That’s basically how I use. Just as a replacement for Ventrilo or Mumble for voice chat while playing video games. It’s rather good for this use case. I think there’s maybe 10 people on our server, and I’m pretty happy with the UX.
The question is if crypto and the specific distributedness that NFTs enable add anything to that.

So you also have no idea if there's any worth to this in practice? We seem to be in violent agreement ;)
Yeah. It’s simulating the behavior of a CRUD server I’m thinking about writing. I wouldn’t be able to batch writes very easily there, so it would be a transaction per write.
I was. The whole logical schema here is vanity - or, more literally from the Hebrew - a pursuit after wind, a momentary breath, a flicker of wind on the cheek...

The author's experience is that "same structure, new shapes" is the quality of the urban life. But that is also the quality of rural life, although the specific details differ; this is simply another shape in the same structure of life. Whether you're in the city, or the suburbs, or the emptiness of the mountain, you are who you are, people are who they are, there's no innate difference in the matter. The environment is strictly the environment.

This, too, is vanity.

To further quote the unnamed author -

> Only this, I have found, is a real good: that one should eat and drink and get pleasure with all the gains he makes under the sun, during the numbered days of life that God has given him; for that is his portion.

To be able to dwell in contentment where one is, is a real blessing.
I’ve wondered a lot about that as well and I think this is not only the product of picking unripe fruits so that they can be harvested sooner and not go bad in transit, but also because of the hybridization of crops.

There are companies working very hard at developing new variants of fruits and vegetables that grow faster, are less susceptible to pests, don’t get damaged as much in transit, look like what consumers expect them to look like (no matter what the reality is), and smell good. Unfortunately, taste is never there. For instance have you ever noticed how hard tomatoes skin is at the supermarket vs the ones you grow yourself or even the “heirloom” variety? Tougher skin is not very pleasant but they survive shipping better.

This is my hypothesis why fruits and vegs used to taste so much better. It’s gotten worse over time with each generation of hybrids.
Are you talking about the actual inflation that just happened when we tried our mini-UBI experiment like several months ago? Those inflation fears?

It does appear to be the latter. I just searched for several famous ML papers (attention is all you need, lottery ticket hypothesis, capsules, etc) and they are not there. I think if someone counted all papers that have been ever published anywhere, the picture would be a lot different.
I can't begin to imagine the horror.

I feel so fortunate to be alive in this time.
Crypto is not useful for anything much but the future is complicated
From what they describe it’s not “required” by Amazon — sounds like they don’t want that sort of automated/database-oriented content at all.

What you are reacting to is a way to trick Amazons bots and the underpaid bored agents looking over affiliate sites.
There is no clear winner here yet. Every solution has pros and cons.

1) Need mostly cross platform desktop and using hardware extensively (bluetooth, camera, audio, nfc, sensors, etc.) -> Qt

2) Have web expertise or need easily to find well paid job and need mostly web, android, ios app -> React Native

3) Need only iOS, Android app that is mostly custom UI with some smooth animation mostly for some side project (not many jobs in the market comparing to React Native or iOS/Android Native) -> Flutter
And it has NFTs!
Regular Schengen visa is good for 90 days, allows visa-free travel throughout the EU. How to get that depends on your nationality (what country your passport is from). Some nationalities can just arrive and get a visa, others have to apply in advance. You generally apply to the country you plan to spend the most time in, or will initially arrive in.

If you want to stay longer you have to research countries that offer long-stay visas. Requirements vary and will depend on your nationality and income.

Generally you’re not allowed to work in a foreign country unless you have a work permit or visa that allows work. As a practical matter if you’re working remotely on a laptop you probably won’t run into problems, just don’t tell anyone you’re working. When you arrive in a foreign country and immigration asks the purpose of your visit you say “tourism” unless you have a visa for business, work, or some other purpose.

I really think that intelligence augmentation (maybe with GitHub Copilot as a notable exception) is an undersold aspect of recent advances in generative AI. Am I wrong in thinking that IA (as opposed to autonomous AI) has huge potential today to change the way we interact with and create things?
What are sparse files and how to tell if a file is stored sparsely
I prefer heavy duty felt pots which have the advantage of "air pruning" the roots. Once you've seen the root system those develop you won't go back to anything plastic. Instead of just curling around the bottom of the container in search of the air holes at the bottom, the roots grow just to the pot walls and stop, because they get plenty of oxygen transferred through the felt so they don't continue on searching for it becoming root-bound - in all directions. One solid massive root ball. One brand name is "smart pots." They're reusable as well.

how about the dentist office, playing a traditional over-the-air radio station featuring your favorite Sting song and an ad for car audio system, instead of an ad-free streaming service.

