When it comes to proximity research institutions, the choice of location is strange to me. Somewhere in the northern Indiana/Illinois/Michigan (i.e. "Greater Michiana") would have made a lot more sense. That way, you would be close to,

UIUC, Northwestern, UChicago, UMichigan, Purdue, Notre Dame, UIndiana, Argonne National Lab, etc.
Most important software is done already.
A point that I always find interesting to remember is that although we've proven there's no measurable benefit to crystal therapy, there's no discounting the people it's helped.

We think that's probably placebo (seems like a reasonable assumption at least) but the people it's helped are going to be devout believers. Experience is a powerful motivator

I don’t know if the internet was designed to route around five years of civil war.

Even if you are fully federated, you run into the problem of being unable to protect and therefore repair certain parts of the network til the point where it degrades enough that one air strike takes out the whole thing.

Sounds similar to my college professors tut-tutting writing behaviours like run-on sentences when every journal article and book in our syllabus had writers doing exactly that.

Yes it is, the mail you linked at was about a new standalone X server (ie. not XWayland) release by its new maintainer.

> no security fixes

The very previous version released just last month[0] has security fixes.

> or new features are being developed

Two versions before that[1] added a bunch of new features.

> On Earth, life preferentially uses 12C over the heavier 13C, bioaccumulating it, so we observe significantly more 12C than 13C in ancient rocks where life grew.

If (like me) you're wondering why life prefers to use carbon-12 over carbon-13, it appears to be because carbon-12 is simple lighter and thus more likely to diffuse into an organism:

From [1]: Due to differential uptake in plants as well as marine carbonates of 13C, it is possible to use these isotopic signatures in earth science. Biological processes preferentially take up the lower mass isotope through kinetic fractionation.

NOAA has a bit more detail on the diffusion of carbon isotopes into organism [2].

I had to do this! It was a 3-4 page document and I thought printing and scanning was stupid, but did it anyway. Naturally I only printed and scanned the last page with the signature on it. They rejected it saying I had to print and scan the entire document!

I would be very tempted to use something like this next time, however I have a feeling that the same people who think this is sane would accuse you of fraud if they ever found out. Not sure if it's worth it.
Danish government makes its new economic model open source
It's not even just lower class workers. Taking public transit to my FAANG job each day would be ~$20 total and be ~2hrs of commuting each day. That comes out to ~5k/year in commuting costs and about 65 workdays in hours wasted on trains and subways.

I can eat this cost but I'd feel extremely bad for someone who doesn't get paid as much as I do who had to do this kind of commuting (which MANY people do daily).
All Foot Locker has to do is start selling exclusive NFTs with their shoes, and they'll be considered an innovative blockchain company in no time.
I edited the comment because it sounded more offensive than sarcasm.

But your comment makes non equivalent comparisons. All of America is a European colony. Wiping out native Americans and their lifestyle. On a massive scale. This has never happened before.
> Whether there’s much value to be extracted remains to be seen. [...] just some NFTs listing this month have received bids — and several of them were well below the seller’s minimum list price.

> One developer, Ernest Oppetit, had created a tool that suggests who to unfollow on Twitter. In one commit, he’d added a verifying GitNFT shield icon. He’s now sold that commit as a GitNFT. The winning offer was .002 Ethereum — or about $7.96 in U.S. currency.

Can we officially declare the NFT hype over? Or is there some reason why the general public will buy into a blockchain they don't understand, but won't pay for software commits they don't understand?
JS isn't just popular because of the browser.

It has a TON of syntactit niceties today. Most of the warts are no longer relevant (here's to a future "use strict 2" mode that eliminates the really bad type coercion bits).

It hits a very pragmatic center where you can do OOP, but top-level functions are also possible (looking at you Java).

JS also has good functions. Closures that don't require spelling everything out, first-class functions that can be passed around to other functions, anonymous functions, etc. Outside of currying, it has almost everything you'd want functions to have. That's something sorely missing in languages like Python (lambdas), Ruby (proc/lambda/block mess), PHP (no implicit closures), Java (no first-class functions), etc.

I wrote the parent comment and mostly agree with you about personal choice @sneak, except 'Taking drugs doesn't affect anyone else'. Whether alcohol, weed, opiates or whatever substance abuse is hugely costly and damaging in modern society to those who don't have this disease. There is a strong argument for pre existing substance dependency condition in people but the toll on those around them is huge.

