Would actually be fun to work from inside the Minecraft client all day, get bored and you can take a quick break to go build something. Spend the rest of day at something like a ComputerCraft terminal, make notes in-game. Sounds really fun in my head but would probably get bored really quickly.
For me: Git Tower,
MoneyMoney (German banking app, absolutely fantastic),
Fantastical,
to some degree also OmniFocus.

Plus first-party apps like Safari with its fluid trackpad gestures, Photos with its iCloud integration, and of course Xcode, because being able to build/debug things for macOS/iOS is a bonus feature I can offer as a developer.

The list is a lot shorter than 10 or 15 years ago. Most new apps that come out are Electron, but even then there's sometimes no Linux port (Trello, WhatsApp).
no, it's way too hacky, don't want to copy several GBs of files through the intermediary

my colleagues used approach with manually launching nc on hosts X and Y to avoid using the intermediate host. But that's also hacky ( though probably faster than ssh due to lack of encryption )
Not inclined to you but in general: Someone does X and then judge Y because they have some axe to grind about Y. I despise attitude like this. It's the kind of woke activism that has made the world so toxic.

> It’s important that we outspend the adversary if we want secure money.

Money has been secure for literally thousands of years before PoW was invented. Sure, PoW works, but it's the most wasteful solution to the problem of securing transactions that has ever been invented in the history of the world.
It's a bit like living in a hotel, I feel. More of a place to sleep than a place to live. And for some people, that's just fine - I can see setups like this really work for people who spend their day at work and their spare time out as well. Might work for e.g. airbnb's, but you'll want something cheaper and more idiot / roughhousing proof for that purpose. And expats or contractors who need to be put up in an apartment for, idk, up to a year.

It's no longer viable if there's more than one person in a place like this though.

Why? Because hopefully it will get you interested in saving and investing.
You dated him for 2-3 months. I dated him for almost 2 years. You do not know him the way I do. It takes at least 2 years to really get to know a person you’re dating. You’re still in your 20s and probably haven’t had a relationship that long based on your behavior and age. You can’t seem to move on. I’m really sorry your heart got broken and things didn’t work out. Believe me, I’ve had many heartbreaks and sometimes I didn’t act sane when it was hard to let go. Maybe Alex was your first love? I’m ashamed of my behavior with one of my exes, too. I created a fake number like you, but not several as you did, and it took me maybe up to 6-12 months to finally move on.., not 2 years… not to compare, I mean we are still in the midst of a pandemic. One day your heart will heal. Give it time. And forgive Alex in your head, not for him, but for your healing heart

Once again you toss out these hot terms/hashtags like “abuse,” “metoo.” Alex does get depressed and moody sometimes, but he had never laid his hands on me nor emotionally abused me. I don’t mean to negate what you believe you went through. But my relationship with him was not abusive. It was sweet, affectionate, and loving, and we made each other laugh, and we both felt completely comfortable to let ourselves be who we are without pretense or trying. We’re both goofy and fun, like to explore, and love art and nature, dancing, exploring, traveling, and just being together gave us such peace and joy! One day, you’ll find true love that matches you and doesn’t feel like abuse, too. We still fought, but all couples do. And I admit I have a bad temper lol, which is why I’m partially to blame for why things got out of hand, but I’m working on it. No one is perfect. There is no perfect love, just loving someone perfectly, and knowing that when the love is reciprocated, you’ll work through the hard things. Work on yourself instead of trying to change and ruin others, and you’ll be much happier, and attract another great guy! You seem like a smart, creative gal. Let 2022 be your year to focus on nurturing you
The alternative is to say something of actual substance instead of an empty statement saying it's useful because it's useful.
Sure, but since the page is called "Donate Bitcoin" and the announcement is explicitly mentioning Dogecoin, Bitcoin and Ethereum, I think it's safe to assume they are mainly focused on Bitcoin.

Maybe take a look at some of the distribution of coins. It’s not all US people that are using this. Nigeria has per capita more Bitcoin users than the US.

I get it. Your money is safe in FDIC insured banks. There are billions of people that don’t have this luxury. This is for them. And you, if you don’t trust those banks.
You’re right, many of the biggest winners are ironically probably the same players. Probably lots of white, well educated, male, geeks. But the barrier to entry is way lower. Consider rules against “pattern day trading”. Sometimes to make more than 2 equity trades in a day, you need $25,000. To invest in anything besides bare equities, bonds, options, you need $1M+. This is US specific, but it’s common. Average people are literally not allowed to trade “exotic derivatives”. Cryptocurrency opens up the option of putting $100, $500 or $1000 (some tokens sell for fractions of fractions of a penny) into a range of games, derivatives, and other assets that you can trade 24/7, 365. You can create one yourself and make it available to everyone in less than 30 minutes, for free. You need a web browser and some money or credit (not much). Pay your taxes, and you’re good to go. The other options available to people are boring and take decades to pay off on average even if you do it right. But they provide the same thing - no one really cares what stock they own. They are speculating, playing money games. I think there is huge pent up demand for money games because it’s so hard to get into “traditional” finance. Even if you get in, there’s very few games available to you on Wall Street.

