Tools That Improved My Engineering Productivity
Yes, this is a ground-up implementation using TeaVM and the Flavour toolkit.

Flavour: https://teavm.org/docs/flavour/templates.html
The marketplaces like OpenSea often show metadata and % of other items in the same collection with the same metadata

This is in competition with other services that only do those things, such as rarity.tools

For example,

https://opensea.io/assets/0xbc4ca0eda7647a8ab7c2061c2e118a18...

This item in this collection has a "properties" tab on that UI, which shows you what was read and compared to the others in the contract
They're actually not that bad "Unauthorised Bread" made me laugh out loud a few times, and some of them are pretty short so if you find you don't like them it's not a huge waste of your time. Anyway, it's one of those things where up front you might think "bleh" but it's actually not bad.
Except beanie babies have no inherent value, but ETH has vast inherent value in numerous ways

1. Immutability

2. Decentralization

3. Cheap, fast, secure cross-country money transfers

4. Protection against inflation

5. Independence of banks or arbitrary freezes of your funds

6. Access to a vast variety of financials services

7. Is quite likely the replacement of money

The fact that people still don’t get that in 2022 is astonishing.
The comment you're answering to is pointing out that this is unsustainable in its current implementation in El Salvador (and implicitly unlikely to last), meaning that this example does not refute that

Building bicycle wheels used to be my personal zen activity many, many years ago. My brain and hands would go on autopilot mode and all manner of creative background processing would happen as a result. Tuning skis in the winter had a similar effect.

Just remembering this and writing it down here has me thinking I should pick that up again during high-stress times like the present.

This is a super cool project, OP. Very nice work.
It's a little trickier with Ethereum's account model. On Bitcoin each address has a list of inputs (and outputs, if spent), but on Ethereum it's just accounts with balances. If ETH goes into a contract that holds funds from a lot of sources, then the ETH that comes back out is just from that contract. If you wanted to assign it some particular previous source you'd need to come up with some arbitrary method like FIFO or LIFO.

Bingo. There are two facts you need to understand Google's relationship with GCP. Cloud margins are the worst margins of anything at Google, so if there has to be a choice on where to spend money, it can only go to Cloud begrudgingly, or as part of some long game. Second thing you need to know is Google's internal workloads are way, way bigger than you are imagining. So if you see a headline that Google invested $100 billion in datacenters, don't imagine that all, most, or even a lot of that went toward GCP capacity. They spend that money on search, advertising, and letting an AI play ten million years of StarCraft.

Sorry, but that's exactly what is wrong with the web, and what we strive to "fix" about it when we build decentralized alternatives to centralized infrastructure.

It is a systemic failure that most users must "fail over" to a centralized service to publish on the web.

The conceptual improvement enabled by blockchain is that the data layer is a neutral plane and this theoretically gives users portability. But, to say that centralization is fine because it has happened on the web and that was also fine is rationalizing a bad thing as good actually.

Of course, the real irony in all of this is that it’s an open secret that many bigger farms hire illegals for their labor, pay them less than minimal wage, house them in leaky shanties, and basically hold them hostage by thinly veiled threats about calling INS. Profitable farms cannot afford to follow every law, because they are competing in a marketplace where almost all of the winners cheat.
It's a hard thing to describe, but among people doing that kind of job, an insult like that can be a signal that you're "on the inside" of the group. It's pretty contextual and you have to listen to their tone of voice.

If you've seen Good Will Hunting, imagine Affleck and Damon's characters meeting again years down the road. Affleck might call Damon a "computer pussy" but both of them know Affleck is proud of Damon and would trade places with him if he had the skills.

Not to say "computer pussy" isn't potentially extremely condescending; just that such usage of profanity among laborers is often colloquially used to express sincere kinship and camaraderie.

So I'll skim through the content first without trying to retain knowledge

then I ask myself, is there anything interesting I can build involving this concept? or any useful activity I can do?

and I try to build it or do it, while using multiple sources of knowledge, but I never try to just remember stuff, the brain naturally remember the pieces of the knowledge that were actually needed the most while practicing. you don't know what's important to remember until you practiced, so in the end if you try to just retain knowledge you remember very badly a lot of things, but if you practice really early you remember very well what was actually important

Undertensioned wheels will start to fail in about 1-2000k from fatigue in the j bend of the spokes. They're a lot easier to build, because spoke windup and nipple galling don't start to be an issue until you get to decent tensions.

There are three failure modes that I've seen for an over-tensioned wheel:

1) The wheel will buckle in a potato chip shape - This is generally something that will happen at build time, and can be recovered from.
2) The inner wall of the rim will pull away from the side wall. This was particularly bad with the old Mavic MA single eyelet rims, but I've seen it on at least one other rim as well, a lightweight MTB rim laced as a tandem rear. (Completely inappropriate choice of components)
3) Spokes can be improperly tightened without lubrication in the threads, causing windup which later (when unloaded under tire pressure and rolling loads) causes the pinging sound of the wheel going out of true. This is not a structural failure, but it does cause the wheel to require attention.

