> 1. Said friends do not know who each other are.

Security by obscurity is a poor choice.

> The shards they hold can only be used by the recipient via hardware they have physical access to.

Sounds like multiple points of failure right there. From lost/faulty hardware to friends passing away. If your scheme relies on every single one of them having access to working hardware of sorts and being alive and well, that's an elaborate way to setup for failure, but maybe I just completely misunderstood your setup there.

> 3. Wills can take a long time to process and bank accounts can be frozen for months following the death of a spouse.

I don't see how that's a problem given that your scattered group of friends needs to verify your demise and somehow get on a quest to gather the key shards without even knowing of each other's existence (again, I could totally have misinterpreted your scheme here).

This all sounds more like a D&D questline to me than a solid plan to ensure your assets get to the right people after your passing.
I had similar feelings with Rails. Just memorize this billion convention and you are good to go. Also didn't help that running Rails on Windows was (maybe still is) considered a bad idea.
The entire world is not New Jersey- I'm sorry your posh township doesn't have more going on, but my guess is the garbagemen, plumbers, carpenters, etc make similar amounts. Move to Camden, they don't even have a police department anymore so I'm sure you'll love it.
Respectfully, you need to do more research on this.

Look up how ETC (Ethereum Classic) came into being.

Look up a 51% attack.

Look up forks from BTC to BCH and then BSV.

Look up Craig Wright and his claims to be Satoshi Nakamoto.

Again, respectfully, your many comments here make you appear to be someone that just learned about cryptocurrency in the last six months and you have only the simplest of surface understandings of it.

You’re INcorrecting several people that have been at the forefront of cryptocurrency for over a decade.
Well, you can’t trust anyone! :)

Template languages are still languages, and it’s easy for even seasoned developers to make errors that have to be corrected between ‘upload’ and whatever deployment looks like in this scenario. Forget to double-up the closing curly-brackets? Blammo.

I wonder how common it is in practice. Are there existing frameworks or (non-no/low code) CMSes that support that workflow? I.e. letting non-admins modify templates, ‘compiling’ them if necessary, running them over some sample input, and allowing iteration - before potentially breaking things in production?

Limiting the language to avoid having to do a full security audit - that’s a good point.

So you are saying that the business doesn't convert BTC to USD near immediately? Seems like a lot of currency risk here.
You keep making this kind of reply to all of my comments.

I've already enumerated my problems with Apple here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30196852

I would be fine if Apple removed tracking if the DOJ removed their app store.
30% is a bad deal because it was a one-sided affair.

Let's see your reaction when they crank it up to 50%, 70% or even more. Your arguments are going to be exactly the same, right?

> At this point, I think these services must be regulated like utility, i.e. businesses that depend on these must be guaranteed to be treated equally and fairly.

This is exactly the crux of this court case. Apple is abusing its position, it has turned itself into a utility and there is no way to opt out and switch to another utility.
My understanding was that in SEC filings companies have to very direct about things like this. Like in the pre IPO filing a lot of companies will say something like "we've lost money the last 3 quarters and it's entirely possible we'll never make any money." That is a true statement that they have to say but surely they don't expect to never make money. I wonder if this statement is like that.
> There is no such thing as "the node way".

And thank fucking god for that. It turns out there's no such thing as "The one way" - it's a choice for a reason: It has consequences and trade-offs that are applicable to your goals.

If it turns out your goals are a very simple crud app for a team of under 5 - Rails is probably a great choice.

For most everything else, you should probably understand why Rails made the choices they did, and what the trade-offs are. (ex: I would argue that the author is making a HUGE mistake by not just immediately outsourcing auth to something like a self-hosted Keycloak instance, or Okta/Auth0 - but my needs require enterprise auth support (SAML, OIDC, Provider support, etc) and maybe his don't)

But the thing is... there are TONS of simple CRUD app frameworks out there. Rails is a good one, but so is NestJS, or ASP.net Core. There's at least one "Opinionated" CRUD framework for almost every language.

