> Nobody is disputing that BTC needs to scale throughput, you misunderstand my point. Bcash was a disagreement on how to scale it.

And changing a bridge into an airport might be characterised as a disagreement on how to cross the river in question, but that characterisation would be utterly dishonest. The fact that people accepted the same dishonest characterisation when it came to "lets change decentralised global peer to peer currency to a settlement network for central banks and let them handle the last mile of transactions" is exactly my point and exactly why things are so utterly hopelessly broken.

People really didn't question this nonsense as much as they actually saw it, and most people never even saw it to begin with to question it, it's ancient history now, buried, but absolutely undisputed that while the exchanges simply bless whatever the core devs say is BTC as such, they hold the power to define what that is.

> What I'm trying to get out of you is how the "winning fork" should be decided, beyond just "I think my fork should have won".

Exactly how it was going to be done before bitfinex (who is also invested in blockstream, whose CTO at the time was the head of the faction responsible for this inane nonsense) changed to the "whatever the core devs say is what we'll bless as BTC" and then all the other exchanges backed off and followed bitfinex assumedly as to not allow the chaotic confusion that would ensue if the original plan to follow the hashpower was held to.

And that is how I believe it should've been done. That's how it was done on later splits between BCH and BSV, and then again between BCH and XEC. In fact that's how it's always done, generally speaking, except in this isolated case when it is likely because of the incestuous relationship between all the parties involved to fix the match to castrate BTC entirely.

> The group of developers running the centralized exchanges

The group of developers who get to decide entirely on their own what is the canonical chain, in light of the fact that for this precedent, the exchanges allocate them that privilege as discussed above.
I have seen other statements.

i already made my suggestion and it wasn’t “throw up your hands and say there’s nothing more we can do”

“…perhaps discussing real solutions would be more beneficial?”

Maybe we come up with nothing but tens of thousands of lives could be saved if we think of something.

A week from now the world is going to wish it had done more.

> This all falls apart without a good tight spec

Maybe I've had 30 years of bad luck, but I've never seen a "good tight spec" since I started programming professionally in 1992. Most of the time there's no "spec" at all.

Even if you do manage to get the estimate-demanders to back off until the spec is good and tight, you're just moving the problem upstream - they'll just want an estimate on how long it will take to get the spec right.
30 years is a short enough time in this case; one generation (my age) might play baseball because their parents did, even though the neighborhood doesn't have 18 kids with nothing to do, but the next would find no reason to.

> I feel like the US military would have to be completely incompetent to not be able to easily dismantle them at this point considering the size of their budget.

Or, you know, unwilling to start a nuclear war.

Which dismantling the 50%+ of Russia's conventional military committed to Ukraine would very possibly lead to.
You would be surprised.

I’m one of those that is harder to pick out (but that is not true of many others), so I’ll make a subtle reference as early on as possible if the conversation allows (I don’t force it).

Better to discover a place you won’t advance, early in the process. More so for executive roles than IC.

Also have seen when raising capital.
It is like nuclear power plant construction projects, that way.
The Russian political apparatus really is digging a hole they won't be able to get out of, isn't it?

Such an expensive mess, especially for the Ukrainians, who are paying it with their lives, for reasons outside their control.
That’s not an official response and, honestly, I doubt they went through every single data point to check whether they existed before this week or not.

If I were an idiot planning to use a public product for classified opsec activities, the least I would do is try and make them blend in with existing data to reduce the chances of it being removed for just this purpose.
Hence the saying that the only difference between the government and the mafia is that when the government does it, it is legal.

Why would Apple pour resources into it? To save a few cents licensing costs on a $1,000 smartphone and give up a decade of hardware and software investment. Sorry, not buying it.
You only list what are favors Putin's stance while totally writes off all the other points like nuclear agreement, mirrored Taiwan situation. How about Russia tried to join NATO too? I am not going through every points in such biased manner.

None of the above justify the total war and kill civilians of another sovereign state like this, end of story. You can keep wasting your time on this site.
Or tag the Russian convoys and bases as Ukrainian and see if the Russians shoot themselves.
False. Current Ukrainian government was elected democratically in 2019.

> Also best not to point out that very large contingents of the defenders are actual literal Nazis.

In a nutshell, torn between the extreme ends of high compile-time cost and large code size of a C++ flavored implementation and the high runtime cost and dangers of boxing/unboxing (Java), Golang opted for "none of the above" and tried to limit complexity drivers / powerfulness / expressiveness / usefulness instead, keeping the impact on both compile time and run time low.

About how well that decision will turn out in practice, we'll start to know soon.

Do you have any references about Richard Garriot stealing networking code? I havent heard of that before.
Surely it is because of the open source ecosystem, especially open-source tooling, reaching a critical mass?

From article: “The open-source community developed key tools that are crucial to make RISC-V-based processors ubiquitous, such as chip technology process design kits, design verification suites, implementation tools, and more”

Closed source tooling was available and “smart”, but licensing, cost, and inflexibility were significant roadblocks. Disclaimer: I don’t work in the industry.

