A nice feature of Alpine Linux is that the package repository is a relatively straightforwardly-structured git repository containing build scripts for each package:

https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/

It's worth reading the contributor guide[1] before signing up and providing any fixes and improvements - and from there, hopefully it's a relatively familiar workflow for many developers.

Speaking as someone who has worked in the crypto space, I tend to agree. This play is about offering well-made shovels to the industry.

The regulatory hurdles of getting into or out of fiat from crypto make it nearly impossible for all but the biggest players due to Money Service Business laws in each of the 50 states let alone internationally.

As such this is a regulatory arbitrage play and one that will be welcomed by the industry as it is currently filled with extremely expensive options (Looking at you Prime Trust) and predatory actors.

Stripe can clean up here in the short term if their product offers fair and transparent pricing to industry as is their brand.

I do suspect they will stick around this time as the number of players has grown and the US government looks like it is finally ready to embrace the industry and bring some much needed regulatory clarity.

Hi Hamish -- how much of your success do you attribute to the secret benefits you offer certain writers to prevent them from leaving? And is it sustainable in the long run (or does that not really matter to you?)
You mean the Renault 5 or the Megane? I happen to like both. I've driven the Megane on two of the coolest tracks in the world and the spicy versions are a hoot and a half.

However, the Renault 5 Turbo 2, now that is a thing I desire: https://youtu.be/B2HjCrnr-NE
There is a slight ambiguity in 'last', which might mean either 'most recent' or 'final'.

The difference here is that while karpierz's last step is, at least for now, the final one in a process producing a strong, generalized, self-awarely-conscious theory-of-mind-holding intelligent agent, the evolution of DL systems has not yet done so.
I'm not sure you're qualified to be commenting on this. Physicists, electrical engineers, and electricians all do discovery, but not all of them, and when they do, in different capacities.

There's definitely a lot of ways that physicists and scientists in general don't make good engineers. But a physicist has a good shot at being a reasonable engineer, after getting over the fact that they don't actually know everything and rules of thumb and physical models have to be created taking into account the complex emergent behavior we see in reality.

Same thing for CS PhDs and software engineering. They should be set up to undertake these things well. Not being able to do so is a mark against them. They don't immediately understand the complex emergent behavior of modern computer systems but neither has any SWE.
I guess you're right that I'm less upset about pornography because I'm not a consumer of it. But let me give you my best attempt at a principled answer, too..

I'd say that porn producers have lots of places to go that will cater to them, and that will connect them to porn consumers. As I recall, reddit's r/gonewild is huge, and lots of producers are using it to pull people to their OnlyFans accounts. Someone who is "canceled" for porn at Substack could just go there, and they'd probably be better off because they'd be in a community of people who want to consume porn.

On the other hand, an anti-vax writer (or someone who was publishing accurate concerns about the covid vaccines and was labeled "anti-vax") couldn't just go get a job at Fox to continue their activities after Facebook banned them and their web host stopped hosting them, etc.

Bottom line, I think it's reasonable for a "free speech" platform to specialize in certain kinds of unpopular speech so that they don't have to fight every censor-happy asshole at once. One might say "we specialize in hosting porn and fighting Christian censors" and another might say "we specialize in hosting Trumpers and anti-vaxxers and fighting woke censors" and that's perfectly fine. Ideally, there would be enough such platforms in existence that a writer could choose the proper one for the kind of content they plan to create.
I wonder if instead of assuming that the only "upgrade" from C is straight to C++ with all of its attendant baggage, may be what's needed is C with traits/templates and strict macros.

In other words, extend C in the same direction Rust took, but while retaining 100% backwards compatibility. Just adding traits and hygienic macros would make C much safer and ergonomic, while compiling down to normal C.

Just a thought...
We do have strikethrough! It's the little S with the line through it in the editor bar (or Cmd+shft+X)

Good thought on subscripts.
I think it stands a better chance of keeping us OUT of a NATO conflict then starting one.. Violating a no-fly zone requires authorization, and hopefully thought..

Whereas, right now, we're simply waiting for a bomb to mistakenly land on the wrong side of a border. No thought, no intention, no authorization...just one of those things that happen during war. I think this is a much more likely outcome.
Buses and trains are far better shared vehicles.

If we spent half as much money on better public transit in that corridor as we do adding lanes and building this ridiculous toll system, we might have something functional enough that a lot more people would use it.
The West is “weaponizing everything” as you put it against Russia “as they see fit” in response to the actual aggression against another sovereign country using actual weapons.