And you’re right it is the same economy, just open to all, and with way more fun ideas like flash loans (impossible in traditional finance), no-loss lotteries, decentralized automated market maker exchanges, tokens you can stake for other tokens that represent the interest and the principle which can then be traded again, etc.

Should it be allowed? Up for debate. I’m strongly against any rule that says “you’re too stupid, this is for your own good”.
>Can I make requests for data generated during my time in the EU?

Yes.

If a data controller (or processor) is based in the EU then they must comply with the GDPR regardless of where you are/were.

If a data controller (or processor) aren't based in the EU, then they must comply with the GDPR when they're processing personal data about you when you are physically in the EU.

So far in the UK hospitalisations are increasing, but not dramatically so. There's also brouhaha about how London (where the wave is the worst) is at its peak, or already on the way down.

https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/

[bear in mind, the hospitalisation number is not quite what it seems. It is "people in hospital who happen to have Covid", not "people who got Covid so bad they need to be hospitalised". So if you have asymptomatic Covid and a broken leg, you count for this purpose. Still, you do require the whole Covid-safe theatre, medical staff in PPE so it's also not like "meh doesn't matter"]
In my opinion, everybody who doesn't think it's hard to escape did not research Apple well enough. I showed you (some) evidence that it's a closed ecosystem. You could show me something suggesting it's not, if you are so sure.
I didn't think blockchains had to be turing complete. What definition do you use that requires that? I can't see that the original bitcoin paper implies such a requirement, but maybe it can be derived somehow.
No, you can’t. If you follow the axioms of the cryptocurrency evangelists to their logical ends, transferring cryptocurrency to another wallet is something that happens entirely in virtual space.

Of course, this virtual space is coupled with physical space, by hugely centralized entities called exchanges. To get your money across the border, you need to deal with them. In that case the physical value you can buy with your cryptocurrency comes about from the exchange, not the currency.

Value is a physical thing, not a virtual thing. That’s because we live in the physical, not the virtual world. But we’ll readily delude ourselves into believing that’s not the case.
A bit involved, but regularly contributing to an open source project that you like might work.
More cases means usually faster ability to spread, which again usually indicates that the virus is getting milder, so to answer you first q: yes.At this point covid realistically cannot be eradicated, i would say even if you achieve 80%+ vaccination rate worldwide(which we won't).To answer your second question i doubt we'll have more hospitalizations than delta.And to also state the obvious: by the time we get a 'jab' against omicron, we'll have another variant out there, whether identified & named or not.
Crypto offers zero protection from fraud, as transactions are non reversible however if you pay by credit card goods are not delivered or if your card is used fraudulently, the credit card issuer can and will reverse the transactions. Also due to PCI standards almost all online transactions are done via a third party, PCI compliant payment processor.

I don't see the value crypto is adding here. If you did have misplaced worries about being a victim to CC fraud, seems like it would be easier to use a prepaid credit card, debit card that you only transfer funds to when making purchases or a service like paypal.
Bitcoin is tied to the physical world the same way every other currency is tied to the physical world. Right now you can transfer abstract value you have acquired without a 1-2% fee through bitcoin, which is much easier than doing it via a bank. For example a poker player needing to get 1 million dollars to Monaco to play a tournament would have to pay 1% (10,000$) and wait god knows how long if he went through the banks, with bitcoin that process is much smoother.
To look at a different angle, I would imagine the traffic isn't evenly distributed, and part of being happy with your offering will be if things don't grind to a halt during peaks.
I know, but it is impressive that they are doing it for $400.
My HP ZBook from 2014 has upgradable CPU and GPU. I guess that after a few years the problem would be to find a new part that fits into the slots or somebody selling an old compatible one at a reasonable price.

No it not an option unless you are going to pay the cancellation and rescheduling fees of hotels and other transport for everyone.

So more tax on middle class people?

So are you prepared to pay higher prices for everything which is transported by fossil fuels, if you keep doing that you will get a revolution, people will just fight and protest and vote out any politician who supports such taxes.

Because caching is part of the HTTP spec. If content doesn't change on every request, you cache it with a timeout. If users are looking at your site from around the world, you want the cache to exist as close to them as possible. This is the job of the CDN. In Cloudflare's case, they sit between your web server and the user and can be that HTTP cache. If your site is popular, you might still have multiple versions of it across regions.
Sure, but that goal in itself is dubious at best. And, PoW is using the maximum possible amount of energy to achieve such a goal.

It's basically like heating your home by adding CPUs in your walls and having them compute the digits of Pi instead of running current through a resistor, because you don't want to have to trust Big Resistor.

The bitcoin network is far more centralized than traditional payment systems, many orders of magnitude slower, and it uses as much electrical energy as entire countries to achieve this.

>The unvaccinated fill up and overwhelm healthcare systems. That disrupts all medical care for everyone. By being vaccinated you are reducing the burden for everybody.

