Money laundering is useful but that doesn't mean it's good. A Ponzi scheme can generate wealth but it can't generate value. Wealth without value is maybe not wasteful, but it is harmful.

Bitcoin alone uses as much power as a medium-sized nation. The increased power usage has caused old fossil-fuel power plants to come back online.
I suppose bots can still be reported with this as spam

When you report a tweet today, twitter only allows to report for these categories: https://imgur.com/a/uoS3dZe

I'm not sure what category would apply to 'manipulated accounts' and how you would establish that. Objectively false information could probably be reported as 'misleading' I suppose? I'd be open to facilitating that if there's significant interest - might need to add a new button for that category.

WTF?
There are some pretty obvious drawbacks to this that you seem to be deliberately ignoring.

For example, in cases where this competitive advantage is gained through means that cause what a reasonable person would considered an excess of human suffering and the relevant US laws prevent the actions that gain that competitive advantage in exchange for human suffering, does it make sense to submit that this human suffering is just a fact of life or would it be better to attempt to eliminate that suffering?
> Emotions are coordination systems designed to refocus your entire cognitive architecture towards a specific task

This is a really powerful way of looking at emotion. Of course emotion serves an evolutionary purpose, but it's such a basic part of our lived experience that it's hard to view it critically like that.
You will need some error checking though. There is no trade off between accuracy and time here. Someone will get a 1600 and then if your team misses one you lose. Maybe each queued question goes to 3 people and unless all agree it goes to everyone's queue for vote.
Russia is run by mobsters who operate using fear and intimidation. Fortunately, there is an even bigger bully just hanging out off the coasts of Russia ready to hit hard if provoked. The world wouldn't end, but the Russian regime would.
What's the main allure for you?
It is temporary. And if small software firm goes out of business - employees and the owner can always find another job. On a grand scale of things it is no biggie. In the end everyone will have food on the table and shelter, and the economy will prosper either way.
I mean, depends on what you mean by "100% safe". You can synchronously wait from a thread that's not in the thread pool executing the tasks. Obviously that's not sufficient for safety, but it should be illustrative that safety is possible. There are also some issues with using .Wait or .Result but those can be solved.
Just solve this one, and you will love percentages forever:

Is x% of y the same as y% of x?
I escaped to St Martin during the lockdowns. Still damaged from hurricane but rebuilding. French side best side, best food, beaches and people, and extremely affordable. Plus a busy airport with lots of flights because it's where the billionaires park before hopping on their yacht to St Barth (I saw roman abramovich's plane on the tarmac)
with the way research is going i'd expect to find it's something else in conjunction with D3 that causes that, and not merely D3. like D3 and a high sodium diet, or D3 and <some local thing>.

as mentioned though, i only think that 500-1000iu is not enough for most people. I'm not a doctor though, but it is one avenue of alleviating SAD as well as lethargy and stuff that most people vape/smoke/caffeinate to deal with.
I agree with this, I keep eyeing this keyboard (long-term ergodox user) and wanting to like it.

Provisionally, I would say that adding three more keys on each side, under ./- on the right one, would make this a keyboard I would try and use.

I fear even then that the ergonomics aren't really there, the one downside of the ergodox (which is why the Moonlander thumb cluster looks as it does) is that small buttons are hard to hit with the thumb, which is articulated sideways to a keyboard. Easy to sweep but difficult to select between two small targets, I'd expect to tap two keys often without a lot of practice.

- The Five Dysfunctions of a Team

Was a really helpful and great book to help put in words some of the challenges I faced on a previous team (while I had an absent manager).
Quick story - I used to talk to a guy that worked in my building quite a lot about the food we ate. He told me that growing up he absolutely hated food. When he went to university his housemates decided to go to a Michelin starred restaurant and invited him. After a lot of turning them down (because "what's the point, food is grossly overpriced, I don't care for it," etc etc), he finally agreed. He said "coming home that night I realised my mother was a terrible, terrible, terrible cook." From then on it was like a whole new world opened up to him...

I always loved that. A) it's funny how our past experiences can completely (and sometimes incorrectly) shape our perceptions of the now. B) food can be such a wonderful thing - the smallest thing can make you so absolutely happy. And when someone just nails it (simple or not!), it really is quite the experience.
You should honestly take this post down. You've literally revealed how to gain access to their API keys, mentioned that it can be used to devestate the company and commit fraud, then just added a message in parentheses asking the reader not to do it.

