No those are very much the same thing. If you can say give me your key or go to prison, the password doesn’t work that well. I would add that crypto is no longer even decentralized as well. Good luck find someone trust worthy to trade into and out of any fiat currency with only your wallet and without using or involving a centralized exchange or program. When goods and services aren’t able to be purchased in the crypto denomination that means on and off ramps actually make buying anything with crypto more expensive after paying any exchange fees. The only benefit would be if crypto went up in relation to fiat currency, but the ones getting rich are those earlier holders only. This is because when you buy crypto you are buying from another person. That other person took your fiat money in order to sell crypto, it was never created upon the moment you bought it except with certain stable coins which are essentially just banks for regular fiat currency, not actually crypto and definitely not decentralized.
That's not really a fair comparison. USB has been around a long time and provides a lot of functionality.

I love USB-C on my phone and think it's a great upgrade, but I'm not interested in contributing to more e-waste to upgrade a laptop that doesn't need it, just so I can buy more ultimately e-waste adapters with USB-C.

For me, the best thing about USB-C on a laptop is universal charging. That's been a game changer.
Had a friend who worked at one of those old internet portals. Their main portal was losing traffic. They wanted to redesign, but any A/B test of UI changes always resulted in faster loss of traffic (because of the "where is that button" effect). Ie people were only clinging to them because they were familiar with the UI and if that changed, they'd just go somewhere else.

The solution? Dozens of incremental changes to get from the old UI to the new one. Need to move a button across the site? Move it 10px at a time over a few weeks/month. Anything faster would just make the iceberg melt faster.
There is online manipulation here and pretty much everywhere else where people can discuss things.

before they start designing sports for the spectator, they should at least start designing the broadcast for the spectator. trying to watch the mens 5000m speedskating relay the other night was a frustrating experience - find the speedskating broadcast, and then somewhere in the middle of a 3hr video was the event i wanted to see. the only way to watch was to scrub around the video until i found it.

and maybe other broadcasters are doing a better job of surfacing things than CBC is, but as a canadian i'm restricted to only CBC's format, if a friend in another country shares a clip with me i can't watch it.
> The data does not back that assertion up, at all.

Median home prices are accelerating in their annual price increase with a significant uptrend beginning on the mid- to late '90s. This represents a significant percentage of personal budgets, and those who are on the margins will be pushed out without increasing their income.

It is an assertion on your part that there is no data.

As founder and main developer of a product, I feel that both the first suggestion of an aqui-hire and the second suggestion of getting a regular job at MSFT are completely ludicrous. Far too weak.

Framing this as becoming an employee at MSFT directly establishes a position of inferiority. This should have been about a licensing deal with the option to purchase some premium support on top to facilitate the integration. A B2B deal will never involve HR.

I think "a lot" is a bit of overstatement considering the amount of power you have here. My implementations around embedded resources usually look like this same set of 5 lines:

var assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
using var stream = assembly.GetManifestResourceStream("My.Embedded.Resource.png");
using var memoryStream = new MemoryStream();
stream.CopyTo(memoryStream);
var myPngBytes = memoryStream.ToArray();

>>I'd argue that I'd rather let someone steal than let them rot in jail for such a long time, for such a low monetary value, be it from debt or from theft.

There is a middle ground between these two extremes. Also, if you want to compare costs, you have to factor in the deterrence effect of the latter, which will translate to much less lost in theft, and in additional store security.

Eventually mining is self-extinguishing as collectively bitcoin holders only lose wealth. There aren't many potential new buyers left at this point, so the set of bitcoin holders can't change that much. On a long time scale bitcoin is a method to make people that think it's a good idea poorer than everyone else, at least in the average case. Social darwinism.
I like HN, but it could do with people being maybe a bit less uptight and a bit lighter sometimes. The comment section seems to have quite a few pedantic know it-alls taking themselves way to seriously; just like slashdot used to.

That's a fair point, but at least the one thing we don't have here (for the most part) in comparison to /. is the steady stream of comments of the

> Robots have no feelings.

Whoa hold up. Absolutely robots have feelings. What are feelings? They're signals warranting theory of mind and empathy. Even a fence gate has feelings, when you see it trying to close but it needs a little help to sit snugly in its well.

Gandhi said "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated." And in a time when animated machines roam campuses, we can look to Berkeley students for a model of moral progress.

