A simple overview of current technical trends in web3.

1. Identity

Wallets are required to interact with chain. This means every user has one which is great because you can use wallets to sign message and authenticate people.

People's transaction history are public so you can fetch that and do authenticate on a micro level. Say, you want to authenticate people who have a particular nft or spent money somewhere specific.

2. Tokenomics

Encourage contribution and investing by providing financial motivation in the form of tokens through technical means.

Take example of torrent protocol. A big problem with torrent is there are not enough seeders because there is no incentive to seed which means many useful torrents go down.

3. Public ledger

This one doesn't need much explanation. Use cases like DNS or voting fits the area where every record needs to be publicly available and verified.

4. Financial & payments

Prediction markets, Programmable finance, cross bridges, AMMs, lending, yield farming, etc. Some are cool, some are almost scam but there are some novel ideas tested in practice here. AMMs are one successful example.

5. Collectibles and scarcity

This one is controversial. If you know the traditional gacha and pay to play industry is huge, then you understand the applications where trading and uniqueness is built in. The items can be made unique and be used outside the game which increases their value.
You have to enforce your trademarks otherwise they might be declared invalid. Regardless of the final decision, what RedHat did seems pretty normal to me.
Thanks for this. We've been doing something similar with the Universal Sentence Encoder en masse (https://www.tensorflow.org/hub/tutorials/semantic_similarity...)

Curious if anyone has recommendations on good stashes or datasets of already-encoded embeddings? This sounds geeky but to some extent, I dont even "care" about the original text but would love to just get the embedding vectors and play with those.
Not GP, but I really like [] being false in ruby and python because I often want to ask "is this variable that should hold a collection holding a collection of things, or is it empty/false?"
Take a look at the developer console when visiting www.facebook.com
I love this idea and think there could be a lot of value generated here.

Here's a brain-dump of feedback items (both UX and feature requests):

- I'd like to search by various data fields (event name, location / zip code, date)

- When updating the results list, I'd like to see the map auto-snap to all the events (currently, when I select "this weekend", there'll be more events in the list than visible by default in the map)

- The "Show more" tooltip is a bit redundant with the stuff in the sidebar, and its alignment is a bit off

- The form to create a new event is 11 steps long - without an indicator, I might lose my patience and give up... perhaps there's a way to batch a couple questions in a single screen, or display a step indicator

- If the "Show more" tooltip is displayed, and I switch to a different event type, the tooltip should be hidden

- I appreciate the ability to subscribe to an email list, but I'd also like to set up a profile / event preferences / email & push notifications

- I'd like to be able to tag myself & others at events

- I'd like to be able to follow up on past events to see the outcomes, guests, etc...

- I'd like to see if there are any business and/or local gov't sponsorships for events

- I'd like a calendar integration for any events I "follow" or "plan to attend"
> But a new detailed analysis by self-described debunker, skeptic, and UFO investigator Mick West

Ignored as soon as I read the name "Mick West". The guy's brand is to be a debunker which in of itself is not bad but I am not gonna trust a video game developer's (brand aligning) explanations of this phenomenon compared to trained fighter pilots and the US Navy/Pentagon who have found no explanation of this phenomenon thus far.
> It broke my trust

Can you elaborate on this a bit? What trust did you have in PHP, and what did it do to break that?
The post you cite by Perens doesn't seem to mention the term "FLOSS" (or spelled out), right?

I have seen "FLOSS" used as an umbrella term for ALL of it, that is anything that is open source is also "FLOSS". But you are saying it exists to differentiate from "open source"? Huh. Just to muddy the waters yet further.
“ Adjustments to the IORB rate help to move the federal funds rate into the target range set by the FOMC. Banks should be unwilling to lend to any private counterparty at a rate lower than the rate they can earn on balances maintained at the Federal Reserve. As a result, an increase in the IORB rate will put upward pressure on a range of short-term interest rates. The opposite holds for a decrease in the IORB rate. Typically, changes in the FOMC's target range are accompanied by commensurate changes in the IORB rate, thus providing incentives for the federal funds rate to adjust to a level consistent with the FOMC's target.”

