Disqus is a centralized service. The comments and discussions live on a third party data provider. You don't own this data.

The whole point of the exercise (doind static websites) is to own your data and make the internet more decentralized like it was intended to be.
> With cash, the moment the object and the bills change hands, the funds transfer has irrecovably settled without any external dependency being possible.

It isn't even remotely true. You might get mugged, you might lose money, you might get counterfeit money.
> Systems were simpler, side-effects were better understood and contained.

I'm going to disagree, here. Things were as difficult as they ever have been since. Systems and side-effects are better understood only in hindsight.

Coding in assembly because higher-order language wasn't invented yet. Coding in a text editor because IDEs were not a thing. Searching linked lists because what's a data-base, not to mention SQL. Needing to keep things lean because 32kb was an ungodly waste.

In that light, things are easier than ever.

One can be both professional and whimsical. In fact, I'd argue that true mastery will only come with a sense of fun and interest in your craft.

Applying whimsy can be an engineering decision. Using 418 when any error code will do, for example, if it affects nothing else.
It's probably a contrarian perspective and if people downvote it then I guess it's a good sign for me.
> ...don't want to relieve it in favor of the new countries. That puts them in a situation where they are not allowed to travel because of lacking passports. There is additional discrimination...

They put themselves in that situation by not getting new passports, so if there's any "additional discrimination" it's done by themselves. If they didn't want to become citizens of their newly independent ex-Soviet Republics but remain Russians, they should have moved to Russia.

> Of course that is not at all an excuse for an invasion.

It certainly is being used as one, just as it has in the past.
Cash is effectively a giant tumbler. All the privacy technologies in the cryptocurrency space are just trying to replicate the base privacy functionality of cash.

The reason why surveillance-state-centered interests cannot ban cash is that the public wouldn't stand for it. It's too ingrained in the culture and economy. The same needs to happen with private cryptocurrencies. We need MetaMask to adopt a confidential transaction standard the same way the major websites adopted HTTPS over a decade ago. We still have time as the financial mass-surveillance laws in place were designed for trusted third party financial intermediaries, and not peer-to-peer finance.

Yeah, it sounds like ADPCM with a fixed ratio like that. It's extremely simple and adds no latency, which are both good for streaming.

Usually a fixed compression ratio is a terrible tradeoff, but for streaming it kind-of makes sense.

When scanning my wife’s childhood home we found enough space for a large hidden room in the house. We couldn’t figure out how to access it without looking too suspicious (we didn’t want anyone to know we knew).
It would have been interesting to also estimate how much CO2 would be reduced if instead of a glass roof they used a normal properly insulated roof. So we can see what is the CO2 cost of a stylish glass roof.

Note: I suggest using underfloor heating, it should be more efficient with a glass roof, because there is less hot air to raise to the top of the house.
Perhaps the most Dunning-Kruger response I can imagine. Education is never a license to practice in any industry, and rarely required for anything in software. Confusing this only devalues education for the developer too ignorant or entitled to understand the difference.

> It's hard to hide who has been jailed

None of the “influencers” we talk about are jailed. Nor does having your money frozen mean “jail”. It sure can be really bad and not without consequences, but even fully IRL we wouldn’t describe someone having all his possessions taken as jailed.

Then govs have been freezing account under many pretenses for decades, except we now have a chance to get the affected people to come forward and explain they’re getting shafted. That wouldn’t happen a few decades ago, there was no way the local news would touch a story about some random peeps getting frozen under a terrorist charge for instance. Do you really think it’s worse now for activists than decades ago ?

I don't believe there's a specific percentage, but for reference, I also believe the BLM protests were mostly peaceful, and I have plenty of video downloaded showing buildings burning and police cruisers being destroyed. Most of the BLM violence that occurred was initiated by police attempting to clear public spaces, including roads.

A crowd of people intent on harming others would be violent. I haven't seen any evidence that either protest included such crowds, police excepted.

UUID is part of your language stdlib, or at least there will be widely tested dependencies for the formats. Are you that certain about the parser of your own custom format?...
Agreed, not sure what jb1991 refers to as colder climates. Countries with colder climates normally have decent indoor temperatures during winter. In Norway for example, you would be considered crazy to have anything less than 21-22C indoors.
Ironically, the rise of the US as an economic power probably was what ended the Victorian dream of noble men doing nothing but looking for ever more refined expressions of art and culture. Huysmans wrote about it in his still very relevant novel "À rebours".
Average UK indoor temperature is about 17.5c-18c apparently so hardly freezing. A bit chillier than I like in my office.

Personally in winter I heat my house to 14c as a minimum, 20c in the living room and office. Reason being I only need warmth if I'm sat down and not moving, so any higher and I start to get too hot.
So it might actually be a good business strategy to just focus on building a popular game, and outsource optimization to the graphics card companies for free?
I work in temps as low as 5 C and as high as 34 C in this old Dutch house attic. It's not at all pleasant, but there's no upgrading this rented place. It's not worth it for the owner as they will never recover their costs by increased rent.