That argument just doesn't hold the water. Most people don't reduce that burden by being vaccinated because they weren't such a burden to start with. For the most people the probability of hospitalization is so low that vaccinating them results in the practically undetectable changes to the total hospitalizations. High-risk groups is a different story. Vaccinating them does change the hospitalizations number.

So far - the available vaccines fail to control the spread, and those vaccines for most people fail to affect hospitalization numbers. So, what is the rationale for the vaccination mandates?

Note - it is the core of democracy that a limitation of personal body rights should be accompanied by a well founded reason of public interest. For the vaccination mandate that would be a scientifically sound conclusion of limit of spread for example or even say meaningful effect on the hospitalizations numbers. So far the vaccination mandate side has failed to provide any such scientifically sound reason. That makes the vaccination mandate to be an unreasonable authoritative action of gross violation of basic personal rights.
I know that even with /80 prefixes on everything we will not run out of IPv6 addresses but why do they provide such large blocks to individual instances, servers etc?

Is there any practical reason? Like easier routing? Just curious.
In 1994, the New York Times published a story with one of its more vivid titles which has stuck in my head ever since: "Porn, the Low-Slung Engine of Progress" [0]. It makes the point that at many key moments of technological development throughout history, porn has driven adoption of new tech. Expensive VCR sales (and perhaps apocryphally, VHS winning over Beta due to Sony shunning porn) was driven by porn availability. Bulletin Board Systems, chat rooms, CD-ROMs, etc. all had pornographic elements, even if it was just stories or text chat.

The referenced article in this thread mentions some of the history of the Lena image, but Wired did a good job finding the actual woman in question and talking about some of the social history. [1]

I was never on the Well, Fidonet, CompuServe, AOL, Prodigy or any other BBS systems, but from this article [2] you can see that low-res text-based block character "images" were possible. The minute you can make something display an image, someone is going to figure out how to put porn on it.

Apparently there was MacPlaymate, a 1-bit image depth interactive program (distributed on 3.5" floppies) from 1986. NSFW [3]

Usenet was definitely part of the early mass sharing of porn online, but as far as I can tell image binaries date (e.g. alt.sex.pictures.erotica.* or alt.sex.binaries.*) more to early 1990s, not 80s. Downloading low-res images over a 14.4 modem in multiple UUencoded text messages based only on a title (or perhaps a frequent, trusted poster) and re-constructing them into a GIF or JPG was very very slow, but where there's a will there's a way - or so I'm told...

I thought that a second variant was essentially an independent stochastic process.
If I have that right that suggests that, had Omicron not occurred Colorado would currently be Corona-free.

I doubt that is true though. Maybe some of the people who now have Omicron would have gotten Delta later on? I don't see how one variant can truly extinguish another variant otherwise. But I am hoping someone here knows better than me.
Only to the extent it allows me to do things. Realistically, that currently means fiat->crypto->fiat, which requires a semi-stable conversion rate (on the order of time to complete the roundtrip), but the transitory nature of the crypto holding seems a nebulous link to floor value.

A stable economy should be the goal of every economy. Otherwise it cannot not be defined as an economy.

My thesis is that BTC failed at exactly that. It's the opposite of stable.

BTC only works advantegous for the HODLers because they actually buy things in another currency, and not in BTC. If they would have to buy electricity, food and shelter and actual physical assets via BTC, they would have to pay millions for it; because BTC is in the state of maximum inflation eversince the HFTs went on it.

I would recommend you read up on the financial crisises that happened all over the world after the second world war, and what the obligations of a central bank (e.g. European central bank) are and why they exist, and what they prevent.

Otherwise this "but it's awesome cause I think I'm rich" discussion is gonna be pretty pointless, because we have really opposing views on what "stability" means in regards to e.g. inflation vs. amount of goods that back up the economy's currency.

The only part of the equation that you don't have available is what BitPay's margin is. Mozilla gave that to you.

Mozilla can't figure out what your transaction cost is, because it is variable. You have much better information on that part of the transaction than they do.

That's awesome! Reminds me of a little virtual tamagochi I programmed in college called Virus.

Virus would only represent itself as a file called for example Toby.virus and it would wander around in folders (only 2 levels deep) and you could give him ascii files with a ".food" extension that includes strings and depending on the size of the file the virus would get full.

If too full it would lave ".puke" files with some of the strings from the food file. And otherwise randomly leave ".poop" files around you'd have to clean up to make virus stay healthy.

You could see its stats in the ".virus" file.

I even implemented mating and light genetic traits that can be passed down

Yes, sort of, but they've always been added on top of a standard text editing interface so tend to be behind context menus (which is OK as they're also often high-level refactorings that aren't used that often). Treefrog's structure-aware edits are lower-level and more deeply integrated into the editing interface - there's a whole mode dedicated to them where the mouse and keyboard behave differently. The aim is to design an intuitive editing interface; the AST itself is just one tool to help with that.
I've never used a mac, but I do envy mac users for some of the productivity-focused tools like Alfred, Bear, Hazel, Keyboard Maestro, and similar.
