Binance, remember, is the company behind Tether. Binance issues insane amounts of Tether, backed by almost nothing. This only works as long as long as there is a net inflow of USD to Binance. If that ever stops, the bottom will fall out.[1]

If it is indeed faster, my gut is that it wasn't generic, it was "generic" hah. Ie runtime reflection was used instead of true compile-time generics. Runtime reflection has a cost, and is (was!) one the strongest arguments against Go. All powerful "generic" code you'd write in Go heavily relied on reflection over interfaces that caused memory behavior commonly associated with worse performance.

Compile-time generics can often perform similar behavior but with a far better memory layout resulting in better performance.

Purely speculation though about `chan`, i have no clue.

Nah. The sculpture is modeled after Verrocchio's Equestrian Statue of Bartolomeo Colleoni, which depicts a mercenary general renowned for the shrewd, ruthless application of violence. There is no plausible way to argue that Roosevelt's military successes were somehow bolstered by African and Native American people.

(It's interesting to read technical critique of Fraser's sculpture; Verrochio's sculpture is one of the major artistic works of the Renaissance, and exceeds Fraser's Equestrian in apparently a bunch of ways. This is not one of Fraser's best-loved pieces.)

You may not know this, but custom orders slow down service sometimes by an order of magnitude.

I worked at a takeout teriyaki joint in college, and it was as fast a food as you could find. There were 5 menu items, and I could really get in a rhythm dishing rice and chicken and coleslaw. But as soon as anyone asked for something non-standard, then suddenly muscle memory was gone, and I actually had to think about what I was doing. Just asking for no salad could halve my serving speed, especially if they asked for at the wrong time of doing the order.

I can only imagine how much worse this is in a setting with multiple people and multiple handoffs.

On top of that, if the restaurant isn't being run like a short order joint, they're going to have other issues with mixing and matching menu items, like now they may have 2 less dishes they can serve, because, believe it or not, ordering for a restaurant can be a very precise thing, and they'll likely order quantities proportional to the menu ingredients. I'm not saying don't do this, but I am saying be polite when you request these kinds of things, and be willing to accept "we can't do that" as an answer.

Is there really a minimum of 3? It seems to offer a "Just me" option.

That's fair, I'll concede that I make some implicit assumptions. But the magnitude of people who hit problems and accidentally hit UB should give a strong indication that a lot of things done now are not close to sane.
I think it's because people think they stop growing. I was listening to Levitt's People I (Mostly) Admire and on a recent show he was talking about progress. How everyone will say in the last 10 years they've changed but if you ask them what they'll be in the next 10 years they think they'll be the same. But there's a lot of insight we often ignore.

I think similarly people ignore political and cultural progress. It's easy to blame the lack of progress on the old guard. But if we look at history we go much faster than that. One great example of this is the legalization of gay marriage. Pee [0] tracks support of it and it's clear that attitude is changing faster than the old people dying.

Also I think part of the problem is we've all gotten used to the Dragon Tyrant[1] that we accept our fate.

The “hundreds” of engineers who designed a “find my missing item” feature that people clearly want, and made it so that it could be:

* accurate - to a few feet over arbitrary distance

* private - no one other than the owner can track it

* anti-stalker - despite the privacy it’s possible to know when you’re being stalked

AirTags are useful, there was a market of similar, less private, devices before hand. And unlike the existing non-private solutions this one does actually warn people if they’re being stalked.

If you think that’s “engineers not caring about misuse” I don’t know what to say?

To add to Tectonic's amazing comment. There's another reason why this is an extremely important find. The 12C concentration exists in a gradient.

I can't say who this person is, but they're a senior scientist involved with the project. They pointed out something profound based on the history of the crater. water came over the rim of the crater and it slowly evaporated, down to the bottom, until it evaporated completely.

If there was life there, then it followed this water all the way down, before its eventual death (?) due to dehydration. And the signatures match that hypothesis! The most anomalous signatures are the ones from the samples taken at the bottom of the crater.

What's even more exciting is that the other two phenomena that are used as examples would have left a wider distribution. The specific pattern in which the signatures were found are even more suggestive of life, but all other hypotheses need to be eliminated first.

If it is indeed life, this changes everything. I have been in favor of orbitals for space settlement for a long time, and this reinforces my beliefs. We might have to declare Mars to be the solar system's largest natural preserve and outlaw human settlement (other than Mars bases for research into this life).

We will carry our microbiome to Mars, and any large scale settlement will have inevitable leakage of our microbiome to the subsurface layers of Mars, causing the microbes we have to out-compete (and perhaps mingle?) the life that exists on Mars. (if it exists)

At the very least, making a settlement on Mars should be put on hold until we have had a definitive detection and have found the native Martians.

This is one of the most important scientific finds in human history.

If it is generally true that the bulk of the folks working on this space in Linux genuinely believe that Wayland is the "future" and X needs to be deprecated, they really need to put up or shut up. I'm not aware of what's going on behind the scenes, but it's painfully obvious that someone was entirely too confident on this whole deal.

It's just very surprising considering how well Linus' philosophy of "never break things backwards" holds up over time, and that the Wayland people appear to have nearly entirely missed this.

If all this was for is to ensure you live at an address then the local government can offer a number of solutions to that. If they want mail, they can simply mail you a unique qr code which you could then scan and complete the process entirely online. Or at a minimum bring physically to an office.

