Check IoT companies as well - they often have web, firmware, hardware. I think it is also easier to move at a startup company, where it is usual to wear a few hats, and all the teams may still sit in the same room.

"Fauda" from Israel is a good show. 3 seasons so far. Some of the writing is questionable, but it's good overall.

Rorshach is definetly crazy- while Watchmen is a serious book on its face- there's a bit of mad magazine style sillyness where Rorshack will torture everyone in a bar- inflicting pain and suffering- then whine he's "depressed" while oblivious to the people he hurt.

He also considers a crank tabloid the only legitimate source of news.

Moore grew up on mad magazine and there's a bit of parody in Rorshack even though other scenes are played more seriously.
When I visited, I learned that one of the islands is powered by bunker fuel (what ships use, and perhaps the dirtiest widely-used hydrocarbon-based fuels).
I worked at a company that had our team in a monthlong rolling crisis born of bad management.

They wanted updates for the director who didn’t even understand the technical issues at least twice daily. Frequently, it was done over a teams channel so it was a rolling half hour text conversation/distraction trying to explain technical issues to someone who was bad at listening. By the end of it I was ready to sabotage the project just to end it.
I think mathematicians will usually be aware of many ways of defining something. Because different definitions will suggest different approaches to a problem, and suggest different ways to generalize a concept.

Yours is an important one.
It did not. The OLPC project wanted this feature, but it proved impractical to implement.
You can have a dirty wallet from crypto that you've gotten illegally. If you are a merchant on a darknet market your wallet is dirty. If you wrote malware and got someone to pay you a ransom you have a dirty wallet. There are basically an infinite number of ways to have a crypto address with significant holdings that the government has "frozen" so that it can't be converted to fiat. Of course there are other strategies for laundering crypto, this one has the added benefit of actually making money instead of losing it.
The government could provide everyone with a small apartment, free food and free public transport. Then do away with UBI and other direct financial benefits. The government can better organise these things and not worry that some money will just go to drug dealers or other vices.
The only information you get is all green checkboxes. We've all been there before!

Can you recommend any documentation on doing transactional DDL in production?

I would expect major caveats in such a feature, like long lived table locks taking down the whole application for an hour when you don't exactly know what you're doing. For example concurrent index creation is harmless on its own, but combined with another fast but locking schema change, you could get a long lived lock, taking down the application until the index creation finishes (had a similar incident in a different database).
> Am I missing something, you are low-key justifying Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Yes, you are missing something.

> Kremlin always was messing with Ukrainian democracy in the first place.

That is simply not true. Messing with Ukrainian democracy has started on April 3, 2008, after the Bucharest Summit, with the NATO's Declaration that it welcomes Ukraine's and Georgia's Europe Atlantic aspirations for membership in NATO. That was a direct threat to Russia and they made it perfectly clear, same as the Monroe's Doctrine makes it perfectly clear that nobody, not a single country, is allowed to move military forces to the western hemisphere (say in Cuba), because it becomes a threat to the US. The decision at the Bucharest Summit led to a war in Georgia and Maidan in Ukraine. Prior to that, there was zero threat from Russia whatsoever.

Since the west keeps pushing on the NATO's expansion (which is part of their strategy, along with promoting democracy and expanding the EU), Putin gives the US two choices: either Ukraine goes back to a pre-2014 state of being a neutral player OR Russia will wreck the country. So the root cause is not Putin being out of his mind, but the aggressive US's strategy to expand NATO. Once again, despite me being a Ukrainian, Putin's strategy is perfectly clear to me.
True, a huge volume with low density will contain more mass than a small volume with large density. But we can say that it gets “concentrated” far from the origin only in the same sense that Japan’s population is “concentrated” outside of Tokio…

Yes, arrays are another distinction:

