Yep ... and they (should) contain signed timestamps from three weeks ago ... so you ignore them.

The thing with GPS is that it is also a time source, so you'd need a secondary source for your time to confirm that you are not off by three weeks.
The problem is that you need to link what's checked at the door with the online trail. If you only allowed people holding the band's CD to enter, that'd definitely work but it's just turning a different physical object into the ticket.

You could try to have a trusted third party verify ID and only allow registered accounts to participate in the resale market (Ticketmaster sells this service) but at that point the blockchain is, as usual, not adding anything other than overhead because the trust depends on that third-party and the venue's staff checking ID at the door (otherwise you'd find people on Craigslist paying people to register, get their ID checked, and letting the scalpers use their account).
I would want them to at least go to the Rust Foundation Grants Program [0] or perhaps the Mozilla Foundation grants program [1].

This isn't minor, Wikimedia [2] is also asking the same thing of their project and they shouldn't use or endorse these crypto tokens, same thing as Tor.

My advisor during my PhD told me "if I catch you getting As in your courses, I'm going to take you to task for it 'cos it means you're wasting your time not doing your research".
Better question:

- 200 lines of statically typed, pure functional code with high test coverage

- 20 lines of code with I/O, parallelism, mutable state and/or interacting with external APIs

I find it way less cognitively draining to review a big chunk of blue ocean code with good patterns, than even small amounts of code which requires me to maintain any kind of state in my head, or try to think about the consequences of how this change interacts with the broader system. I'd say that some kinds of code are easily 10x more cognitively draining than others.
I know this, and I suspect the person you replied to also knows this, but I have never in my career as a programmer found anyone whose review I needed, who would have been comfortable doing this without my help.

I haven't always been working with "best and brightest" although that's not a dig, as the people I'm working with now are probably in the top 0.001% of Git users, nobody who does not work on Git as a discipline in and of itself can live up to this standard.
Writeup ignores the nuances of mental health - there is a gradient between "I am definitely an imposter" and "I have imposter sydrome, these thoughts are not real". In between is a miasma of self-doubt and anxiety. And it can change depending on the time and the situation.

Number of participants isn't really the best gauge when we're talking about stadia.

> The idea of a public ledger, where any public record can be kept without the need of a central authority certainly has value.

Based on what we've learned over the past few years, I'm not sure I believe that any more.

Without a central authority, there's no way to be confident that anything is "true". Partly because it's impossible to correct mistakes.

So you get NFTs of stolen art, because there's no authority to verify it.

You get ideas to "put real estate deeds on the blockchain" with no answer to the question "what if someone loses their private key?"

The only information that can reliably be handheld by such a blockchain is information that entirely exists within that blockchain - so account balances, but effectively nothing else.
Not letting someone die of exposure or crime is not supporting or encouraging his activities.

> Why would we be humane to someone who fundamentally doesn't respect others' rights?

This is a deeply dispiriting and reactionary way to look at the world. You do it because humane treatment is an end in itself, not a reward we give people for being “good.” It’s not earned, it’s due.

Edit: And, to be absolutely clear: there’s no world in which pointlessly punishing Andre gets what you what you want. Giving caffeine to a drunk doesn’t make them less drunk; it turns them into a wide awake drunk. Punishing someone with homelessness and exposure doesn’t make them into less of a petty criminal; it turns them into a more desperate and jaded one.

The interesting thing is this ship is only 2 years old, so it should have the advantage of some of the better navigational equipment available. I'm also not a mariner, but I would expect that the newest ships in the fleet would be the choice postings. Considering how expensive these vessels are, I would also expect they would want the most experienced sailors they can get.

It does appear that basketball is very popular outside western Europe though, so I learned something today! It makes sense, I do enjoy basketball myself and think that a lot of sports in Europe persist on the weight of tradition moreso than their fun factor.
>...then you are not an imposter!

Imposter syndrome is not about reasoned self-assessment, it is specifically and pretty much by definition an irrational belief held by someone despite clear evidence to the contrary. As such, this does not mean it isn't a real thing, or that as the article's author claims it is some sort of humble brag or other form of self promotion.

Like any irrational belief, simply telling the person it's irrational or providing evidence they are undoubtedly already aware of is not a cure all for this state of mind. In this, it's more like OCD. (and in fact imposter syndrome often coexists with forms of mental health issues) Telling an OCD person who just checked the doorknob for the 3rd time that it's locked, they don't need to check a 4th, they know & remember checking already... yeah, that doesn't work.

Of course then there's the issue of just how irrational aspects of imposter syndrome actually are. Often it's associated with the feeling that it was random chance or luck that landed someone where they are in life. Which is true! Wherever you are in life, it took countless minor and major events over which you had no control to get you where you are: Perhaps a friend happens to know someone where you're applying for a job and puts in a good word, putting you ahead of plenty of other candidates qualified for the job. Where you sit in a meeting one day ends up forging a fruitful professional friendship with the person next to you. You decide to check in on an old colleague on LinkedIn when you haven't bothered to login there for a year and see a job opportunity...