For the buckling limit case, the ultimate load depends on the torsional stiffness of the rim, and a few other minor factors. Box or closed section rims are much better, U shaped rims are bad. Paradoxically, thinner spokes are better, and you need to lubricate the nipple threads and the contact with the rim. I used to really like the Mavic Open4 rims with the double eyelets, but that's gone out of style now.
So it's 1 friend and not 10 that are self-proclaimed dbags. Well I guess add me to that list.

The replacement rate for computers is slowing substantially but the production of throwaway fast-fashion tech doodads and gizmos is increasing YOY. Also, that whataboutism looks past the utility of the computer vs the arduboy. "It doesn't seem like a huge problem" but perhaps our consumption generally is a problem and this is but one symptom. "Just don't buy it." talks past the PC because they are looking at this as a societal issue.
Then you missed the point of this whole thing. Some of us would rather die with the keys then let the State steal funds from them. Cryptocurrency is the first technology that lets you take wealth to the grave and keep it there.
That looks great, but AGPL makes everyone nervous.
i meant with. google has built some really great tools for minimizing toil when pushing major changes across a codebase. even then, there’s a nontrivial overhead that is borne across the company.

> Why would you say that is?

many/most businesses don’t have the margins/scale/time to focus on it. in a lot of businesses (amazons included) the goal for the business is to try as many things as fast as possible and scale that which works and abandon what fails. the goal of infrastructure there is to get out of the way and enable the layers above to build things as naively and simply as possible with little to no churn.
Yes, it is different, but not in a boolean sort of way. It is impolite to make fun of people for something that is not their fault... and generally speaking, the degree to which it wasn't a choice (and the degree to which it impacts someone's life experience) contributes to the degree of impoliteness.
I prefer adnaseum

We should punish the world being built upon ads. We need to be aggressors and go on the offense rather than passively blocking them

The drive for increasingly fine tuned ads is what destroyed our privacy at the corporate level. Then this data became ripe for the taking by government.

Ad networks are used to spread malware, suck of bandwidth the advertiser externalizes to you.

If you want people to pay for content - make content worth paying for.

And if we can't have social media bc the cost would be too much to bare without ad revenue? I consider this a problem solving itself. Adios.
I’m glad I had a real progression unlike most people who do a CS degree and then get a high paying job. I did manual min wage labor as a teen, then min wage IT work, then barely above that “programming” work in my small city, then finally my first real programming job and now I’m in the mid-echelons of software in a big tech city. Life is good! I still think work philosophically sucks for me (FIRE one day..) but I wouldn’t trade this job for any of the earlier ones - doubly so now that I get paid 20-30x more.
He's probably wrong, but it doesn't matter.

A deep NN can simulate any function. One that's big enough can generalise input data in any way, including in the same ways the hims mind works.

The universe of possible knowledge of large neutral network is much bigger than the ones of any human brain. The challenge is making it become a superset of the other.
I think it is more than just condescension. In job's like plumbing or carpentry, it is much easier to ascertain when your work is done and if it is good. The workmen on a house remodel have a fixed(ish) scope and at the end of the day the homeowner is either happy with the work or not. The outcomes are tangible and quickly ascertained. On the other hand, when you start work on a software project, it will take months or possibly years to know if the strategy or architecture you chose pays off. The roadmap concept also means software is never done and there is always more code that needs to be written.

In the software world, you don't get the satisfaction of knowing that you have done something well in the same visceral way physical trades provide.
We are the music makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams; —
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams:
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world for ever, it seems.

With wonderful deathless ditties
We build up the world's great cities,
And out of a fabulous story
We fashion an empire's glory:
One man with a dream, at pleasure,
Shall go forth and conquer a crown;
And three with a new song's measure
Can trample a kingdom down.

We, in the ages lying,
In the buried past of the earth,
Built Nineveh with our sighing,
And Babel itself in our mirth;
And o'erthrew them with prophesying
To the old of the new world's worth;
For each age is a dream that is dying,
Or one that is coming to birth.

gcc-ia16 and OpenWatcom are both modern compilers that generate as good a set of code as any compiler ever did for Pentium and older processors. But using a higher level language like C means there’s more than one compiler that can compile your DOS. That’s a reason to be hopeful if you’re a DOS developer.

This is accurate however the following isn't necessarily accurate:

There are plenty of solid privacy chains based on well understood cryptography. On top of that it is becoming increasingly easy/viable for existing networks to integrate privacy preserving Tx into their networks. Ex: Litecoin (a long standing Bitcoin software fork) integrating privacy preserving Tx via the MimbleWimble protocol and Extension Blocks (together referred to as the MWEB hard fork).