This is a shitty article that isn't humorous at all. It would've been funny if you had reported it, they had fixed and you'd posted the article after. This reads like an engineer trying to get an ego boost and a pat on the back.
Michelin starred restaurants place a lot of emphasis on ensuring YOU enjoy your meal. Professional service does not judge, and is not snooty the way movies depict.

I just ate at SAGA in NYC in January; the servers were amazingly knowledgeable, wonderfully approachable, and ours wore a jumpsuit and sneakers. Not snooty, but ask about the wine and they'll happily share a wealth of information about the region it's from.

If you leave a restaurant feeling worse because of a servers behavior then it's their fault, not yours.
Fork mixes so poorly with multithreaded code that a lot of modern languages that are built from the beginning with threads of one sort or another in mind, like Go, simply won't let you do it. There is no binding to fork in the standard library.

I think you could bash it together yourself with raw syscalls, because that can't really be stopped once you have a syscall interface, but basically the Go runtime is built around assuming it won't be forked. I have no idea what would happen to even a "single threaded" Go program if you forked it, and I have no intention of finding out. The lowest level option given in the syscall package is ForkExec: https://pkg.go.dev/syscall#ForkExec And this is a package that will, if you want, create new event loops outside of the Go runtime's control, set up network connections outside of the runtime's control, and go behind the runtime's back in a variety of other ways... but not this one. If you want this, you'll be looking up numbers yourself and using the raw Syscall or RawSyscall functions.
I actually find many high end restaurants to be worth the money.

It averages about 150 per person, but often there can be as many as 10 courses.

If one thought about how much each individual course cost, about 10 bucks on average, it is already a good deal (some dishes are caviar, foie gras, lobster…). Add to that you’re sitting there spending a nice 3 hours with someone special and enjoying a story told through the taste buds.

Most of the times it is worth the money.
I have a mere feeling that ubiquitous internet is rendering some of the important factor of war mongering moot. There's less delay, no week long lag in which you can enrage and enroll young people to go die for some imaginary cause. And as spectators too, I see stuff that I could not see even in TV days.. invaded people talking with lost invaders. The failures. The moronic jokes of troops during idle time. The wait.. the absurd nothingness. It just feels like waste.. an absolute void.

There's still a fair amount of BS (both camps are painting their own view) but the feverish theatrics are somehow dying.
Looks great! I wonder if it would be possible to import data from Goodreads; many people use Goodreads to keep track of what they've read, and what they're planning on reading. They wouldn't want to lose that information by switching.

Giving authors tools for self-promotion is also a big deal -- and something many authors actively engage in with Goodreads.

One more thing, that should be higher priority: The ability to add books to the database. There's nothing more frustrating than wanting to add a book to a shelf, and not being able to! (Maybe it's already an option? If so, it's not easy to find.)
In one sense, yes. In another, though, most great artistic works draw inspiration from other earlier works, and so are arguably not a "creation" by a single human; more like an evolution, a synthesis, a derivation, a continuation...

Would Shakespeare have written Romeo and Juliet if there hadn't previously been Pyramus and Thisbe, or many other sources?

I am excellent at arithmetic (mental math) and can do "beat the calculator" party tricks.

I fall flat on my face with actual math (algebra onwards).

Thankfully, despite the teachings, the engineering I do is heavier on mental math skills. Anything more advanced and we use tools to do it.
Tech stuff? This japanese developer that has been regularly updating his stuff for years and years. Simple. Efficient. Runs on anything. Although not super well known:

https://shirouzu.jp/

Non tech stuff? The standard design nail clipper is something probably most of take for granted. Invented by David Gestetner and used all over the world. I feel like this is the kind of thing that people might end up missing in a real dystopian mad max style world (assuming they become hard to come by). If I have to use a toe knife like the great Frank Reynolds I will not be pleased.
We've been thinking about that, and decided to err on the side of too lax than too stringent for exactly this reason. Wires to Ukrainian bank would be strong evidence. Red Cross paperwork or refugee visa also seems good enough. Honestly, we're considering simply a signed affidavit (notary paid for by us).
posix_spawn also outperforms fork on Linux under more recent glibc and musl, which can use vfork under the hood. https://twitter.com/ridiculous_fish/status/12328893907639336...

This relates to an interpretation of QM that I have not personally found much reading material on, the idea that wavefunction collapse is actually just entanglement; that is to say that as soon as a system in a superposition interacts with the outside universe, the outside universe becomes entangled with the system, thus putting the entire universe into a superposition where both outcomes are observed.
From a link in the article:

Objections were raised at the time about the potential disruption of pre-existing patterns of travel of both passengers and merchandise in part over Canadian rail lines.