You are smudging cancer and substance abuse together but in many cases complete abstinence in an individual due to awareness of a pre existing familial susceptibility can help that person to never become addicted because they are aware of the danger and biological weakness in themselves. 12 step programs etc can help people abstain if they become addicted although it is a huge and heroic struggle back to the surface.

Sadly this is not the case with cancer.
I'll ask the same questions I had over on lobsters since I didn't get satisfactory answers there:

* 64bit - Can I run a database that addresses more than 4 gig of memory (eg: keep all my indices in memory so perf doesn't fall off a cliff)? I think the answer is no. This effectively rules out most 'enterprise' software and most things involving 'big data' (eg: all ai/ml projects), not to mention I haven't deployed 32bit to prod in something like 10 years.

* threads - shared array buffers && web workers aren't threads - this isn't the biggest deal in the world since all interpreted languages are effectively single process/single thread but there is quite a lot of software that would like real threads.

* security - You can overwrite constants in what traditionally would be read-only. You can overwrite portions of the stack. You can overwrite the heap. You can overwrite function pointers. You can overwrite and redirect indirect calls. Taking an existing linux binary and converting it to wasm severely downgrades the security of it.

* real sockets/TLS - https://github.com/WebAssembly/WASI/pull/312 && https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/issues/71 ? yes, I understand some people have shimmed in various layers here but most applications would currently require modification to use said shims - what's the best of breed to not require application mods?
Sometimes having someone do useless work for you is better than having them do useful work for a competitors.
I much prefer the tool Prettier. Any aesthetic styling of code should be unconfigurable so that teams using the tool don't waste time arguing about using tabs or spaces.

Prettier does a fantastic job of this for many languages. RuboCop is of course still useful for catching things that impact logic/functionality/performance (e.g. the issue presented in the article), but it's not a great choice for enforcing code formatting since it is far too configurable.

It's great that the messaging works over bluetooth and local wifi, but I really wish the phone app would be able to cache and relay encrypted messages to others.

The site where they are building is half an hour away from an international airport, Columbus is a shipping hub, and it's tied in well with the interstate highway system. With all due respect to the Port of Cleveland, which is mostly focused on raw materials and heavy machinery as far as I can tell, that stuff is probably more of a factor.

That article is about telephony, not broadband internet. We have telephony everywhere too.
Right, it claimed you didn’t need background knowledge, but then on that problem you’d need to know the South American countries. They probably should have given you a list of them as an aid there.

(I think the answers were Argentina and Paraguay but didn’t see where to check.)

Edit: also, maybe this thing is my true calling? I solved a problem like this on my first day of Kindergarten. The teacher wrote something on the board in cursive, in the expectation that the kids would be able to read it. (Parents were polled beforehand to verify none of the kids “knew cursive”.) But since I recognized enough of the letters, and had a “side channel” in terms of what things make sense to say, I could translate it, frustrating the lesson.

Based on the letters I knew, the message looked like this (dashes indicate unknown, pipes are spaces):

W - - c o m - | t o | K - - - - - (lots more)

I first figured that the first word must be “welcome”, and then, given a) the “welcome to” plus giant K word, and given b) that the word “kindergarten” was on my mind so strongly that day, and c) it made sense as the next word, I correctly guessed the solution.

I assumed this skill only had application in crypto and maybe reverse engineering, but hey, I’d it’s what linguists do too, maybe I should consider that!
There should seriously be a tipping customer strike. Worse is better, then everyone will have to leave these shitty jobs.
There are plenty of Americans who are okay with 60-80 hours of even repetitive manual labor. I know a few who work for shipping companies.

What Americans don't want are jobs that pay less and don't offer 1.5x overtime. Unlike shipping, foxconn jobs can be done in a place with a cheaper cost of living. America isn't competitive in low margin businesses because poor people need to pay rent which is just higher in the US.
1. You are comparing interactive game servers to streaming service? Sure there are free CDN you can use, but are there free servers alternative you can use on the market regardless of scale and traffic? The pricing of these two services has fundamental difference on the market. If you know one of such service, name it. I would be glad to use it.