- an array [3]u8

- a single item non-nullable pointer *u8

- a single item nullable pointer ?*u8

- a multi-item non-nullable pointer [*]u8

- a multi-item nullable pointer ?[*]u8

- a slice []u8

Typically your API is just made up of slices and non-nullable single item pointers. Arrays are just the typical backing store for a slice, that you might define in main or for small scratch buffers. Here's a typical example of an OS read (where the fd has been set to non-blocking already):

fn readUpTo32Bytes(fd: std.os.fd_t) ![]u8 {
var array: [32]u8 = undefined;
var data = array[0..]; // slice of entire array
data.len = std.os.read(fd, data) catch |err| switch (err) {
error.WouldBlock => 0,
else => return err,
};
handle(data);
}

fn handle(data: []const u8) void { ... }

If you don't need to handle EAGAIN/error.WouldBlock, then just do `data.len = try std.os.read(fd, data);`

I didn't explain the `!` in the `![]u8` return type, but it's basically saying "an error or a []u8", where it's compile time known what the full set of errors is (in this case every error std.os.read can return, minus WouldBlock).
Micro is just about is good, with a CUA interface, though is lacking the menu and dialogs.

Also, freedos has a similar editor that has a few new features.
Strike the "close to", would be my guess.

> lack of ability to use cryptocurrency

You can transact at any store that accepts credit cards with a crypto credit card.

There are countless uses for blockchains now from DeFi, gaming, social networks, NFTs, entertainment streaming, DAO’s and decentralized governance, and on and on the list goes.

I recommend you catch up to 2022 crypto if you don’t already know that.
Yeah to be honest, C was never our favorite pick to begin with. We initially wrote YJIT in C99 because that was what the rest of the CRuby codebase was written in. However, JIT compilers are very complex pieces of software. They need to do things like symbolic transformations on graphs, and deal with multiple different kinds of intermediate representations. Doing that in C, you get really bogged down with the details of manual memory management and rolling your own data structures. You can get all kinds of subtle bugs if you aren't careful.

Spanish: Cathedral of the Sea is interesting, and I loved Ministry of Time - although this one vanished from all online streamings :/

Swedish: The Restaurant is available on Sundance/Star or some other channels. Like Downton Abbey. Just watched a couple episodes, but it was nice

French: Lupin and Les Revenants (The Returned) - although I think the second is not on Netflix now, but somewhere else. Watched it many years ago

Belgium: not fantastic, but Thieves of the Wood is just one season long and enjoyable.

Italian: I liked Curon, although it didn't seem to please too many people, I think?

On my list: Trapped, which is Icelandic.

You're right, actually, that's legitimate. Sometimes it can be worth it. I did a similar move earlier in my career.

But it's another layer of tactical thinking - what are you getting in exchange for that money? So for the OP, I'd encourage them to figure out if they're making market rate or not before they make that judgment.
People are perhaps nervous about exactly where the line is between what Alan Moore writes about in for example "Lost Girls" and what Alan Moore might really believe about adolescent girls and sex.

Similar to how people were nervous about Luc Besson who made the film Léon about the relationship between an underage girl and a middle aged hitman, not so long after marrying his very pregnant 16 year old girlfriend. Besson has in more recent years been accused of rape by several young women.
Told to shut up by whom?
So why not provide free food and homes? No need for money if it is just intended for these purposes.

UBI would be a subsidy to landlords and supermarkets; who would cream off a profit.
> Have you moved internally to another team and felt reinvigorated?

Yup! better more interesting work really helped.

> Has anyone moved to lower level programming to face a different challenge (e.g. embedded, game engines, etc.)?

I haven't moved this low, but a good friend did. The procedure was:

1. Learn low level skills

2. Join a company with a low level team on an adjacent high level team (a slower approach would be to join any team then transfer to this adjacent team).

3. Befriend people on the low level team, fix a few small tickets for them unasked, pitch them on letting him join

He's working on a microkernel now.
1. FPS limit needs to be an integer multiple of the display refresh rate, or you introduce stuttering. That’s why missing a vsync results in exactly 30fps on a 60hz monitor, and that isn’t a good user experience.

Using Vsync is actually conservative power wise. You can always smash the gpu by rendering frames as fast as possible. This a one way of reducing input latency in FPS shooters, using vsync guarantees one frame of latency on a fast GPU.