To address those objections, a proviso was added to the restated coastwise law – then the “first proviso” – which stated that the coastwise restriction did not apply to transportation “over through routes heretofore or hereafter recognized by the Interstate Commerce Commission for which routes rate tariffs have been or shall hereafter be filed with said commission when such routes are in part over Canadian rail lines . . .” – and “excluding Alaska.”

In 1935 this proviso was interpreted by the U.S. Supreme Court which wrote that “its evident purpose was to avoid disturbance of established routes, recognized by the Interstate Commerce Commission as in the public interest, between Northwestern and Eastern states through the lake ports.”

End quote.

The TLDR seems to be that forcing it for rail would have caused too many disturbances to how the rail was operating at the time.

You could guess how many piano tuners there are. Why is a guess at piano owners expected to be any more accurate?

Most of my family is military (multiple generations), and all but one of them have purple hearts.

I have kids who will (relatively) shortly be military aged, and have been through some really shitty life experiences that have surprising corollaries to this situation.

I personally am 'not of fighting age', but know that despite how wise it would be personally, I would have to take up arms in this situation.

I hate war. My family does too. But what you are describing (and the individual incentives), while 100% true, with a strong and hungry adversary lead to a situation where the society overall will be conquered, and everyone's individual situation will be worse.

Sometimes far, far worse. It's the short term safe option that feeds into the long term disaster.

Overlooking corruption because confronting it is too painful often leads to the same outcome - suffocating corruption everywhere.

That it is possible for some to live in those situations doesn't take away from what is truly being lost.

Because it almost never stops at whatever border they thought crossing would keep them safe. Giving in means they'll take more, and more, and more - and be stronger each time they do.

The kind of hunger this type of diseased mind and government has can never be sated. Only stopped.

Good fences make good neighbors, because firm boundaries that are firmly defended keeps everyone honest and normal people from turning into opportunists and predators.

Something that happens surprisingly easy for a very large portion of the population when enabled.

If no one is going to stand and protect what is theirs when something like that happens, they won't have it for very long. And when a lot of people in a society won't do that, that society won't last for long.

Zelensky knows better than most what he is dealing with - his grandfathers siblings were murdered in WW2 by the Nazis for being Jewish. But Ukraine overall has long experience being abused by Russia, especially USSR Russia.

He's putting his ass on the line and leading the way he is, because he truly knows the stakes and what he is dealing with, and has the courage to face it, and the love for himself and the people to do what needs to be done to keep them truly safe.

If you research the Holodomor, understand the impact that the years behind the iron curtain had on eastern Europe, and the crushing of the East German (and many other countries) spirit and it's long term consequences, you might better understand the stakes.

If you think Putin is going to be better than Stalin and the rest, that is very, very unlikely.

And if you think these refugees are going to be safe one border over - I appreciate the optimism. For those staring something like this in the face, understand, but appreciate what they're really facing.
It's insanely expensive
I feel no shame sifting through non-fiction books. There is nothing wrong with not reading cover to cover. I tend to skip chapters or long anecdotes for concepts I have already absorbed, and I sometimes also apply speed reading principles (usually the first and last sentence of a paragraph are most significant, and the body of the paragraph provides supporting evidence).

We don't owe any book our time. I am very selective about what I choose to expose myself to, and I gravitate toward only novel information. I'll slow down when I don't understand something, and speed up 5x or entirely skip the fluff/fodder or non-new info.
This mistake is so interesting to me. Here's a great explanation of what's probably happening: https://youtu.be/6egeUxIEQnM

tl;dr: mentally we take off "millions" as a unit, do the calculation, then add "millions" back on. This works for addition, subtraction, and inequality but fails for multiplication and division.

> Probably the most innovative and interesting one I've tried is Gaggan, which has since closed but had 2 stars and a ranking as Asia's #1 restaurant, doing a 25-course experimental take on Indian cuisine in Bangkok.

Gaggan Anand opened another restaurant called "Gaggan Anand". Smaller, more experimental and without his old business partners. https://gaggananand.com/
Do people actually do that? I never bothered and made up my own method instead.

10x is trivial. 9x is 10x - x, which is also trivial. 5x is also trivial because it's 10x / 2. For the rest I just memorized whatever stuck the easiest and calculate the rest. For example, 7*4 is not automatic for me but it becomes 7*2*2 which is easy.
There's a convincing chain of evidence that the retroreflectors were placed by humans, but while I can probably verify there are good reflectors there now, I can't verify there weren't good reflectors there before the mission. I didn't have access to lasers back then, when they were quite expensive and I wasn't alive.
I did a fresh install, but Lenovo's management software has been notoriously bloatware-ish, so I was apprehensive to keep it on my system. I was never really claiming for it to be a fair comparison either, even if this thing somehow ran hotter on Linux I'd probably wouldn't use Windows anyways.