No. Please read the articles. You aren't getting the full story reading user comments.
I think the last few years have given people false confidence about the market. Sure the trend generally goes up, but if your loan came due in March 2020 that money wouldn't have been there.
Unless you also know a bunch of bad hackers from Eastern European state universities, it sounds like you're saying that pedigree is actually a great measure.
I'm really confused by this take. From the use of the word "demonized" to your direct assertion that the definition of terrorist is somehow "warped" to make it fit the Taliban. Can you take a look at this non-exhaustive list and let me know what you believe is "warped" based on public record? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taliban#Condemned_practices
Companies fail. Information doesn't.

By virtue of being open source, RISC-V won't vanish, no matter how many companies choose to adopt it as their ISA and fail.

Seems like, given enough time, one of those companies will just not die, and end up getting big.
There are worse things than dying. If I trusted humans not to immediately do all of them upon achieving the capability to do them, my opinion here might more resemble yours.
In my experience, some of them do. However I think that in general the larger the company, the less that is true. In a smaller company everyone is on the same team. In larger companies you always find there is someone who gets shat on because someone three levels up doesn't think of them as actual people.

I see it as like the corporate version of judging people by how they treat waiters or shop staff. You don't judge a company culture by how it treats its rare as unicorns tech staff, you judge it on how it treats the easily replaceable staff with low market pay rates. If it treats the latter like shit then the only reason it's treating you well is because they have to.
I wonder at which point this current hunt for (civilian) Russians only drives them into the arms of Putin. To me it feels petty and ultimately counterproductive trying to exclude every Russian from the world community.

If you seriously want to boycott "Russian" software, why don't you start with this Sergey Brin guy - sounds Russian to me /s
Companies have been tripping over themselves to hire from "marginalized" communities for years now. At this point it's a handicap. At my tiny startup people are overtly talking about not hiring any more "white guys". Which is offensively discriminatory.

Same for colleges by the way, more likely to accept and graduate minorities. In this blind push for equity, white men are being deliberately left behind.
Lack of leadership, organization, manpower, and intelligence.

This is the same reason that we are two years in the pandemic and still haven't evaluated repurposing many safe medications to reduce mortality. It will be very sad if we could have reduced global deaths by 25% using drugs that were sitting on the shelf the whole time.

I highly doubt that every single lawyer in the world went, saw the boilerplate, and said “yeah that’s not enforceable but just keep it in”.

We have had this or similar wording for decades now. It has been vetted by many thousands of lawyers at this point. I highly doubt it’s as unenforceable as you’re trying to paint it out to be.

That's the de facto standard for command line apps that ship with Windows itself.
I generally agree on all those points, there's a bunch of things I could critique, like shrinking the search bar behind an icon, or things I like such as the more concise breadcrumbs which make the hierarchy a bit clearer.

But overall I guess after thinking about what I did and didn't like about the design, nothing really stood out as a showstopper for me. I like the old design a lot more, but MDN has always been a reference and I dip into dozens of different references every week, getting used to design differences is par for the course. As long as they don't mess with the overall content hierarchy which is great as-is I'm not too impacted.

So my takeaway was if they invest the same energy into the content hierarchy on a page, I think that would add some value. Keep what they have, don't overstuff it, but just making it easier to see "you are here" and "here be dragons". Like on that example you linked there's a "warning" about tabindex that doesn't explain why you should never add one to a dialog - seems obvious to experienced frontend developers but it would leave juniors and people who might benefit most from such a warning scratching their heads or developing a cargo-cult mentality to certain things. I can envisage a content sweep of their warning / gotcha boxes would add more value than a design refresh.

Also generally since their content is constantly expanding, something that makes it easier to get your bearings in the existing content, adding more context cues etc, and quicker navigation between adjacent paradigms or some "maybe you meant this" suggestions that would be neat. I think that's what they were going for by elevating the "related content" on the left - but that's just showing a list of stuff on the same level as the current item. Why would I care about <summary> on a <dialog> page? If you use their search for "proxy" you might end up on a page talking about web proxies, or javascript proxy objects - disambiguation would be awesome for people who are trying to get their bearings.

(then again I usually just hit back, go to my google results, and pick the next page if it's not what I was looking for...)

Bravo. Now west shows their true values. Segregation that is. I hope BRICS will learn this lesson.
The obvious solution is to change one’s self such that other people aspire to be similar.

If our lives and cities appeal to people in other countries, they may adopt our technologies, urban designs, and social policies. Part of it is development. Part of it is marketing.
I have multiple years of experience in auto sales and I’m not familiar at all with lender fees ‘baked in’ to the price.

Moreover, state laws required all costs to be broken out in the contract, there was no legal way to attempt to hide additional costs.

I’ve personally watched many customers do exactly what you were contesting - take a loan, then pay it off early without penalty. Most lender had a 3-6 month wait on that, so they needed to make a few payments before paying it off in a lump sum.

But it’s not widely used, that’s the whole problem.

Say you created a business accepting exclusively cryptocurrencies. You need to ship an item? You need “dirty fiat”. Let’s say you’re only selling NFTs or services, your hosting provider wants paid in real currency. Food? Housing? Utilities? Fiat. Fiat. Fiat.

Unless it’s accepted for the entire supply chain of LIFE, you’re screwed.

I suppose that would be another solution, sure.