Developments like the introduction of MWEB show that even if the government knows you or your Tx today, all you have to do is make an MWEB (or equivalent) transaction and all of a sudden that chain of visibility goes dark.

Additionally while it may be possible for the government or any organisation to forcibly extract access or knowledge from you with force, we as a society should not be content with making that easy. Prior to the introduction of the internet and digital society, organisations had to spend far more effort to collect far less (and far less reliable) information. We should be making every push to set that pre-digital information era as a baseline or absolute minimum for privacy standards.

Same, and I am probably younger than this guy.

My really basic understanding after reading very slowly is he got some crypto asset from scammer, and he needed to approve lending it out to get some sort of crypto interest on it. But approving the "lending X out" action apparently looks exactly like the same as the "give Y away" action if you don't look closely at the contract.

Maybe it's just ignorance, but the whole system seems like a mess to me.
Unless the spokes go slack, the tension does not affect the stiffness of the wheel. Properly functioning wheels operate in the linear elastic region.

Higher tension is related to higher ultimate load capacity and better fatigue resistance.
Anecdotal, but I still have and use my GPD XD regularly. It's better than 99% of 'retro' handhelds out there and it holds together well. There's a guy out there updating it to a recent Android version too.

Not all of us succumb to the latest flavour of the month, and wasteful people are naturally wasteful regardless. If it's not this, it'll just be something else.
The bar has to be a little higher than that.

OK, it became a coup attempt the moment someone shouted "Hang Mike Pence!" at a riot where some people built a gallows, some people roved around inside the building carrying Tasers and handcuffs, and some other people brought firearms, ammunition, and IEDs.

But I imagine you'll just move the bar^H^H^Hgoalposts again, because that's what Trump apologists are good at.

Meanwhile, holy shit, imagine if those people really had been the BLM and Antifa agitators that the Republicans tried so desperately to tell us they were.

Maybe Jan. 6 still clears that bar. I don't know enough of the details to say that it doesn't

On the off chance that's true, I would say that this is an excellent time to start paying attention to what's going on. Again, we have about 10 years, give or take, going by the example of the Beer Hall Putsch.
I think you missed the point of my message.

My point was that any reasonable person agrees on the "protect the kids" statement. The common ground is obvious but the "how" is not.

There are valid medical arguments why a 16 year old should not drink alcohol (brain development). But there are also valid arguments why they should be allowed anyway. For example 16 matched the age where most western teens with the desire to drink alcohol make their first experience with alcohol anyway and it clearly is in no ones interest if they would have to break the law to do so. Possibly even push an already 18 year old friend to break the law by buying it for them.
Also letting them make their first experience with alcohol with stuff that is unlikely to kill them is probably a good thing too. And yes, drinking before being allowed to drive a car seems to be commonly acknowledged as positive.

So no matter which stance someone has on this, the goal is to protect young people we just dont all agree on the "how".

If people in a region need protection services I am sure they will figure out a way to pay for it. Otherwise said service may not be really that important. If you worry about not getting 100% of people to pay without coercion and threatening taking their freedom to move, good news, even now over 50 percent of Americans don’t pay taxes or pay a tiny amount. The interested parties will take care of it easy.
I'm exactly in this position, yet when I said in another thread that I was quite content with my salary that's mid-tier for Seattle (but fantastically wealthy in a lot of the rest of the country), at a company that's all but certain to be around for at least the rest of my working lifetime, doing work to enable that company to do work that I consider useful (we're a medical practice group), and had no plans to change, I got incredulous replies.

One of the things I legitimately struggle to understand about other people is the willingness to exchange an irreplaceable thing, time, for a very replaceable thing, money, and suffer while doing it when other choices exist. The "when" in that bit is very important. A lot of people do not have that choice, and I understand why they continue; there's no other option. But for people who do what we do and how we do it, why chase the brass ring for so long? You don't have to suffer at Amazon, no amount of stock options are worth it. You will never get back that night you spent working on that one last thing instead of going home to your partner or kids or friends. The marginal impact of another $5,000 when you already make $125,000 in a year is very small.

And, as a bonus, not only are you helping yourself, you're helping the rest of our industry. Since we are largely allergic to unions in this industry, the only leverage we have is if enough people finally realize that it is possible to have a good work as part of a good life.
You arguing a straw man. Thinking that Russia will bomb Perl Harbor and attempt to take over US next day after occupying Ukraine is not a mainstream opinion. However, Russia is already military active far outside their self-proclaimed "sphere of influence" (Mali, Syria), so you are factually incorrect and (wittingly or un-wittingly) perpetuate Russian propaganda talking points.