2. Agreed 100%. All too frequently the UI is too small on high dpi monitors (see CIV6), or unreadable when viewed from a distance when playing on a TV (see Witcher 3)
I'm pretty sure someone else wrote the headline. That thesis never comes through in the actual article.
The FDA scientific advisory committee rejected Biogen's claims in a unanimous vote. (Note that Biogen actually claimed in its application that aduhelm ameliorates Alzheimer's). The history of the aduhelm approval process just has a stench about it; you can see earlier posts by this author on the topic (linked to in the original article) to see some of that come out.

> Have there been any studies that show that plaque-reducing drugs don't ameliorate Alzheimer's?

There are, I believe, about a dozen drugs that tried to reduce plaques that have all failed to ameliorate Alzheimer's. And several of them despite actually demonstrating reduction of plaques.
> But Ben, US equities have intrinsic value unlike this BTC garbage! Well unless they pay no dividend, have dual-class share structure, and IPO without a profitable quarter.

Should the company's assets be liquidated, shareholders are entitled to that value after creditors.

You're confusing "action" with "outcome". Yes, OLPC generated a lot of buzz, and created a cryptocurrency-like hype machine. Yes, OLPC was probably very friendly to you when you were working right alongside them in MIT Media Lab. But what did they actually achieve?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Laptop_per_Child#Criticism indicates not much at all. The project was a beautiful boondoggle; their users didn't enjoy the product but the rich folk who donated could pat themselves on the back for looking like they cared. Even Bill Gates had the sense to walk away 5 years before OLPC even started: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2000/nov/05/billgates...

Let's also not forget that the founder of OLPC, and the chairman of MIT Media Lab, has gone on record praising a convicted, child sex trafficker:

Indeed.

The argument is further weakened by the inclusion of medical residents among the disqualified signatories. Having once been a medical resident many years ago, I can assure the author that a) medical residents are medical doctors and b) the do actually practice medicine and c) they are allowed to have an opinion about whether Mr. Rogan's opinions on issues touching on the medical sciences are evidence-based or not.
Yes, I am using a different definition of hero. It comes straight out of Campbell, who surveyed a huge corpus of world literature to come to it.

My view of hero is the more interesting one. One that helps us make sense of our lives and to live better. But it’s not just different, it still does everything that the people who use the dopey definition need it to do.

Why even bother to analyze or discuss the human experience if we are just going to reduce it to flat cartoon psychology? That’s why I advocate for a better definition of hero. It allows me to heroically (in all senses of the word) navigate my social world.
This is really interesting. Copying to the scratch container is powerful and I’ve used it a lot, regularly, but occasionally something comes up where I need to use a more fully featured base to support things. One other downside I’ve encountered with Scratch is no shell so doing docker exec or kubectl exec doesn’t work. Does anyone know a good solution to this problem?

We started from your question “What properties does it have that make it superior to currencies like $BTC in your opinion?”.

Then you changed subject about being bullish when replying. So you must either decide: are we talking about currencies or about speculative assets?

There are no reasons to be bullish about currencies, that’s not their purpose.
I still have two of the original OLPC laptops (green/white). I probably should have donated them years ago (to complement the other two that were automatically donated with my purchase). I gave them to my kids, but they were too young to appreciate them, and eventually I got them regular PC desktops. So they are basically unused, but probably need new batteries by now.

Anybody interested?

I think we can ascribe an inherent value - as opposed to market price. When the inherent value is clearly and indisputably zero, but punters are handing over real cash, then you have a fraudulent scheme.
I read the book last year.

While it is definitely a critique -- and while Ames provides a debatable framing of her overall thesis -- the accounting of the actual, on-the-ground uses of OLPC laptops is invaluable. Assessment is not the same thing as inaction. It is worth understanding what happened and attempt to frame why it happened. In fact, one could argue that the "action takers" in computing today might do well to familiarize themselves with a bit more scholarship in the first place.
If you read the article, it mentions an uptick of thousands of people converting. Stories generally are told about individuals as a way to relate to larger movements.
> I don't see how this is more morally repugnant than casinos which are legally accessible in most of the US.

Gambling is heavily regulated in most of the US. It can be morally repugnant because retail investors are being swindled into making terrible "investments". Retail investors really shouldn't be exposed to that kind of manipulation and risk.

You can argue that they're stupid and deserve it, but some of these people have kids to feed and house, and when their house of cards comes falling down, innocent people will suffer.