So I wear 3-4 layers, including fingerless gloves and a hat. It looks ridiculous, but nobody sees me. And in summer, well... I don't wear much or anything. I at least put on a shirt for video calls :P.

The collective amount of hours wasted clicking those popups must be enormous.

You can't add them up and use that time though. That time is always going to be fragmented in to unusable bits. Millions of people wasting 2s each is not equivalent to thousands of hours of lost productivity. Likewise, one person wasting 2s many of times a year can't be replaced with a useful hour.

The 'lost time' argument doesn't make sense.
With Russia things are also going for decades. Whole nonsense with Ukraine started 2014 if I'm not mistaken. Since Soviet union failed, they are being bullies all the time. And now apparently something is done? Before 1939, England and France probably also though that they are doing something.
What will happen in the coming years between China and Taiwan.

I wonder how you even manage to measure this in a way TypeScript looks so much worse than JavaScript (21.5 vs 4.45). After compilation it's literally the same language.

Edit: The culprit seems to be the compute-heavy benchmark `fannkuch-redux` which basically plays around with permutations. The problem I see with this is that TypeScript is generally used for very different applications, and in those it'll rarely be any different than JS. Same with Python, which you wouldn't use for data crunching without one of the well-known highly efficient libraries (which were not written in Python).
So overall this asks the question "what are the greenest programming languages for benchmarks?"
> Society needs it’s members to believe that they can improve it, that they are represented by a government, and that they can influence it’s path.

I'll believe in the benevolent government that rejects abusing their authority for the purpose of mass surveillance when I see one. I believe people still have the power to push for small/minor changes in government so long as those changes don't threaten the powerful. Anything else is pretty unlikely. You can call it cynicism, but it's been known for a long time that the only people who can substantially influence government are large corporations or the extremely wealthy (see https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/perspectives-on-poli...)

I still support the ideal that people should be able work within the system to challenge the entrenched powerful, but the evidence for it actually working in most cases isn't strong and my government has spent centuries making adjustments when they've been shown to be vulnerable in order to make it harder. I don't think people should stop trying for change, but at a certain point, you have to accept the situation you actually have while you try to find a realistic path to something better.

The thing about "non-custodial-money": Unless someone is willing to literally hide a small fortune under his mattress, there is really no such thing;

What's most peoples primary source of money? Jobs.
How are these jobs paid? Usually as a wire transfer to some bank account.
Custodial Money.

Sure, someone could go to the ATM every payday and then actually hide the money. But this comes with lots of serious drawbacks: physical cash can be damaged, stolen, even forgotten. The Blorkchain is only the digital form of the mattress; drives can get damaged, hacks can happen, keys can be forgotten. Plus, with its volatility, even if no catastrophe strikes, it may well be that the money lost a lot of its worth at the point when it's needed.

In hindsight, I understand your confusion. I agree with your comment.

Without static analysis tools like error-prone, findbugs, nullaway, checker framework, sonar, PMD, IDE-provided analysers, et cetera, it is easy to write problematic Java.

On the other hand, the Java ecosystem has an abundance of such tools available and almost everybody is using them. (Hence, "but I do have that")

> But if you deny that Russia has security interests in that region, you basically are asking for a war. And the Russians have made it very clear that it is seen that way and made their reaction very predictable.

Russia's "security interests" are, as they have ever been, aggressive unilateral expansion. Nobody else was "asking for a war"; nobody needs to, because Russia is always only too willing to serve one up unasked. So yes indeed, "their reaction [is] very predictable". It always is, and it's of course even easier to predict when it's a "reaction" to circumstances they themselves engineered.

> Yet, western nations ignored that completely.

So WTF were they supposed to do? Acquiesce and appease, as so many times before? There has to be a limit somewhere. Putin cannot count on Munich 1938 going on forever.
It would have been interesting to also estimate how much CO2 would be reduced if instead of a glass roof they used a normal properly insulated roof.

Buildings like this in Paris are often so tightly packed together that windows in walls barely provide any light. Replacing the roof with a more standard one would necessitate giving up any daylight and having lights on all the time.
And not only in England - all of Europe's elite, in France, Germany, Hungary, Austria, Russia, spend their days sponsoring art and partying, basically. They were the ones paying all the famous composers, painters, etc. whose work we still marvel at today.

My guess is that the Mac was code named “bicycle” because Jobs loved the analogy of the computer being like a bicycle for your brain, it’ll let you leverage your own capacity to go much further/get things done much faster.

I’ve been using Swift Concurrency for the last several months and while it has a lot of nice things going for it there’s still a lot of ways you can “hold it wrong” and get incredibly poor performance. If you block a thread in the thread pool you’re going to deadlock. It’s still pretty easy to create data races (possibly with mis-annotated or poorly thought out types). And logical races are absolutely still a thing, and I might even say they are more common because the messaging is that this’ll magically solve all your concurrency problems and it doesn’t do that.

This is a true statement that doesn't address any of the arguments; a non-sequitur. Yes, computers are better at remembering and interpreting (some) data than humans.

What does that have to do with the humans who access and use that data for their own, very human ends? You skipped that part.
