It's odd that you are even creating these arguments that prices don't increase.

Not everyone cares about Price/component cost/feature set/quality. The truth is that the actual real-world cost for what people view as the same item, in this case an iphone, has increased year-over-year.

> People don’t mind this because they are ultimately concerned about their overall quality-of-life.

Of course people mind paying more and more each year.

> nobody wants a new car with no air conditioning, minimal sound deadening, low horsepower, crude construction, and 5 digit odometer reliability.

Those portions essentially cost nothing in the overall build cost of a car. Every car has had A/C for years. An odometer, seriously? Again, the truth for buyers is that the cost of a car goes up year over year. If we set your hyperbole to the side, people do purchase entry-level vehicles when they are introduced to the market. Many times the demand outstrips the supply, because of price.

I've left the field of crypto/blockchain but worked on a few projects such as the Cardano blockchain. Now I'm focusing on effective altruism and food security. Anyway, I've been aware or involved with the crypto space since 2014 when I used to play a drinking game involving the Bitcoin ATM at Google Campus in London (guessing if the price would go up or down when it updated every minute or so, around the $300 mark if I remember correctly). In that time I've worked for several different startups in the space and not once have I worked with anyone who's trying to scam people. Yes scams exist. No, most projects are not scams. Bad ideas? Sure, maybe! Bad execution? Yep, that happens! Quickly obsolete tech? It's a fast moving scene! But when a startup is trying to build a product such as a financial account for developing countries without banking infrastructure to allow people to build a credit score, or trying to reduce international banking fees impact on remittence payments in countries like Nepal, or trying to allow people to have options in countries where their own national currency is going down the drain, I find it offensive that people on HackerNews who on the whole are smart well-experienced people default to this idea that it's all one big scam. This is in fact one of the reasons I left Crypto - because of relentless attacks on peoples character and how toxic it can be. I'm very happy if this style of conversation disappears from HN forever because 1) saying it's a scam doesn't change anyones opinions 2) the arguments have been repeated literally for years 3) it goes against HN T&Cs anyway.

I hope we're at the point where we can focus on individual projects (which may well be absolutely useless products) than judging the entire space as a whole.
Yes it does, but that ship has sadly sailed. Though, on reflection, if I was on the other side of the argument I'd probably be for it.
To be honest, I thought your refusal was probably well justified considering the disproportionate levels of credit card fraud involved in anything to do with crypto. I'd love to see your end of year statistics now...

"In Russia’s version of the war, Russians are liberators, Ukrainians are Nazis, and the West is full of mendacious hypocrites. "

No, no! This is not war, it is special military operation!. It is so special that Russian army has lost almost the same amount men in 10 days as they lost in Afghanistan in 10 years. It is a very special operation, it is the rebirth of Russian army (I am not joking, this is what they tell in TV).
This is an obvious but very powerful move by Stripe. Stripe is attempting to allow any business to become a place you can buy crypto, which will be really important to remove Coinbase and other CEXs as the only consumer-facing platforms where you can get into the ecosystem.

Of course, that just means replacing those CEXs with Stripe as the fully centralized service on the backend, and you can bet they'll be taking their cut! But anything that moves more money into crypto is good for the Web3 ecosystem. Which would, of course, only be a good thing if you considered growth of the Web3 ecosystem a good thing :)
I think the people that think that just haven't come across a situation where that doesn't work yet. I'd guess there are entire fields where it does work, e.g. crypto or compression.

I suppose it is inevitable but it could even present problems for businesses in the UK where their banks are allergic to payment platforms that accept cryptocurrency.

I thought they already had.
Putin meets with oligarchs, the richest people in the country have access and communicate with governments and have the ability to affect policy making.

Placing sanctions on people close to Putin and freezing their soccer team worth billions of dollars definitely has an impact.

Many car manufacturers are pulling out and not selling parts. We live in a globalized society and Russia was a part of it. Putin was betting on oil/natural gas money but that soon will be gone.
A lot of the challenge here AFAIK is that the process needs to be understood at the molecular level, where we measure time in picoseconds (10^-12), while this process takes something like 10^6 seconds. The disparity is an absolutely astronomical factor of 10^18.
That's the issue. Rust panics on division-by-zero, Rust panics on out-of-bounds, Rust panics on signed integer overflow in debug mode. Stack overflow can happen on every function call which is also panic. Too many implicit panic sources.

