree there's something there, though not entirely convinced it won't always be illegal sales or scams.

> At one point the internet was also a problem looking for a solution too so I don’t think it’s a fair criticism of the technology.

I see this repeated a lot but it's just not accurate. E-mail was invented within like 2 years of the internet and immediately allowed universities to exchange messages with one another. It doesn't take a networking enthusiast to see the value in sending a textual message instantly across the globe. Meanwhile I've never seen even a description of a web3 product that doesn't rely on architecture or politics to explain why it's useful.

> But God help you if you need to do multimedia desktop publishing or do Photoshop-level editing of photos or (in my case) do anything requiring a Common Access Card.

Common Access Card's are one of my favorite examples of regulatory capture. You can use them on any OS you want, as long as it's Window's. The software to use them on Linux is free to anyone with military credentials and has no good way to test it works except by logging onto a military website.
I didn't test it. You're right, I'm simply mistaken.

Here's a better (but awkward) illustration of the problem:

:~$ python3 -c 'import sys; import shutil; shutil.copy(sys.argv[1], "foobar")' <
(echo foo ; sleep 1 ; echo bar)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "/opt/homebrew/Cellar/python@3.9/3.9.9/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/lib/python3.9/shutil.py", line 427, in copy
copyfile(src, dst, follow_symlinks=follow_symlinks)
File "/opt/homebrew/Cellar/python@3.9/3.9.9/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/lib/python3.9/shutil.py", line 257, in copyfile
raise SpecialFileError("`%s` is a named pipe" % fn)
shutil.SpecialFileError: `/dev/fd/11` is a named pipe
:~$ python3 -c 'import sys; import shutil; shutil.copy(sys.argv[1], "foobar")' =(echo foo ; sleep 1 ; echo bar)

Notice the difference:

:~$ echo =(echo foo ; sleep 1; echo bar)
/tmp/zshbusU5D
:~$ echo <(echo foo ; sleep 1; echo bar)
/dev/fd/11

/dev/fd/11 is a named pipe, whereas /tmp/zshbEF1D9 is a plain file. There are situations where named pipes fail, where you actually do need a plain file, and I can't think of a single one offhand. :)

"I've run into it in the past" is all I can say. And the above snippet at least gives one specific example of a hypothetical case.

It's a bit over the top, but I can understand the frustration. If a user has decided to opt out of using snap, and then tries to install an apt package for a piece of software, it's understandable that a dpkg that just "sneakily" installs a snap (and thus the whole of snapd etc) instead could be seen as rather subversive.
A signature? I'm sorry, are you from the past?

Joking aside, I don't see how a signature is of any use provides your card is supposed to have yours on the back, so anyone having your card has your signature too. PINs have been a thing since I've had a card (2011), and I don't see why anyone still relies on signatures for card authentication.

The way things work in developed countries is the following - payments under 30,50,100 euros (depending on the country) are contactless where you just tap your card on top and it's done, and for more you have to insert the card and type your PIN. Or you can just use your phone for any amount by tapping it.
I mean, I agree. But Y Combinator is hardly a function combinator. If the worst criticism is the name, it's a signal that may be worth paying attention to.

Amusingly, I apparently added these to scrap https://github.com/shawwn/scrap many years ago.

I named them 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. So I guess I never needed to count to 5, but I'm still two ahead of Valve. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpw2ebhTSKs

EDIT: Actually, I'd never committed 4th. It was just sitting here in my local scrap. So I guess I counted to three, realized at some later date I needed four, copied 3rd to 4th, then never committed.

Oh. Apparently I also have 'nth', which was exactly what I wanted:

> echo a b c d | nth 0 3
a d

The solution I came up with at the time:

#!/bin/bash

c=""
for n in "$@"
do
n=$((n+1))
args="${args}${c}\$$n"
c=', '
done
awk "{ print ${args}; }"

Nowadays I'd write it like:

awk "{ print $(echo "$@" | args math '1+{}' | replace '^' '$' | trim | joinlines ', '); }"

But I admit both are equally cryptic, and the former might even be more readable.