A utility bill doesn't require proof of residency to get. Neither does a credit card statement. Infact if I were creative I could say I live anywhere and provide false documents of that. It is the legitimate use of this system that is difficult, not illigitimate use.

The system is not designed to be secure or to ensure residency, that's not it's purpose. Its purpose is to create further government control to suppress citizens rights to operate freeley in their own country. Specifically, to target low income individuals. These people creating the policies are not the same people whom are affected by them.

If I am U.S. born I have a right to operate in certain capacities as a citizen. Voting, owning land, and working are all rights unalienable. The fact this is not currently true is proof of the federal fascism we live in.

> I guess that should be referred to as Busybox/Linux according to this?

I don’t know how you could come to that conclusion. The linked page basically says the opposite of that. The Linux project is a project to write a kernel (created to replace the existing MINIX kernel). The Python project is a project to write a programming language (for many operating systems). The GNU project, on the other hand, is to create (and integrate pre-existing parts into) an entire operating system, from the bare metal to the desktop. It’s more like the Debian project in that respect, except that the GNU project themselves write, or asks others to write, a lot of the non-existing components. Debian on the other hand tries to not do much software creation themselves, and has chosen to use the existing parts of the GNU system components combined with the Linux kernel to make a complete and working operating system.
Yea, it’s always a struggle. UI wise it clearly looks better to use flags and people know what it’s for when they see it. There’s always people who complain about it though.

I’m of the opinion to not worry about it and just use the flags. It’s enough effort to properly internationalize a site and keep it maintained. That it’s available at all is a huge effort. Debating flags vs a drop down with languages is nitpicking IMO.

Plus, when the language codes include a country it’s a natural UI decision.

EDIT: Supporting multiple languages increases the complexity of the entire development pipeline. Translation teams are brought in, translation tools are brought in to support in-code language as well as translations in the database itself. Every new text snippet needs to be translated to each language to deploy it.

Your search features get more complicated, date formats, number formats, currency, collations. Every language you add increases this complexity. Because of that, you will represent a language with a primary country and not every language spoken in that country. On the chance that a company has opted to go all in to support region specific dialects of languages where 100+ choices will be listed, then no…of course flags wouldn’t work. But in most cases you’re lucky to get 2 languages at all with potential for a couple more for all but the largest of companies. Virtually every other site is just going to use one and churn out some Google translations or ask you to do that yourself.

After considering all that, yes…just use flags.
not sure i understand -- are you saying a 4-day work week effort should really be called something like "more free time work week" effort? if so, i might agree, except that i think using simple to understand language and concepts is really important - especially in modern-day america/world (short attention spans).

i imagine, if we had a, or the, just-type world i'd like to see, we'd have enough work for about 1 day of work per week, maybe more, maybe less.

i think, if you look at the history of work and, for example, the weekend, the reasoning before a 4-day work week starts to make more sense. that would be part of our efforts -- educating folks on things like, what is the weekend? how did it start? why is it only two days and not three days, or six days? etc.

Boy your progress sounds super similar to mine. Though with swapped order on JS and Go. Mine was primarily Python->JS->Go->Rust. I've been a Rust fanatic for maybe ~2 years now.

It was a natural progression for me, and i quite enjoyed it. I also love Rust, the stdlib (and supporting crates) gave me a UX quite similar to Go's batteries-included stdlib.

2 trillion dollar company hardly relevant
I don't think it's dramatic. There are a couple points to consider:

First, yes, what they've been offering us has value, however, regular Google accounts are free. So asking us to pay $72 per year per user over the standard $0 just for a vanity domain is a little steep. Especially when many of these installs aren't businesses, they're just family domains.

Worse, the bait and switch here is unreasonable. There's no documentation or tooling for migrating from the legacy accounts to vanilla Google accounts. Suppose I don't want to pay $864/year for my family domain. What am I supposed to do with the gigabytes of emails, google docs, photos, app purchases, etc?

Is the choice here really either A) pay up, or B) all your shit goes in the digital dumpster? That's a rotten fucking way to treat somebody that's been advising people to use Google services for over a decade...

On the choice of DNS forwarder: Unbound is very configurable and reliable, however, I went down this rabbit hole recently and decided I wanted a DNS "shotgunner" as latency to a single upstream source had a wide distribution.

Simply, you issue multiple DNS requests and take the fastest one. I use 9 different DNS servers over TLS. This is a bit excessive, two is enough most of the time.

I'm tempted to write my own DNS forwarder but this project is working well for me: https://github.com/mikispag/dns-over-tls-forwarder

It’s also that there are different standards of requirements across the thousands of different government entities that care about residency. And there’s not much chance they’d agree.

My municipal tax authority and the US State department may have very different standards for validating “residency” and very different reasons for doing so.

> Why enjoy whole home climate control

Because it is more expensive and more energy intensive than a direct application of heat to the occupant's skin?

Some people care about their resource usage, or how much money they spend on climate control. You also have situations where multiple people live in the same climate control zone, and have different preferences for temperature. If I like it at 67 and my wife likes it at 74, and we're both uncomfortable at 70, how can whole home climate control solve this issue?

That's an interesting explanation and somehow I never heard it explained that way before. It makes sense if one thinks of the transistor count doubling relative to where that company previously was, and not where the industry is.