Well, regardless of how things should work, that's how they do work. I know some folks who've worked for politicians over the years and it's pretty transactional. For instance, it's fairly common for feedback from constituents to get prioritized based on voting history (among other things like political influence). If you reach out to an elected official, one of their staff will often check the voter rolls. If you're not registered to vote, or if you are and you haven't voted in a long time, don't expect your complaint to get much attention.
The MS blog post, and actual proposal covers this fairly well imho:

Typescript's type checking is slow and doesn't need to happen at runtime. Additionally, it moves failures to users rather than developers and makes it incredibly difficult to change type semantics later on.

Why should they be ashamed of themselves? We're witnessing in realtime in Ukraine that kinetic wars are possible in the developed world (something I personally thought was going out of vogue with countries leaning much more heavily on cyber & economic weapons) and the U.S. is the country I prefer to have overmatch compared to anyone else and uphold the fundamental post WWII global order. Would I rather this all wasn't necessary? Absolutely, but the world is what it is and we have to live in it.
You're not wrong that they absolutely have the right to choose what results to display. Just like Twitter has the right to choose what content appears on their platform, and same with YouTube, etc. But my opposition is not from a legal standpoint, it is from a moral standpoint. I just think censorship and cancellation is wrong and immoral, even if it is legally allowed. I think it is immoral for some business executive to make sweeping decisions about what the commoners are / aren't allowed to see - it opens the door to far more dystopian control of our society.
The Iron Curtain cut through the heart of Europe, dividing east from west. Curtain 2.0 looks to be forming only around Russia, walling it off from all of Europe. Things will be so much worse for people on the inside this time. It will be like Soviet Russia without the Warsaw Pact to support it. It is one thing to be without Twitter and Hollywood movies, but can Russia feed itself? Can any country? Modern industrial agriculture just assumes parts and equipment can flow easily across borders. How soon before that too is locked behind sanctions?
If it is all out war, do they care?

As I was writing APIs one day at work, I realized that I wasn't too sure whether those APIs were well covered(in terms of test-cases). So I started looking for simple GUI tools that can be used by teams to evaluate their APIs

And in this process I found 3 categories of tools:

1. Penetration-as-a-service vendors
I wasn't too keen on black-box testing techniques as they come late into the development life-cycle and don't offer much transparency with respect to tests

2. Open-source API fuzzers
There are quiet a few robust tools out there. But again these require some time and effort to setup and get going.

3. Paid tools
I found a bunch of platforms that run 100s of tests but were expensive.

So I set forth to writing one myself. And as part of my research found out that OpenAPI specification is a good starting point at describing APIs since it's an industry standard and that lot of tooling is available around it.

I took the same approach as the other paid and free/open-source tools to finding API flaws.

However, I have attempted the following:

1. To keep the UI simple (easy to navigate)
2. Maintain OpenAPI Spec validation errors at a minimal so that developers can quickly get documentation out of their way

Hopefully with this attempt, finding Schema validation errors is simple. Here's the process:

1. Upload a spec or Postman Collection or start with a petstore template
3. Fix validation errors and get to the `RUN_API` status
Go the Run Tab, select API Endpoint URL and hit Run to find schema validation errors

Although it's still work in progress, I would love for you guys to check it out and share feedback.

News are that we'll have replace 2/3 of Russian gas from somebody else by the end of the year [1]. It's going to be a rougher transition if we have to replace all of it but it's worth it. Same with wheat and oil. Hard times for a while but better than having to bow to Mr Putin. And this is only money, not bombs like in Ukraine.

By the way, the countries we'll be buying from are not much nicer than Putin's Russia (some of them maybe even less so) but at least they are smaller and hopefully more manageable. The next one to cut ties with should be China but that's a giant rope to undo.

I'm on the opposite side of this with my wife. She can go 5-6 hours after waking up without food. I can... but it feels miserable and like my brain doesn't really start working until I eat.