So why shouldn't someone feel that their place in life was the result of many random chance encounters or small choices or being in the right place at the right time? It's true! The problem enters into things only when a person focusses on those facts to the exclusion of all others and clings irrationally to the belief that those were the only factors. That getting a job with the help of a friend's recommendation didn't also mean that they were qualified for it anyway. That they might have developed a fruitful professional relationship with almost anyone they sat next to in the meeting given a few minutes of conversation. And so on.

Yes, people will find plenty of ways to humble brag and I'm sure this is one of them. But someone who automatically thinks anyone expressing this sentiment is just some variety of self-promoting braggart says more about their own toxic cynicism than their insight into the mindset and behavior of others.
Something Nix seriously needs is a searchable index of people's nix configs. When I attempted to use it, I had tabs open for around 10 configs that I was cross referencing but I can't find that list of configs anymore and I have more obscure packages I'm trying to figure out how to use and don't want to manually search.

This is on top of a GUI (syncs with git repos, at minimum about:config like with the documentation inline and ability to edit free-form entries), a Nix-style installer (pulls your config from a git host, inline machine profile editor, formatting help and saves formatting to repo), maybe some languages improvements, etc

> Plenty of high prestige world cities like Tokyo or London or Paris aren't known for their pro sports teams.

Not disagreeing with your overall argument, but London is the home of several Premier League clubs, with Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham having global followings.

Paris has PSG, which is infamous for spending seemingly limitless money to bring in superstars like Messi, Neymar, Mbappe and others. Their ownership by a Qatari sovereign wealth fund is the subject of constant conversation among those who follow football.

Tokyo I will grant you. They have the baseball Tokyo Giants, but I don't think they are closely followed outside of Japan.

That can't be all that expensive, considering the Ali Baba guys can sell a corresponding part for ten bucks.

Yup, and I pay that cost by blocking the source of 98% of them.

Thanks, clearly you know me well /s. And honestly, again, I don't feel that I even NEED a rational basis. It's my system, I'll block whomever I feel like blocking for whatever reason I want, thanks. If you want to deride me by calling into question my motives, you can do that too for whatever reason YOU want to, but that's on you.
Weird quirks of language (English and others) usually have interesting histories too.
Right, thanks for pointing this out. I forgot to mention the problems of scale. My answer to this would be that democracy shall be fixed on the smaller scale first (municipality, city etc) where people can feel the effects immediately (e.g. traffic jams, pollution, parking spaces, bueraucracy etc). Then hopefully people will get a taste of real democracy and will start choosing their leaders more carefully.

I've heard it discussed quite seriously in an Economics 101 lecture (can't remember which. It was on a "Great Courses" audiobook). It was discussed in the same category of economics problems as reducing wasteful government spending, because fighting government waste can itself be costly, and oftentimes it can cost more in administration overhead to reduce government waste than the government waste itself would actually amount to if you didn't fight it and just let it happen. It seems to me like a quite coherent mental model for thinking about certain things.

The banking example was a bit muddled because it mixed the necessity of deletion with the method of deletion.

Wherever possible a business should delete relational data upon request. However, relational data is special because it cannot be effectively deleted by overriding user data with random values as Confluence seems to do.

Even if banks were allowed to delete customer data, they would face the same problem as social or booking services in that their relational data must be truly 'removed' rather than just overridden.

Centaur, with their Winchip design, and Cyrix both got bought by VIA. VIA did have a good run, but their custom CPU designs kind of fizzled out before they re-sold Centaur to Intel.

As far as I am aware, Vortex86 CPUs are still in production, unlike VIA's.

I am not a big fan of alt-coins, but I'm not sure I would dare call ZCash a "Crypto token scam project".

A scam in my book has one or more of the following properties:

- pre-mined (a part) off all tokes (like ETH ~70%) [1]

- has a team that will "rug pull" the users of their coin (think ONEcoin) [2]

- Is only paying lip-service to being decentralized (think again ETH) [3]

Also, who cares where the money comes from? I believe TOR is a project worthy of sponsoring...

More accurately, it could if it actually worked but since it doesn't all you're doing is paying more for lower quality of service. A key concept to understand is that when blockchain sales people say “no authority” they mean “except the miners, software developers, exchange and oracle operators, and the governments which have jurisdiction over them”. Just as real-world censorship is far more often based on after the fact consequences rather than preventing someone from speaking first, consequences can be applied retroactively to anyone who participates in illegal transactions and blockchains very helpfully publish a full list of transactions so the authorities don't miss anyone.

We're seeing this right now: technically, someone in Russia can make a Bitcoin transfer since the Russian government hasn't chosen to block the protocol at the network layer but when they do so they are finding that many companies won't participate in those transfers and since the history is public that can extend to any downstream transactions based on the transferred funds.

It's interesting skopeo [1] hasn't popped up in this discussion, partially because it is part of redhat's container tools along with podman, and partially because although it started out as a tool to examine remote containers it too supports container migration, but not just between registries.

From the linked website "Skopeo is a tool for moving container images between different types of container storages. It allows you to copy container images between container registries like docker.io, quay.io, and your internal container registry or different types of storage on your local system". Perhaps redhat plan to roll up skopeo functionality into Podman at some point?