I'd take my definition from The Declaration of the Rights of Man[1]:

> Liberty consists in the freedom to do everything which injures no one else; hence the exercise of the natural rights of each man has no limits except those which assure to the other members of the society the enjoyment of the same rights.

> you go into a convenient Half-Price Books mask-free

The problem with this scenario isn't the liberty of the patron, but the liberty of the proprietor. Mask mandates have been varyingly enforced, but generally the government will issue extremely stiff fines or force closure of noncomplying businesses. I'm of the opinion that, like my house, under what conditions I choose to admit people to my business is none of anyone else's concern. I support the right to discriminate against masked and unmasked, shirted and shirtless, tall or short, and any other arbitrary criteria that the proprietor solely chooses.

> What is the dividing line between 'the government' and any other human institution

The government is the sole authority which is able to legitimately use force against you. They also govern public spaces, where you have a right to be, and reach into private interactions. If your family tells you that you have to wear a mask to see them, you can tell them to go to hell and face no consequences. If they beat you up or take your property, you have recourse: you can call the police or take them to court. None of this is true if the action (deemed "legitimate") is taken by the government. They can kidnap you, confine you against your will, and seize your property, and you have no higher power to hear your case.

I’ve recently joined Justin Sung’s icanstudy.com.au which is supposed to be an implementation of Cognitive Load Theory’s predictions. I’m finding Cognitive Load Theory to be very useful for improving my personal learning routine.

I’ve started reading Sweller’s book and from an evolutionary theory perspective, it really makes sense. Sweller argues for several principles that must be true of any information processing system.
For more context, what exactly do you mean by "production testing" and how do you think it would have fixed this issue? I spent 9 months developing a moderately complex Stripe integration, with thorough automated tests, and I never ran into any Stripe issues that I really would have considered a showstopper in terms of testing. Stripe's test environment setup was super super helpful throughout.

But this breaking change is on another level of subtle, and it impacts their entire application at a very basic level, but in a way that would be exceedingly hard to detect in almost every case. Frankly, I don't think any reasonable level of testing would have been thorough enough to catch such a subtle issue.
Are you assessing and recording your caloric intake and your macros currently? Are you assessing and recording your weight daily on a reliable scale? If not, those are the places to start. Buy some scales (body and food), get the MyFitnessPal app, and start collecting data on what you normally eat and how much you weigh over time. If you are losing weight over time, eat more of what you normally eat until you weight stabilizes.

Once your weight has stabilized and you have a baseline, go to iifym.com and develop a weight gain / bulking plan. This will be what you currently eat daily calorie wise + 200-300 calories with prescribed macros. Try to hit your newly prescribed calories and macros each day with a focus on healthy eating (track and record your food intake to monitor this) and keep track of your weight. You should aim for 1-2 lbs per week of weight gain. If you are not achieving that, increase calories by 100-200 per day until you do.

Yes, not dissimilar from torrents. Instead of being name-addressed and requiring the name owner to provide the infrastructure to serve the data (as with HTTPS), data are content-addressed so that anyone can serve the data.

Many NFTs are hosted by NFT platforms, and also by services such as https://nft.storage/ (backed by IPFS & Filecoin). It's quite trivial though to take the IPFS CID and pin it somewhere else (local computer, a pinning service like Pinata, etc.), and anyone can do it at any time. If all you want to do is be able to prove ownership at some point in the future, you don't really need to host the content indefinitely on IPFS...just host it when you need to.

> But that is a me-problem vs a he-problem.

I mean, maybe it's not really a problem. It can be really hard to work and live with someone, and there's always a balance; we perceive that it might be rude to switch into work mode and ignore someone who we know wants to spend quality time, but we only care that it might be rude because we do want to spend quality time. We want these people in our life but we want them on certain terms, and that's okay. The boundaries always shift back and forth a little. As long as you're happy with the time you do give them, I think it's natural.