On the flipside, I can eat my last meal of the day and go 7-8 hours without food until I sleep. She can't, though; she'll get severe hunger pangs or be light-headed.

So it seems like I should have breakfast + lunch, while she should have lunch + dinner. But being out of sync like that is unbelievably annoying in a relationship where you share / eat the same foods.

> Confronted with legacy / spaghetti code, developers with less experience will bring lint, code style, some layers and ... types, as a way to solve the problem of long term maintainability.

> But unfortunately it does not bring that much value.

If you mean adding these things post-hoc, yes the value is limited. If you start with types, and you embrace them as a design and testing tool, they can literally change the kind of code you write in the first place.

People talk about how convoluted TS types are, but the reality is that’s because they’re describing convoluted JS. TS-first code tends to be a great deal more straightforward, because you define the interface before implementing it.

In other words, if you start out with static types and think about them first, you’ve likely already got a good architecture and test suite.

For businesses in times of gold-based commerce, reliable bank notes were greatly welcome.

In short more than half of all the russian operated airliners are leased from foreign companies. These leases are rummored to have stipulations that in case of a sanction the leased aircraft needs to be returned. It was already speculated that the Russian state won’t be letting that to happen.
How to participate in crypto? Just head to a privately owned exchange that might be traded at a stock exchange! Alternatively use a startup service that in turn relies on a privately owned backend that might as well go public at any point.
Trade is two-sided and every participant is richer as a result. So, if trade doesn't happen, both sides become poorer as a result.

In my experience, the vast majority of HOV/carpool lanes are single lanes, although some stretches like the 110 and the 91 are doubled up and are a much better experience. It's hard to believe the 405, of all places, is a single HOV lane and it bunches up pretty much continuously.

Although, on the 91, I don't know that it uses transponder settings since there's a dedicated "3+" lane when you approach reading areas, which are situated right in front of CHP buildings (so they can see if you're really 3+?)

I thought Vampire is resolution-based? Maybe the SAT/SMT-based one is more recent?

One reason I think that theorem provers are more important than SAT solvers is that SLD-Resolution at least can be efficiently implemented.

Also, Resolution can be used for induction, from examples and a background theory. That's a relatively recent result and you won't find a very clear account of it in the literature, but for instance, see here some early work:

Meta-Interpretive Learning of Higher-Order Dyadic Datalog: Predicate Invention Revisited

https://www.ijcai.org/Proceedings/13/Papers/231.pdf

You have to unpick it from the language used but "meta-interpretive learning" means that it's based on a Prolog meta-interpreter, so an implementation of SLD(NF)-Resolution. And those "metarules" are really second-order definite clauses. The approach is really higher-order SLD-Resolution that turns out to be inductive, rather than deductive.

But what you say about learning from "mistakes" reminded me of a rival approach, "Learning from Failures":

Learning programs by learning from failures

http://andrewcropper.com/pubs/popper.pdf

Which is, incidentally, implemented by means of SAT solvers (via ASP, ultimately). I'm more of a fan of the meta-interpretive approach (I study it), but I think the Popper paper might interest you, judging from your comment.

So what? Do you think what's happening in Ukraine is bad right now? Do you think we shouldn't send them anti-aircraft weapons, drones, planes, whatever? There are bad people in the world who take advantage of those without the means to defend themselves, and I would much rather that America be able to defend itself (or her allies) than live under the thumb of whatever dictator had better weapons and the will to use them.
or more protection, depending on your perspective. I'd think russians wanting to interface with US services right now would find crypto offers more protection than fiat.

Further, I know a few small businesses that have had large sums of money locked up by services like paypal without any communication. Crypto also provides far more protection from issues like that.

I’ve been using flux and the like for a few years now roughly. Personally, I’ve never had a problem with eye strain/ fatigue, or falling asleep. I just figured ‘Why not? It can’t hurt.” I often wonder though is it really having any effect? I can’t tell any perceivable difference. I know many others claim otherwise, but that’s just my experience.

The science is not really clear, it’s definitely controversial. Truthfully, I suspect the amount of blue light from our screens is actually much more negligible that we tend to estimate.

I think it’s more likely the placebo effect is in play here.