Called out my dentist on this and he listened.
I can agree with that, but I'd say insisting on "corporate/non-corporate" is sort of a red herring. People use "corporation" as shorthand -- and maybe you're right that it's misleading shorthand -- to talk about scale.
What you wrote is my takeaway from the article as well. There's an expression "if you can't do, teach!" which can be interpreted in different ways, but I would say it means you get much better at something when you are forced to write, re-read/interpret and explain it.
I've been working on a simple bot for one of the servers/guilds I'm on, and the API endpoints as well as documentation still heavily uses the term guild.
The SEC should start suing and penalizing airlines for the scam that airmiles is, before even getting started with crypto.
i asked this question here and at many places before. why do people "rely" on an organization that sifts through hundreds of thousands of papers and then charge exorbitant prices for providing this service?
if we use the amazon analogy, is amazon with millions of products worse than a boutique cat food seller that specializes in a specific cat food for a specific cat breed? maybe. but what about the "rest" of products?

why are our scientists made to rely on elsevier et al to sift through the junk and find for them the perfect paper instead of doing it themselves? is science now such a cutthroat quick competition that it requires you to give a company the priviledge to work for you so that you dont have to do your own due diligence?

in india, we have a lot of local research that is done on open databases like shodh ganga and many more. but if you have to access foreign research material, better luck your university has an agreement with elsevier and others to pay them millions for a login. the alternative, go to scihub and find what you need.

i understand the whole quality/delivery debate but doesnt the average user already know who the big players in the specific domain are and who are trusted? or you want discoverability at the hands of a "trusted third party" without doing the legwork yourself.

then at the other end you have non-academics like me. I might have heard of a research paper in some article and i cannot read it without paying an arm and a leg. why? if we use the whole ebook/book argument that compensation is commensurate to the sales so more popular book means more money to the author but here authors arent compensated but elsevier so why should i pay elsevier? because they filtered through 1000 papers to provide 10 and for that privilege, they require unlimited royalty for ever? why?
Bad dependencies?
Now, you know why recipes all have that bullshit "story" above the actual recipe.

Affiliate programs act like "human interest stories" are the only way to make people intrigued or some such horse shit some MBA probably came up with and we all now have to suffer.

What in the world... that's certainly interesting.
In the GP comment from @teraflop:

> As the article says at the beginning, this is intended for per-CPU data structures, not shared ones.
> It makes me think that users believe finding the answer is our problem, not theirs. Their job is just to ask the question and expect a response. Frustrating.

If you're selling a product, and you think that finding an answer is the user's problem, not yours, you will soon not be selling a product.

If, however, you're talking about an open-source project, then I think you're baselessly assuming that users "expect" an answer. Users will ask for answers in the most convenient way (asking on discord) in hopes of getting a quick answer. This does NOT mean that they will not fall back to googling if that avenue fails.
I made ExtensionPay[1] (a service to help you take payments in extensions) and I used Mozilla's `browser` shim in the extension library itself. MV3 is not available on Firefox yet so I support both MV2 and MV3, but yeah it's a pain in the butt to have one MV2 version and one MV3 version.

This is what drove me nuts about literary and art classes, in addition to working in an artistic field. I would read artist statements from other artists and think wow, that’s a bit overblown, then talk to them, and it turned they thought it was BS too. But it was what curators and collectors were looking for. In literature classes, teachers would have specific interpretations about symbolism of small details and expect us to share the same interpretation and repeat it on tests.
> I agree with a lot of it, except for this: "And someone who never writes has no fully formed ideas about anything nontrivial."

This is just a rephrasing of the old adage that ~"to truly understand something, you must be able to teach it to others".
As you say, the sites are the way they are because that is what search engines and affiliate programs reward.

On Dumpster Diving (1991) [pdf]
I did a double take at that section, the text implied they'd spotted that one, and shifted the look up, and I was trying to figure out if they'd shared the wrong bit of code and assumed they had. But after seeing your comment and re-reading that passage I'm not sure they did.
Again we have the two sides "everything is thrown away" vs "everything is kept forever".

This: "Every time I go to grab a mod or something on Github, have an issue and see the tickets replied to with "Closed, join the discord for help!" I want to cave my own head in with an iron." - Turd Ferguson

is not the same value as a piece of documentation for how to use a tool might be, both needing to be kept forever and surfaced in all future search results. Forum content is awful in its own ways.

Is there no system which keeps good content and poor content is deleted over time? For values of 'good' and 'poor' which mirror what people might want in search results, 'what does $error mean?' being good and 'I HATE THING, THING USERS ARE IDIOTS' being bad even if archaeologists might love it.
I'm surprised to see them take such a narrow view of what kind of sites are suitable. It seems to me that the OP is providing a useful tool, why wouldn't Amazon want to reward him for driving (probably highly motivated to buy) traffic to their site.
Agreed. I use them in my editor but I ban them from my blog posts. They aren't helpful to others

I guess it would be a cooler article if they had found some way to manipulate the circuits.
Those are all valid points, but software subscriptions still make me extremely uncomfortable. I'm not a fan of subscription services in general, but that's a little off-topic.

Paying a monthly fee to Adobe in particular strikes me as a horrible proposition: extortionate early termination fees, constant price increases, the inability to use the software whenever their servers or CC program throw a fit, finding that your programs were broken by an update you didn't ask for... And, of course, there's the fact that you're essentially locked out of your own files if you ever terminate your subscription, even if you were a paying customer for years.