U-6's 7.2% is compared to 7.0% in February 2020 and 8.1% in February 2007. So even that is similar to pre-Covid levels and better the the peak before the last recession.
I'm glad someone else got on this soap box today. Folks will bend over backwards to justify the U-3 rate when it's not that meaningful at all.
Not-quite Fiscal Theory: the fed mints a $1 trillion dollar platinum coin and lends it to congress to allocate the year's budget. The coin may not have any value beyond spot, but everyone can see that congress has a rare piece of metal!
Yes.

I think if I find myself in a profession that is overly concerned with things other than the work of that profession then it is time to find a new profession, or at least find new circles within the profession to associate with.
I think the pitch here is “Semi-managed WireGuard peer provisioning and NAT punching as a service” usable by anyone who may not otherwise have a clue how WireGuard works (eg. friends sharing access to a file/media server), within 5 minutes or less from download/login to “done”
It’s essentially a subjective question, but FWIW I disagree. I’ve written quite a bit of JS and quite a bit of TS, and I find TS so much better. I’m more productive, generate fewer bugs, and have more fun when writing it.

> But if you're even average at it, you're only annoying people and they will tolerate that annoyance out of social obligation, not because they like it.

I think this part is already implicitly understood, but everyone thinks that they're above average or that their app is special enough that it really needs a custom font.
> Your argument is a non sequitur to me:

For something to be a non sequitur, it must be a non sequitur to everyone, not just to one. This is not a non sequitur for two reasons.

1) The sentence you quoted was not intended to be a
consequence of the earlier statement. Unemployment rate
and number of job openings are connected, but not as you
believe. Correlation is not causation. You are drawing
inferences without cause.
2) Full employment depends upon the number of job openings as
well as the unemployment rate, which you ignored from
my comment.

> Yes, which would basically imply that it's incredibly easy for anyone who wants a job to get one.

No. That is your inference but is clearly not implied.
I find dishwashers to be surprising dangerous. They can catch on fire from the heating element and their failure rate is astonishingly high.

Shameless plug. Disclaimer. I work for Cloudflare. Have you tried Workers? You can do the same in a playground [1].

You can also do the same by deploying a worker through the dashboard UI (including writing the code). Nothing to link though because you need an account. The playground is limited in what it can do because it’s not deployed. You can also use Pages to point at a repo which lets you build a website and server side code (through Pages Functions which actually runs your code in a worker).

I'm interested in how you adjust that for expertise; do you bump your hourly rate for items that took you longer to learn to make well? How do you figure out how much to bump by, if you do?
These observations have also been made by military adjacent organizations in UK, France and China. It is definitely not a US pilot specific thing.
This is why I want UBI for my fellow man. So that people can more easily persue academia and personally funded research and development. We need more minds at work to innovate our way out of many messes that are converging at the intersection of a burgeoning population.
That’s an impossible task - because it isn’t.
Yet the title of the article says the video was camera glare. Which doesn't even make sense. But what it suggests is that the entire contents can be explained away as camera glare. So blame the media in this case perhaps?
IMHO:
Vercel/Next.js and their wonderful changelogs and documentation. Probably the "coolest" tech company in my book.

Cloudflare, who almost single-handedly pushes the CDN industry ahead. So much respect for what they do and how they explain it in easy to understand terms.

IntelliJ family of IDEs and their extensive release notes and forum discussions; it can be a bit overwhelming and disorganized at times though

My personal favorite headless CMS: DatoCMS, small company but highly involved devs and iterating very quickly

Google USED to be really good at this long ago, but since Alphabet, they've become less and less transparent and more and more evil

Airtable, for bridging that gap between Excel and a proper database, with a heavy focus on UX and great release notes
I'm using insanity as a description of a delusional state of mind, i.e., a mind that is constantly playing make believe. "I'm a free person...I'm a good person...What I'm doing is important...etc."