Rails is still good, but I find it has a distinct "ASP.net classic" feel to it now - Too many versions, too much change, too many contradicting "opinions" between major versions.
What is a "CR"? And a "CDK"?
Europe runs from Siberia to Spain, there's lots of variation in winter heating systems. In colder quarters people mostly burn stuff instead of using electricity, but also houses are well insulated (because you need to heat all the time and you can't afford not to insulate).

It means nothing. Companies mention every imaginable contingency in SEC filings to protect themselves from lawsuits in case it actually happens.
Well, it's a cool project overall. Definitely something you can fiddle with. Finding and recommending similar books seems to be a difficult problem. Amazon does a decent job, sometimes, though they tend to push top-sellers, making other titles invisible.

Goodreads does an OK job, some of the time, though most of the books I discover there come from reading my friends' good reviews.

RiffleBooks once looked promising, but they seem to have abandoned their site. It's been down for weeks. Like Goodreads, the main path to discover was following the reviews and recommendation of other readers whose tastes were similar to yours.

TheStoryGraph.com takes a unique approach. Readers tag titles with a handful of attributes, such as mood, pace, length, etc. If you like a book, the site can recommend others that have a similar mood, pace, length, etc. BookBub uses a similar tag-based approach.

If your site starts to pick up subscribers, you may want to consider the tag-based approach. It makes it easy for readers to contribute curatorial knowledge. It may also combine well with Google's recommendations.

That may be more than you want to think about for a hobby project, but I wanted to contribute my two cents.
Yes. Seroconversion symptoms are very common and there is a queer community term for it: "HIV Flu."
Agreed. For something like you describe, check out "Meltdown" by Tom Woods (2009)
Rails does, but Ruby is so close to Python and Python has the numerical crowd so you're eventually going to need it anyway if you're successful.

I know it sucks, because Rails is better than Django, but at the end of the day I love Ruby but my day job is Python. Also, even though I can never remember capitalization, underscores , pluralization, interfaces in Python[0] at least I don't have to think when I type `and` and at least strings aren't mutable by default and when I need the data science it's right there waiting for me.

These companies only know the language of money.

ICC can prosecute environmental destruction as a crime against humanity under Article 7 of the Rome Statute. We just need to have a world class case against these companies for present and future damage against humanity. Make this so financially catastrophic that you will eventually see change.

Methane acceleration of global warming is a palpable damage to the environment and humanity. These leaks are lack of duty of care.
"for the first time"

i mean yeah if you believe their numbers
Yeah. More privacy by getting rid of third-party cookies and having the prompt for apps is a great thing. That it also reduces the revenue of the two monopolists who didn’t even bother to differentiate that revenue (Facebook is 98% ads, Google is at something like 81%) is the cherry on top.
Attackers Target Intuit Users by Threatening to Cancel Tax Accounts
Perhaps I missed it, but the single biggest reason that I moved away from SPAs (such as React) and back to server-side rendering of templates is avoiding having to model my data twice. That’s a lot of overhead.

Granted, I’m in the B2B software space, so end-user expectations are those of accuracy, consistency and performance. I imagine expectations (or perhaps priorities) are different for consumer-facing applications.
You are right, it isn't a tax. It is graft. But the effect is much the same.
It would be fair business if the DOJ removed the app store, but Apple removed APIs that allow tracking.

I would be fully on board with that. 100% pro-consumer, pro-small business.

Apple needs to protect its consumers, but the US government needs to protect businesses against the Apple monopoly.
This was more about buying political favor than giving money to the CDC
Haha, had another look and 100% agree with you.
I read the /r/badeconomics post. I don’t see how this is debunking the idea that repealing Glass-Steagall was a bad thing. No second order effects of that repeal are discussed and so I get the impression that this is a superficial analysis. I have no expertise in economics or in public policy. Is the referenced Reddit post really definitive? Know of any counter arguments?

I’m certainly not claiming that the repeal was the worst thing ever but, as you mentioned, the overall trend of banking deregulation was bad. Rubin went on to earn hundreds of millions at Citibank and the Clintons earned millions giving 30 minute speeches at GS, Citibank and elsewhere on Wall Street. It certainly gives people like me the belief of a quid pro quo for policies enacted during Clinton’s Presidency. This is similar in appearance to Regan earning millions after his Presidency for speeches in Japan (he deregulated Japanese auto sales).
Just to be clear you’re suggesting high/predatory interest rates are the reason that the economy needs stabilization?