I really miss the days where you could just pay for something and have it.
> If I manufacture the best X device, should I be limited because its better than the rest?

no, market share is not a good proxy for product quality.

besides that, i dont get what you are trying to say.
Ask HN: Is Gmail spam out of control for everyone else too?
I’ve been seeing steadily more spam in my Gmail inbox for a long time now but the past couple weeks it has been on another level completely. At least 3 or 4 emails a day going to my inbox that follow the same pattern of gibberish subject line with a PDF attachment. I asked some coworkers and I don’t think it’s just me. Is there some subtlety to this situation or has Google just completely dropped the ball here? How are emails from strangers with PDF attachments not subject to a level of scrutiny that would catch this easily?

He said "should", not "will". Both of you are right.
The customer service desk really is the only thing about that worth it anymore for travel within the US, at least, and "worth it" has been questionable. Lounge access at some international airports is much, much nicer, but only worth it if those are places you're flying.

The United affiliate lounges in much of east Asia make United's own look even more embarrassing unless you're in one of the international first/business ones. Although when the Chicago Polaris lounge was new I got stuck there on a super delayed flight and managed to kill a bottle of Yamazaki whiskey almost by myself, which probably wasn't great for my health and against policy but I slept like a baby on the way to Germany when we finally departed.
Open-source also means the source is open, what you are looking for is free and honestly nothing is free... if you have a better term I'm open for suggestions.

But really open-source (as in free) is the misnomer here, it should be called free open-source, or FOSS as some correctly name it.
Making Championship Curling Ice
I know how to run pi, but that doesn't mean it makes sense for everyone else or even most of the people. Say you have some open source project and there is a need to have some form of communication. You can either jump through the hoops to host your own forum that you need to host and monitor. Now you are spending time you could be using to work on your project on sysadmin stuff. So either you pay for it, which feels bad when there is free alternatives available which will do the job just as well with only lacking some discoverability in form of text search, but you can redemy that by making a sticky comment where you have FAQ or whatever you need.

Evne with digital ocean you still need to worry your server and keep it up to date which again takes time out of your actual project.

I don't see what problems you people see with Discord. Yeah you can't take all of the conversation data with you, but is that really what you would even want? I don't know what kind of projects you are running where forum is so much superior to discord.
Scam? It’s a business travel incentive to continue traveling on the same airline even if it’s more expensive.

I just can’t shake the feeling that whenever I have to use Adobe software, it’s trying to do its hardest to make my life miserable.

Creative Cloud is the worst piece of software ever conceived. And why do I have to update the updater to then update creative cloud before I can update an app that refuses to open otherwise? It’s just pure madness and I really wish the market would finally put an end to this and just refuse to engage with Adobe’s malicious pricing and subscription policies.

Figma on the other end, feels like a good friend that has my best interests in mind. Hope it’s going to stay like this for a while.

>The term "server" used in the way Discord decided to use it is awkward and even off-putting.

That seems more than a bit ridiculous.
You do not require pinning, rather that is the opposite of the use case.

An actual use case where restartable windows are useful is when writing a data entry to a per-core buffer where the entire acquire-write-release sequence can be fit into the restartable window. This guarantees that the entirety of the write will occur on a single core even if it is preempted or moved as the sequence will restart on the new core if you get moved. The advantages of this approach are that you are guaranteed the buffer will be in the cache of the core being executed on guaranteeing excellent cache locality. The disadvantages are that you may have to redo the writes if you get preempted, but that should be very unlikely if your write is not too long.

In terms of the general case, restartable windows can be thought of as having a disable_preemption() or disable_core_migration() similar to how you might have a way of disabling interrupts except with some more constraints on what you can do while things are disabled.

Seems like you have an axe to grind here, care to elaborate a bit?
My operational definition of racism is a belief that race is somehow a useful means to discriminate between individual humans and behavior.

I think there's a difference between someone racist using the n word to demean you and someone ignorant using racist language to provoke or hurt you. The use of racist language is insufficient as confirmation of actual racism, but it is evidence.

A reading or quoting of Huckleberry Finn isn't necessarily racist. A lady looking to provoke you because she's crazy or drunk or bored isn't necessarily racist. In both cases, it depends on context and intent. What does the human involved believe and intend?

Ignorance and stupidity are not racism, they're basic human fallibility. You'll never eliminate them.

Lowering the bar for "actual racism" to include stupid and ignorant behavior - removing the criteria of intent and belief - means you're equating universal human behaviors with abhorrent memes. The distinction is pretty critical if we want to eliminate actual racism.

Formal organizations are a good social metric to gauge cultural involvement in racism. It's entirely socially unacceptable to take part in social groups known to be racist, and those organizations will eventually disappear - I see this as a positive indication that American culture is improving.

The allegations make it seem like there is a cluster of actual racists at the Tesla plant. It's not yokels ignorantly hassling or hazing coworkers, but actual racists harassing black people. The two scenarios indicate two entirely different problems.
So what are we expecting from the Telescope? I know it can look far back into the universe's time. But if you point out at our closest Star, would you be able to see planets in reasonable resolution (reasonable being some detail showing polar ice caps for example).