The machine can definitely run pretty hot if you crank the performance profiles though, that's for sure. I've managed to hit 70c while playing music/running CPU intensive games on an external monitor, and I definitely think you could push it further with more CPU twiddling. For regular use though, a hearty underclock still renders the device usable with low temps and a good amount of battery life extension.
Yeah, I normally cannot sleep on planes, best I can do is take a sleep aid like Zyquil and end up in this limbo state between being awake and asleep, I'm also tall so experience the same comfort issues in economy seats.

Going to try the tips above for sure

The way I see it is that a real sweatshop would never write they're cracking the whip. They'll use more neutral positive wording. So for me it's a signal that they actually treat their employees well.

I thought green threads share memory but Erlang processes do NOT share memory, which is what makes Erlang so unique.

Did Erlang create a so called “green process”? If so, why can’t this model be implemented in the kernel?
Excellent thread, thanks! Elasticsearch fits the criteria, I think.
It is just hard for me to believe the Russian economy can collapse in 2022 without causing a global financial contagion. We are probably already beyond the 1998 Russian financial crisis and that was in a far less interconnected global economy.

The global financial system is interconnected in unknowable ways. It is far too high dimension to reason about or model in any meaningful way. Especially the higher order effects of these decisions.

I would just be shocked that what Russia is planning to do will stabilize anything.

I just don't know if blindly pulling every financial lever available is the right move here given the fragility of the global economy after 2 years of COVID.
That's why is always amazes me when employees show loyalty to the company without understanding that company is just a business. And their loyalty is a one-way street.
Random question - Did goodreads ever make money through Amazon's affiliate program? (Before Amazon acquired them). If so, how does the site not break affiliate partners terms of service? It could effectively list every single book product on it's site and slap an affilate link on there. The ref link exists now, but a unsure how that gets rolled into current amazon metrics/accounting.
What are you using for the server resource provisioning for your hosted service? Firecracker on KVM? Current services like AWS Fargate/Lightsail containers/Google Cloud run are not competitive pricing wise for dynamic container spawning at scale unless you provision ahead of time. For this sort of services, your managed solution needs to be competitive with e.g. raw compute providers like DigitalOcean and Hetzner.
The v6 XLT is priced the same as the base Lightning (Pro).
Beware of logical sounding narratives in general. They almost always miss a variable or four.
My wife and I went to a Michelin star restaurant to celebrate our engagement. That the food was good was expected but the whole experience was just amazing. I think service and attention to detail and caring about the customer really makes the whole experience just so different. When they found out that we just got engaged, they printed out a new menu with all the dishes but also with "Congratulations" at the top. My fiancee/wife ordered a wine pairing but I skipped it because I'm a total lightweight and I was the driver. My wife would hand me her glass just to try a sip. When they noticed that they just brought out another glass for me each time they pour her from a new bottle and would pour me a small sip as well. We didn't have to ask and they didn't try to charge us for another wine pairing. The whole experience was just delightful.

Highly recommend Single Thread in Healdsburg if you do decide to go to one. Yes I did pick it partly because of the name and I'm a software engineer.
How many wars involve the possibility of WW3 or nuclear engagements? This ones a bit different.
I use a Moonlander. You can program the LEDs to not turn on. I have several keys which I don't use, and which just have "black" as an LED color.

I love the Moonlander.
In another comment, I observe how Go doesn't even have a binding to fork.

Erlang is another example of that. There is no standard library binding to the fork function. If someone were to bash one into a NIF, I have no idea what would happen to the resulting processes, but there's no good that can come of it. (To use Star Trek, think less good and evil Kirk and more "What we got back, didn't live long... fortunately.") Despite the terminology, all Erlang processes are green threads in a single OS process.
Until you look at the powertrain and realize it has been simplified by orders of magnitude.
Seems like there are a good amount of two person writer teams though (in other mediums as well such as screenwriting). But teams of say 5 do not seem to be writing many novels.

Could be down to marketing - we like the idea of an "auteur" with a unique voice when we read a novel. Or it could be that having a consistent "voice" (or writing style I suppose) is a feature most people enjoy having in a novel.
Bug bounties (or zero-day sales) are an expression of that persuasion.

If you’re in the Boston area, I recommend Tasting Counter in Somerville. No Michelin star as far as I’m aware, but a similar experience in that there are several small plates with flavors and textures I’ve not had elsewhere.