There is also another alternative you forgot to add to the list that Russia could consider - don’t invade neighboring countries, don’t murder people. It seems to work fine for, I don’t know, let’s say Iceland - much smaller, much weaker country. Wonder why is that?
Vladimir Putin shows up in one of the Moscow's primary schools
After the welcoming ceremony there is some time for the students to ask the President a few questions

Little Sasha stands up and says:

I only have 2 questions:

1. Why did Russia take over the Crimea?

2. What are Russian soldiers doing in Ukraine?

Before Putin was able to say anything the bell suddenly rang, and all the students went for a break.

After the break, when everyone was back, a different student stood up and said:

Dear Mr President, I have only four questions:

1. Why did Russia take over the Crimea?

2. What are Russian soldiers doing in Ukraine?

3. Why did the bell rang 20 minutes early?

4. Where is Sasha?
I ran Alpine on my laptop during the last half of college. It's a great little distro if you don't mind occasionally compiling things.
I usually (mostly) use containers for dev, and deployment, which abstracts things a bit
This is an unequivocal good and should be applauded
There are development jobs where there is so much dysfunction, so many interruptions, meetings, slacks, whatever, you barely get any deep engineering work done. If there's no "real" work, you get assigned tickets that have been in Jira for 4 years and are now suddenly a priority, just so your scrum master can keep up appearances. Bullshit doesn't obey gravity: it flows up and down.

Look for a position in product management. Other than founders, almost every other "product person" I've worked with did very little.
I see this comment in so many forms across many channels. “Oh no, there is no truth anymore!” (Sorry if I sound a bit pedantic)

But that’s not truth either. While gaining a 20/20 truth picture is hard, it’s not impossible to get a picture that’s accurate enough.

Lots of information can be lock-stepped into a picture that gives enough clarity. A combination of experts, reports and documentation, high quality sources, context awareness, and people I know around the globe gives me a good enough picture.

Also the message that there is no such thing as truth is exactly what disinformation strategists want to amplify.

Yes it’s worrying, but not unsolvable.

This headline doesn’t make sense. Russia has more than $600B sitting in the same banks that control this debt.

Laugh out loud at the idea that the bank can say “you’re defaulting because i refuse to acknowledge a payment from your account”.
I fail to see the purpose of this. When are calls for violence ever meaningful? Surely, if one must express their anger and frustration they can do it in many other ways rather than calling for the head of CURRENT_EVIL_WRONGDOER.
Well I do fully believe that for most people their sense of self worth hinges on having responsibilities and a regular schedule, but that can mean being a mother, volunteering on a regular basis, being a part of your retirement community's bingo club, or whatever else.

But what is also true is that losing your job can be a precipitous plunge into mental illness, as your outside world that was regularly structured turns to chaos suddenly. And of course, if your external world becomes chaotic, your internal world is liable to be chaotic as well--'as above, so below' and all that.
> If you consider the NATO expansion over the last few decades around Russia, it was completely sensible for Russia to preemptively take aggressive action.

This is reprehensible
This should solidify in everyone's mind, that the push to censor speech, no matter what cause-of-the-week reason is given, is fundamentally about attaining power over a weapon that can be used when it suits you.
Quantum computers and quantum AI are the next architecture/paradigm revolution with that feel.

We know there’s some quantum accelerated AI work, eg by Microsoft — and we’ve seen increased quantum and photonic circuits. China has demonstrated light table and distributed quantum computing, so we know it “scales”.

But we’re not quite sure which of many approaches will get it from bench top to “working” — much less who will be dominant in a decade.

Quantum accelerated AI is that revolution in our time.
Thank you this is an interesting perspective. Substack today is definitely targeted at people who want a full stack thing and don't want to worry about coding one's own template etc.