2. You are comparing Steam, Play Store, App store to Roblox? Are they providing free servers for multi-player experience? Does Steam let you host free servers? Sure they provide a way to download the app, but none of them provides free servers along with free network traffic. What makes you think they should be priced the same way when the services they provide are fundamentally different?

3. What makes you think $100 is reasonable, while $1000 is not reasonable? Every business has their own way for monetization. If you want to claim $100 is reasonable and should be the industry standard, what is your argument to support it? If Youtube is so kind, why don't they just not have any minimum take out amount in the first place, like most e-commerce companies do? Your questions are baseless in the first place by assuming there is certain non-existent rules that need to be followed. You can dislike it, but claiming $1000 limit it set to abuse child labor is completely un-based.

Android 12 had the most bizarre UI changes. They made everything so big and spaced-out, it induced scrolling everywhere. Most infuriatingly, the default pull-down menu (with wifi, flashlight, airplane mode, etc.) became tall enough to crowd out the music player controls and induce scrolling. Who wants to scroll on such a constantly accessed part of the UI? And all in service of spacing out the button text by an absurd 10mm.

I can't imagine any justification for this other than some blind adherence to a design ideology over user testing.

It's straight out of a cyberpunk dystopia. (Tessier-Ashpool comes to mind)
There are federal IDs in the US, of several varieties. But people are not required to have one.

People mainly rely on their state drivers licenses because states regulate driving. (And most other day-to-day government interactions that require ID)

A game developer [1] once said that Linux "accounted for <0.1% of sales but >20% of auto reported crashes and support tickets." Unfortunately, this is the reality of Linux. It's very hard to support due to its fragmentation. It requires so much effort to work in a fast-changing environment that a few users even use. To make Linux easier to support, we need to make it as easy to develop as Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. We need a unified Linux platform with a friendlier developer experience. Something similar to Android (which has Linux kernel inside it).

That's not what the other comment was complaining about. If it were GitHub.io that would be fine.

They are saying that GitHub has had a long interest in people thinking that Git is something you only do with GitHub, reducing people from thinking about using Git without GitHub. Of course, to be clear, Git is a 100% independent project that existed before GitHub and GitHub has ZERO claim to anything about Git, it just uses it.
I can't find it now, but I remember there was a video of someone upgrading windows from like Windows 3 all the way to the latest Windows... maybe it was 7? I forget how long ago this was. But each time they upgraded Windows, they showed that the programs installed in the original OS still worked. I think they did it with Doom installed in 3, and showed that it still worked after 20 years of upgrades. That's some impressive backwards compatibility.

Does anyone know the video I'm thinking of? I'd love to watch it again.
Do you mean people running the infrastructure? Or developing the software? We don't have to speculate on either. The infrastructure / nodes are paid for by some combination of inflation (block rewards) and transaction fees, depending on the network. The software is pretty similar to any other open source software. There are open source devs who will contribute for free, companies who will give grants for features they have a vested interest in (or will pay their own engineers to develop them directly), and organizations with funding to pay engineers.

Again, we don't have to speculate. We don't even know who the founder of Bitcoin is and it's still under active development.

And those effects may (or may not) persist for some time after the intoxication fades. More research required. Amazing.

Trying to fix aging for existing humans is like trying to patch a binary that's already running, it would be way easier to build new humans with better source code imo.
Something is weird here. The chart says the Core i3-1220P has 2 P cores and 8 E cores but then the article says "Bringing up the rear is the Core i3-1220P, which offers only two efficiency cores and eight performance cores." I'm not sure which one is correct.
This is a sad day for me. The obscurity of git.io, along with its nested obscurity of the ability to create vanity links, let me grab https://git.io/8. It looks like that'll go away one day, I wonder what will become of the domain itself; it's certainly a six figure property.

I suspect the recent Elizabeth Holmes conviction of investor fraud at Theranos might contribute to the idea of flashy names propping up an unsustainable idea (e.g. with so many high-ranking names in the US military establishment previously supporting the company).

While they're not regulated like a bank, nor should they be, since they're not a bank... They are regulated, such as by FinCEN [0] which imposes AML and KYC measures on all fintech (including crypto) companies operating within the United states. Additionally, since crypto is classified as securities in the U.S., I believe they are regulated by the SEC as well.