If so, my frame of reference for predatory is like 15%, 27%, etc. numbers like that.

Is that what you’re saying? If so can you expand on your thoughts here and link these two elements together better? I generally associate high interest rates with high risk. I’d loan my friend $500 for 0% interest. But some person I’ve never met who is sketchy? That would be a 25% rate with collateral. Ya know?

Are you tying this into the Federal Reserve somehow? Is it interest rates for mortgages that you view as predatory? Small business loans?
Agreed with modding. In the early aughts my dad encouraged me to learn basic but I was more into playing games and I didn’t see the connection to basic which seemed to me to be mostly about printing text.

But at some point, my favorite game involved a scriptable server engine, and nothing brought me joy like updating the game that I had poured hundreds of hours into, with a simple line of text.

After that I went back to mainstream games like WoW and didn’t do anything like programming again until college (minus an attempt at AP computer science which I dropped because it was boring)
Pay above market rates, make sure they are good culture fit with a lot of experience and solid network.
What happens when the reservoir is the family dog or a free-range pet cat? Or maybe domesticated animals are less likely to get sick in the first place?
Why do you think they don't do that? Could it be because they are evil or because not enough people will care enough to pay for the price difference due to clean production efforts?

It comes down the masses demanding it or not demanding it. You say that personal consumption doesn't make a difference then those who believe you go for the cheaper option even if they can afford the cleaner option. You say that personal efforts can't make a difference then they vote for the party that promises tax reductions instead of the one that promises to enforce fixed gas leaks.
Or just being able to do what you want with your money.

I'm pretty sure you can do other things as well as Vote. It's not like voting is so all encompassing that you'd be unable to work/participate in other areas at the same time.
Is the push-back to replace the entire department with contractors or bring on contractors in ancillary roles? If the former, then the simplest one-liner that I can give you is that "you can't outsource your way to prosperity." Never going to happen. I would suggest asking why they wish to relinquish control of their business to a third-party(s) that have no intrinsic motivation in the success of the business? Given that you are in R&D, knowledge/experience is the company's bread and butter and handing that over to contractors is an unnecessary risk.
Machine Learning Gets a Quantum Speedup
It's very unclear to me why Second Life v2 would be of interest to more than a tiny sliver of the population. The last thing I'd want from Facebook is to turn into a more immersive experience.

>Accelerated by the happenings of the last 2 years.

How? A fair number of people prefer to shut off their video on calls. And my observation is that coming out of COVID people want more in-person interactions, not less.
> Things like new ships tend to get bigger and bigger as time passes.

That isn't a law of nature. The shipyards could have chosen not to build a ship too tall to pass under the bridge. We have regulations on the size of semi trucks rather than expect every highway overpass to be dismantled to make way for arbitrarily large cargo, there is no reason this shipyard or the Dutch government should simply put up their hands, rather than make them build a shorter craft, or dismantle the mast, or something.

"Social Chrome" is a base of moving sand, just like Google AMP, it works for a brief while via platform's power but will phase out; web game died out naturally with devices becomes cheaper, and consumers going mobile (and consoles).

Why would it just shrug? Lots of people here looooove FB :( Twatter in europe is much smaller than in US. At least in my country all the cool stuff seem to happen on FB. Telegram is slowly gaining speed though. But it would a lot for the regular non-IT people to move over.

It looks like there's an Apple II core for Mister if you want to recreate the experience. I've never used Mister before, but setting it up could be fun, too, or it might be over most people's heads. https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Apple-II_MiSTer

I also think a slightly different way to go here is an arduino kit. Even as an adult, I got some kind of ardunio kit with a bunch of parts that got me more interested in wiring & coding. I like it because it gives you the code and parts to get things working, but then, you have a bunch of stuff left over to expand on it. If you don't like coding, you can reuse the same code and build out the hardware, and vice versa. That is definitely more work and less play than Number Munchers though. You'll probably have to do some of the stuff with your kids, depending on how curious they are about this stuff. I've seen things that look like simpler arduino kits meant for teaching younger kids similar concepts, but I don't know how good they are.