As someone who does want to self host, which Substack services would be valuable to you? What do you feel like we could offer you?

that only sort of sometimes works. chrome uses some sort of AI to look at the text displayed in a way that could visually be construed as a label and use that to identify the field for autocomplete.

the only foolproof method i've found is to use contenteditable spans instead of input tags, which has it whole own set of problems.
We use alpine based images extensively where possible. Most popular language ecosystems and tools have an alpine option. Alpine as a base image is nice because it's nearly blank, but easy to customize unlike distroless. Recently one tool did drop Alpine, most based on it's reduced performance, and that was envoyproxy.
It’s often helpful to sand & polish cast iron skillets before seasoning them. You just have to take precautions so you don’t inhale the metal shavings. Here’s a good reference: https://youtu.be/2wHZ7hKpPUs

Also, the type of oil you use to season your cast iron cookware is important. You should use flaxseed, grapeseed or avocado oil. Do not use olive oil, because it has an extremely low smoke point. Canola and vegetable/soybean oils are unhealthy.
When did that happen? I bought a spool just over a year ago and the sales person didn't bat an eye. This was in The Netherlands, if we don't have the same law then maybe there's your answer?
Sure, but that equally applies to companies following the money when they de-platform somebody over public or internal outrage at being associated with or enriching them. The point is that Substack's market position as "place where you can tell your truth after you get cancelled" is inconsistent with the purported motivation of a higher, abstract ideal or value of free speech. It's consistent with wanting to make money, and it turns out that the stuff that might get you banned on twitter can make a lot of money elsewhere. When the ideal of free speech (can I post porn there?) clashes with the ideal of making money (what if corporate firewalls ban us and our emails go to spam?), the money is preferred. There is no reason to believe the content currently protected there today would remain protected if the financial motivation shifted.
Right, but when reading Haskell, one has to know this. It's critical.
Are there any plans to help writers with discovery? It seems the only way to to build an audience is to already have an audience of some sort. This is one of the things that I like about Medium. They will recommend articles based on interests and have great SEO.
Not only avoiding the cache miss. It's also avoiding an allocation. The non-intrusive list that the parent described means the list node requires one allocation, and the content another. Intrusive lists mean there's just one allocation required for the actual element - and hooking it into a list comes for free.

If the struct we want to insert is on the stack we don't even need a single allocation. That is for example be useful on wait nodes, where we put some waiter object on the stack, register it in a shared wait queue, and then wait until the object gets signalled => No allocation is required for any waiter.
On the other hand, if I had this technology and was sufficiently antisocial, I could use it to keep an 'interrogation subject' right on the edge of killing themselves for an extended period of time. I could use it to recruit soldiers for fatalistic operations. I could use it to kick out members of any operation whose moral compunction was detected to be causing them too much distress.
I thought it was interesting that an article that talks about the dangers of generalizing (aka standardizing) based on a few data points is, itself, generalizing based on a few data points.
That's great! Like you said, the scale can lie. You could be losing fat and gaining muscle mass. In that case, I'd say your next step is to make sure you're eating enough protein in addition to the right amount of calories so as to provide your body what it needs to build that muscle. I use MyFitnessPal to track my macros.

Fun ways to track your progress other than the scale include body measurements (with a measuring tape) and pictures! Or DEXA.
My understanding is that the new manufacturing techniques stop many people but usually not skilled technicians. It's component serialization, keeping schematics secret, and exclusive supply chains that are the real problem.
Perhaps the fact that there's a whole industry built around this instead of, you know, a couple of well-cooked solutions that everyone uses, implies that it's not possible and isn't going to be for the foreseeable future.
This seems like a very out of touch question. Bluetooth is ubiquitous. Flagship smartphones can't even listen to headphones without bluetooth. Smartwatches use bluetooth. Hell, my herbal vaporizer has a BLE connection for setting the temperature and checking battery.
Western media helped start a war with Irak based on fake weapons of mass destruction.

If people lost trust on Western medias, it's not because of Russians, it's because we are constantly producing propaganda as well. It's just different.
Wish I'd found this earlier. I'm trying to decide whether to build out my newsletter on Substack or move it to a platform with more accessible tech support since I've been trying to correct a typo in the URL for three weeks and no one responds to my tech support requests. This may end up being a deal breaker for me since I don't want an "Uber" type experience with my newsletter community

I would rather die standing up for my freedom so that me, my family, my children — you — can live in a free world with no warmongering dictators, than cower and live in fear, which the West is collectively doing.

So yes, it is not a good reason.

> "Poor people" already drive less than higher income people

Big fat "citation needed" here. I'm pretty well off, and drive very little, because I can afford to live in a place where I can walk to most of my destinations, and I have an office-type job that lets me work from home (and not drive to an office), as opposed to working somewhere that requires me to be in person, like a service job.