> They deserve no pity, they're robots!. Don't donate free labor to corporations.

How do you treat service workers? Do you "shed no pity" because that waiter is employed by a corporation?

We really, really need to fight this attitude of fearing the discussion ("because you help the alt right") in all aspects of social life. This brings so much harm to humanity. I don't understand why. So many things have a positive and a negative side. Why shouldn't we discuss both? If anything, admitting a fact that doesn't fit your world view is not a sign of weakness but clear reason. I wish more people understood that, including journalists.
Could you share the LG monitor model?
> Sure. Now show me a human economy that's a closed system! We meat-sacks love our groceries, movie tickets, &c.

Yes, you're not required to identify yourself when you purchase those things. So a transaction between two parties for the exchange of goods would be private. I can send money to my mom and you'll never know.

> As we've seen with every single legal exchange, this isn't true: you only need to identity the coins themselves as having been laundered or obtained from/otherwise mixed with the produce of a crime, and nobody will accept your money.

No one can stop an address from receiving from another address. You can implement tracing and enforcement to make it difficult for a particular transaction within a particular jurisdiction, but this is a function of social implementation, not the network. And if you want even more anonymity, look into Monero.

> "Just change the protocol" has worked out famously well for every cryptocurrency so far ;-)

Not sure what you mean by that. I think the proliferation of competing ideas and forks is a good thing. Most projects are bad, but over time only the strong will survive.
There are lots of good reasons in the article. One reason I didn't think they paid enough attention to, though, is that there is just a lot more stuff to do these days. We still have TV, books, board games, the great outdoors, hobbies, and all of the other things we had 30 years ago. But we also have video games, commercial-free streaming TV and movies, social media, and all of the other high-grade digital entertainment that comes with the Internet. And it's right in our pocket or at our side 24/7, and spoon-fed to us by algorithms designed to maximize our engagement.

People just don't need to get bored any more. There is always instant, easy comfort available. I think that's why it's harder to find motivation to go out and do things that are even more fun, and certainly more meaningful, but which are also more work.
Until we're out of this labor shortage, reducing the number of unskilled jobs society needs is a good thing.

My experience is that pair programming is extremely efficient.

But it’s very tiring, you get rapidly exhausted at that level of concentration, there is a need to take breaks and to recharge by doing simpler task alone between sprints.
On one hand, this is pretty nice. I've always hated the career management aspect of working in the software industry, and so to have it so transparent and approachable makes a ton of sense so you can focus on doing work.

However, my big question is how expectations and performance management scale with level? If someone's not there yet, but hits the years of experience for the next level, are they fired? Likewise, whose responsibility is it for people to get those skills by the time they age into the next promotion?

Quick edit: Also wanted to call out how well written this post is. It lays out the facts, peoples objections, unknowns, and anticipates questions (salespeople remain on variable comp, equity isn't being addressed yet). So kudos to the author for the great writing on this thoughtful piece.
This has also been true in Linux developer conferences. About 10 years ago, it was difficult seeing anyone running desktop Linux, and even more difficult seeing non-Apple hardware. Last 5 years situation changed significantly.

Why? If you have to spend almost 10M$~ on an expensive high tech upper stage you your just gone throw in the ocean its clearly give you a price lower bound.

Starship does 150t in its early version while being fully reusable.

Don't know about the cloning of his product, but in terms of negotiation: Don't let yourself get strung along just because someone waves something you want in front of your face.

It's absolutely vital in any negotiation that you set boundaries and that you are are willing to walk away if those boundaries aren't respected. Especially if you really want what they are offering.

In all, it seems the ball spent a lot of the time in their court, and not a lot in his. Either they want the guy or they don't, he shouldn't have to spend months jumping through hoops for the position if they are legitimately interested in his work.

It kinda reads like a Nigeria scam: Just give us one more month and you'll get the money, I swear. It's tied up with customs right now, so if you could just do this one thing...

Whatever bureaucracy they have to deal with is entirely their problem, not his. This tedious non-committal nonsense is not something you should tolerate from anyone. Sure if it's a 2 person startup things may not be smooth, but this is Microsoft we're talking about. They should have their shit together more than that.

Within the general context of someone offering you a position based on your work, they have the privilege of talking to you and should be expected to treat you at least like a peer and not like some random job applicant desperate to get hired.