With my ex, we lived together; my current gf and I have separate places. But we quarantined together through most of 2020, and she was out of work. The pandemic really forced a lot of people who might not be so compatible in terms of their expectations for attention, work habits, sleeping and eating habits, into constant close quarters. Almost all of the unmarried couples I knew split up from 2020 to now (some more than once). I think my relationship has survived this long because we're both very aware of each other's needs - including the need for alone-time and boundaries.

Anyway, it's interesting to hear someone talk about it this way. I don't know too many people in parallel work-from-home/relationship situations. I guess it's really just about communication, and it sounds like you do have that in your relationship.

I used to be like that. I couldn’t get above 75 kg no matter how much I lifted or ate protein and stuff. This solved itself by getting older. Now I still have trouble putting on muscle but getting fat is quite easy :-).

In hindsight I think it’s not a good goal to gain weight if your body doesn’t respond. I would focus on eating right and being strong, flexible and coordinated and let the weight settle wherever it wants.

If that’s how you view all studies then by all means let your kids drink coke and eat donuts all day.

But as someone who consumes alot of sugar and actively tries to prevent my child from consuming sugar. I appreciate these studies that give us insight into the affects of sugar on children. Gives me more motivation to prevent my child from getting too much sugar.
I think you may have slightly misunderstood the issue—the problem isn't that the method was returning too many accounts, the problem was that the method was returning an account unrelated to the one whose subscription had expired. Therefore, subsequent calls by the same expired user would renew for more and more random accounts—but only one random account per call.

I have the cheapest insurance plan offered at my company. The deductible is near $10k and it costs more than my mortgage. For a family of 4.
GlenTheMachine, I responded to you because what you said struck a chord in me. Were I a truth-sayer, dawn's light would once more meet your eyes.

Yet, I am split; in my older, enervated state, I simply want my tools to get the fuck out of my way. But that is mediated by my understanding of "the way", which was informed by the myriad practitioners eager to spill the secrets of how things really work (i.e. de rerum natura), and to them I give my eternal thanks.

As a photographer, perhaps you can empathize with the likes of Edgard Varèse or Charles Ives. Ives decided to earn his filthy lucre in insurance so that he could write a symphony (the rehearsal of which was hired out to the BSO) in which the 4th trumpet had but one note to play. The artistic and idealistic in a single 4th trumpet tone.

Well, we're not going to have double-blind controlled empirical data.

This could be a unit for the strength of an ideology’s reality distortion field.
That feels like an argument that could be applied to web2 too though, and it falls apart there too: It’s never been easier to spin up some servers and whip up a basic social media site or search engine or online store, but it’d still be hard to displace Facebook, Google or Amazon. The problem isn’t with the ease of starting a competitor, it’s the psychological and social forces that cause people to prefer having one default place where they can go for a certain thing.
Actually, refunds are free, but Stripe keeps the original fee for payment processing and covers it out of that. So you need to pay the transaction fee for the original purchase to make the customer whole. See https://support.stripe.com/questions/understanding-fees-for-....

As I said above, 'cultural dissimilarity' is a matter of perspective and changes all the time.

My father in law delivered newspapers in his later years. Social Security was not quite enough and he enjoyed the work.

Unlike many carriers, he got to know a ton of people oh his route.

I did it with him a few times when the paper had inserts, or the weather was onerous.

These people, many retirees, or just lonely living out in the sticks, carried on conversations with him that lasted years!

And every year at Christmas, gifts would be exchanged. He had cards, or some home made thing and it went into the box, or the porch to all those people he knew.

And some were on their porch with coffee and maybe a smoke waiting. Others would come out to the road, lean into the window and chat for a bit.

And he got more than he ever gave for Xmas. Same deal, little bit of cash, or home made stuff, jars of jam, cookies, and cards, trinkets.

I found the whole thing pretty amazing. When he passed on, quite a few people showed up. And it was the same for all of them: "He delivered my paper and we miss him"