At least in the bay area, the "poor people" you are talking about get pushed out of the main population centers, and have to commute longer and longer to get to their jobs. If anything, I would say "poor people" drive much more. But I expect this is also a function of location, and other factors.
Most Russians support Putin.
It's definitely not optimal, I'll be the first to admit. With limited resources, it really comes down to sequencing. We could have sat on the iPhone app until the Android app was ready to launch, but shipping on one platform ASAP allows us to start learning what's working / what's not working and ultimately improve the product that goes out the door on day 1 on Android.

In the iOS app, we don't support in-app-purchases (subscribers can upgrade to paid via email/web) so there's no 30% take from Apple.
I think this is good example, that sanction can have undesired effect.

If the goal was to interrupt commerce - I guess it was interrupted for a day or two.

But now:

- Russia is pushed to double efforts to achieve independence from Western infrastructure

- Freedom advocates in the West now have very clear example, that even SSL certs can be used to silence (to cancel) anyone

- The next logical step for Russia (I think they are doing it already) is to build it's own SSL infrastructure. And probably DNS, too. West probably not going to trust it, so it will result that people in the West and in Russia & East will have limited means of communication (China scenario), which is net negative for both Russia, but negative for the West, too.
As it said in the article, the backstory of this move is that DigiCert revoked SSL certificates of some major Russian banks that come under the US sanctions, including their Central Bank (the Russian Fed). And all their sites, remote banking, 3-D secure pages went down for some time immediately. IMO it is a pretty understandable move for the Russians as a national security measure not to depend on some random American companies switching off Russian critical infrastructure.

Instead of enums, how about something similar to Scala's sealed trait syntax to tell the compiler that I'm actually doing a static dispatch?

> it's actually not a force, or even a field, in the same way as other forces and fields in physics

That's why (for anyone who's still reading this old thread) gravity is treated separately from the other three "fundamental" forces. We can explain pretty much everything in physics with the tools of Quantum Field Theory, even if there's still some gaps, but relativity is a whole other ballgame. Not only is it totally resistant to the mathematical techniques (quantum operations are linear, relativity is very much not, to name just one issue), but it's sort of unclear what QFT looks like without spacetime as a stage to act on. If the properties of spacetime emerge from some simpler, presumably more quantum, system, we have next to no idea how.
> but it does work all across europe, in every shop I went.

That’s because deep inside it’s secretly something like a mastercard maestro, no?

Why don’t you just get a “normal” card from N26 or similar?

I used to have one of these weird not-visa not-mastercard debit cards, trying to use it internationally was just asking for trouble.
I understand “cancel culture” and the impact of ESG in today’s capitalism but isn’t much of the American media industry a fundamental soft power asset? The Soviets had strict control over such access because of this.

Wouldn’t restricting access, specially for media that is mostly targeted to an already western friendly demographic, be more harmful than beneficial geopolitically wise?
I was an aggressive driver when I was younger. Always 5-10mph over the limit, pass at every opportunity, threshold braking at every stop, flooring the gas pulling away from each, generally ignoring warnings to slow down on curves, etc. I only ever got in one very minor accident (I hit a wooden sign that was so rotted it broke at the base and didn't even leave a mark on my bumper) but did have a few close calls (coming up to an exit with traffic too fast and fishtailing into a spinout on the interstate, thankfully not hitting anyone.)

Then I decided to gather data. My daily commute was about 15 minutes, maybe 10 miles of mostly 2-lane highway, some turns I had a stop sign, some didn't, so a bit a variation and reasonable opportunities for my aggressive driving. I did an experiment for a few days where I would drive either as aggressively as I normally did, even kicking it up a notch for science, or just chilling out and taking it easy; and timing how long the drive took me with either style.

After a few trials, I found that the super-aggressive driving did save time over the relaxed style; but it was less than 30 seconds, an amount that could easily be lost or gained by chance at the one stoplight on my drive. And as a bonus, with the relaxed style, when I arrived at my destination, I was actually more relaxed, with my pulse around 70 instead of 90.

I've stuck to a more relaxed style ever since. There have been more than a few times where someone who was in a hurry passed me over a double yellow line and flips my the bird for having the nerve to drive the speed limit and zooms off, and then a mile or two down the road I pull up right behind the exact same driver at a stoplight or other non-passable thing, and I feel that I've made the right choice.
I am mildly confused by your objection. It appears the proposal is to allow type annotations to appear as essentially no-op instructions. It isn’t adding a type system to JS.