I don't mean to suggest you should be a diva about it, but that you should respect yourself and be willing to say no to anyone who doesn't.
Stamps are self adhesive now, for this reason and others.
Pair programming should be another tool for your tool chest, not some religious orthopraxis that needs to be performed because some book told them it was good and so you should do the good thing all the time (and that is probably the root of all evil). There are a lot of times I've found pair programming very useful. Sometimes you just don't know why a behavior is happening and you need another set of eyes on it, or you kind of have an idea of what you need to do but the implementation is complex enough that it's not easy to keep everything in your own head anymore. We've saved a lot of time, many a time that way.

But if the problem "clicked" already and I know what I need to do and where I need to go, it's just a waste of another person's time, and my own when I suddenly start making unusual mistakes because someone is looking over my shoulder.

Sounds like that 50/50 joke (about the likelihood of bumping into a dinosaur in the street).
I think there is a difference between treating a robot with respect versus treating it as if it were a sentient, feeling being.

It's socially acceptable and encouraged to treat specifically arranged stones with absolute reverence (an important masonry buildings) but no one should treat it as if it was worth of pity or empathy.

A robot is animated by circuitry and code which receive input from sensors, but I personally do not believe they are "feeling" in the way animals are (humans included in "animals" here). At least not these robots. I won't speak to the future here.

> People who exercise are less likely to gain weight in the first place

People who exercise are inherently more health conscious in the first place, so that's not surprising. That doesn't mean the exercise is responsible for that.
Take a look at my response to jstx1
I've heard of those, they sound mildly interesting to play with, if just to go "huh" at and move on. I get the impression the main reason they developed a... strained reputation was their strong tendency to want to do RAID things (involving custom metadata and other proprietaryness) even for single disks, making data recovery scenarios that much more complicated and stressful if it hadn't been turned off. That's my naive projection though, I (obviously) have no real-world experience with these cards, I just knew to steer far away from them (heh)

An inline widget (SATA on both sides) that just implements a write cache and state machine ("push this data to these blocks on next power on") seems so much simpler. You could even have one for each disk and connect to a straightforward RAID/SAS controller. (Hmm, and if you externalize the battery component, you could have one battery connect to several units...)

You are indeed right about the battery/capacitor situation ("you have to open the case?!"), I wouldn't be surprised if the battery level reporting in those RAID cards was far from ideal too lol

With all this being said, a UPS is by far the simplest solution, naturally, but also the most transiently expensive.
You could do that but if you want to support a lot of different microcontrollers which may all have different implementations, separating the code into a different file makes more sense. Even if you add ifdef statements for every supported controller in there and the file becomes a mess of conditional code, you still have a clean implementation of the file system.
Damn that used to be such a big deal a few years ago. You don’t see it anymore.
I get the impression that cardio affects some people differently. I'm taking some time off from my 30+ miles a week running habit to let my foot heal up. I'm now at about 10 miles + cycling and nordic skiing when I can but overall probably 1/2 to 2/3 the cardio than I've been used to for the past 4 or 5 years.

But I've had no problem keeping weight off by just adjusting the amount that I eat. However, if I upped the cardio, I'd be able to (and want) to eat an extra 500-600 calories to compensate, and still lose weight.

I swear I can maintain weight eating more than what I supposedly burn while active, which could make sense if you buy into the whole "your metabolic rate can be work-hardened" concept.

This is an important point - developers have a tendency to focus on our individual performance rather than the performance of the entire organization. In my experience, while individual performance goes down for some with pair/mob programming, both quality and velocity go up for the whole organization.

And it goes without saying that we developers love our freedom because it means we can work at our own pace. Often I find when I'm pairing all day I'm putting in way more focused time than when I am soloing.

U++ – Cross-Platform App Development Framework – Overview
With a 10 dollar scale and an App like Lose It, it is pretty easy. They have both things with UPC codes for easy look up and standard foods, for example brown rice or salmon. I keep track and probably spend less than 5 minutes a day getting everything down. Obviously it will be difficult at a restaurant unless you want to bring a scale with you or beg the wait staff but largely they won't mind and if you're order grilled chicken and veg most likely they won't mind measuring the chicken for you. Anyways, the stuff on labels are estimates so the whole process has some moderate error so as long as you estimate fairly you don't have to worry about being crazy accurate.
> Yes, let's make innocent people crash their cars! That'll teach the people who left the scooters there a lesson!