I think a synthesizer is good, too. A cheap FM synth with a bunch of dials lets you play real songs, exercise your creativity and maybe learn some science skills by mistake like an old computer with a BASIC interpreter. There's probably software solutions geared towards infotainment as well.
>No. Constantly means exactly that - revoked transactions for either party cannot be checked otherwise.

Source? My understanding is unless the channel is cooperatively closed, there's a waiting period (ie. the two weeks) before the transaction is finalized to the blockchain. During that time that transaction can be challenged/overridden.

https://wiki.ion.radar.tech/tech/channels/channel-closing

>I didn't even include the need to be online all the time, since otherwise payments don't work either as multiple interactions are required for each payment.

That seems to be a completely separate issue. Short of receiving random donations, I can't think of any situation where you want to make a payment, but somehow aren't online.

>And of course that 3rd party is totally trustworthy for some reason and offers their service for free?

You're making it sound like it's an issue, but I'm not seeing it. Thousands of hobbyists run bitcoin nodes for free, which costs storage and bandwidth.

>The 3rd parties still need to run scripts that have to work correctly. We all see how well that one works on a regular basis, what with the multi-million dollar thefts that happened recently due to flawed contracts and scripts.

ETH =/= BTC

It's far easier for the community to scrutinize one set of code than for everyone to scrutinize the implementation they rolled themselves.
If you are happy with Arch, keep using Arch. My persnickety criteria shouldn't affect others' distro choice. But Arch's maintainers left simplicity on the table a long time ago, with a few annoying symptoms, notably:

1) Arch changes shit in massive ways resulting in huge flag days. Once every few years may be tolerable, but they tended to happen alarmingly often, requiring me to check the wiki and manually recombobulate the system. Arch's policy is pretty much update every day, and unless you hit a very narrow window to update, or even if you do, check the wiki every day and be prepared to manually recombobulate per our instructions. I'm old and cranky and my daily driver distro shouldn't need that much care. Void is designed how Arch used to be, which means I may not need to recombobulate at all, sometimes with a year or two between updates, and if I do it's much easier to do under Void.

2) Systemd. Frickin' systemd. Void is the first distro to switch from systemd to something else (runit).

The end result is storing 24 english words. You can store them on paper, on a CD, an NFC tag, a stone tablet. Storing words long term is a well understood problem.

Do not trust any or this software to generate those words truly randomly? No problem. Use bip39 diceware to literally generate your words with dice.

When it comes to not trusting software to convert those words to a keypair deterministically, use NASA dual path tactics.

Use two unrelated software suites to convert those words to keypairs and sign a transaction and ensure the final signed payload output from both unrelated toolchains is identical. Bip39 has been implemented in many programming languages.

Now you can form strong confidence in your entire supply chain from key generation entropy to a final transaction with perhaps a couple hours of effort. If you are moving millions in value and worried about supply chain attacks the extra effort may be worth it.

For most a Trezor or a Ledger used as the instructions that come with it advise will be in fine shape.
yeah!!!

it's 18 years too late!!! XP
I had the same issue a few weeks back. My solution was a variation of a SO answer. It was frustrating to not find an official answer.
The "trap" of the snippet is that `cp` is an array of pointers.

What it shows is that Go doesn't have a `value` per iteration, it has a single `value` for the entire loop which it updates for each iteration. This means if you store a pointer to that, you're going to store a pointer to the loop variable which gets updated, and thus at the end of the loop you'll have stored a bunch of pointers to the last item.

This is most commonly an issue when creating a closure inside a loop, as the closure closes over the binding, and since Go has a single binding for the entire loop all the closures will get the same value.
The first 5 or 10 people on that list include ACM Fellows, Godel winners, full professors at Oxford, that type of thing.

I’m a bit of an FP weenie so I’d probably be most starstruck by meeting Wadler, but yeah, heavy, heavy hitters.
There are a lot of errors here. Not least that the price of renewables somehow ignores their lifespan or that there is a price cap in place on the producers of energy that might discourage investors (there isn't).

Given that, its not really worth reading.