Strictly speaking, you're correct. If a mad man talks to coconuts on an island, and no one is around to observe him, is he really mad?

However, we are a part of nature and social contexts will be with us as long as we survive. I think the separation between us and the universe is artificial. We are the universe. What else would we be?
1) Make a survey that classifies respondents into one of the 12 astrological signs

2) give it to a lot of people, the more the better

3) also collect their birthdays

4) do a regression analysis to determine how well the sign based on birthday predicts the sign based on the survey response

5) profit

Good luck
Pretty common in .nl. HR does not give a shit about you or your job. If there is no 'culture fit' or your resume doesnt tick the exact right boxes, they will just send your resume to the bin. This is mostly due to pure arrogance of HR people. Ghosting is practically the norm
How does any of that sound appealing to anyone?

Especially for the first two points, how do you not see the absolute dystopian downsides?
Regardless of your political position, this falls well within the definition of malware. It's irresponsible for the maintainer to allow this: https://github.com/RIAEvangelist/node-ipc/issues/233
In Sweden everything is in Helvetica. It's really hard to spot text in other fonts except for (rare) logos.
[] should be falsey so it can be used in an if().

I'm not sure about macros.

I kind of want to see `with` back also. The problem with it was ambiguity. The syntax could be adjusted to avoid the ambiguity. .e.g `.prop = val;` could be legal inside the block. But "why though" you ask. A `with` block makes it visually obvious that a block of code is specifically relating to getters/setters on a particular object instance.
I might be overly pedantic with this point but saying a shiny balloon fits the limited data we have, doesn't mean it was a shiny balloon.

The thing that bothers me the most about this sort of discussions is that it's all done on "paper"[1]. It would be helpful to actually release a balloon, or whatever object you think it was, and check if you can reproduce the glare and other sensor data.

If it's very easy to reproduce then we can be more confident in that explanation and probably nail down more detailed characteristics of that object. Once we have that we can look where this object could've come from. For example, if it points to a balloon, did a company/organization lose a balloon in that time frame? Once we have all this info we would have an explanation that's more robust than someone saying: "It might be possible this and potentially that"

This requires money, time and the hardware. So I guess it's unlikely that will ever happen.

[1] Not saying it's useless. Those calculations and/or simulations are very useful to limit the types of objects it could be.
This explains really well several things I was struggling to explain.

And also introduced me to the word "ontogenically". Thanks twice.

Off-topic, but has anyone actually used their product, it seems really cool, but I'm trying to decide if it's smoke and mirrors?

Even if it generates a lot of really stupid test cases, including them in a separate package would be incredibly powerful for handling stupid mistakes.

Yes.

No worries. You know what they say about opinions.
I have an unknown file with data
how would I find out what kind of data is it on linux? it's probably not encrypted, I just don't know what type of file it is
>>> In the future, media will move faster than copyright. I imagine telling a machine, "make me a new Star Wars film, but with dragons", and out streams the result.

>> That sounds like a dystopia of stagnation and solipsism. Imagine each person becoming a super-fan their own Marvel Cinematic Universe™ that's both utterly derivative and incapable of being a point of connection with others.

> Take a look at TikTok and YouTube. There are so many people creating content for others.

But those people are creating "content" themselves, they're not asking a competent machine to do it entirely for them. That's such a big difference that they're not even remotely the same kind of activity.

> This technology is going to bring about an artistic Renaissance and people will have more ways to express themselves and employ themselves and do the things that they want with their lives.

You seem to be talking about something entirely different than what you wrote about in your original comment. That comment described the machine doing the expressing, on demand, with minimal user input.
Make predictions. Simple
Oh, sorry you misunderstood my question.

I know that I would have to run Linux in a VM. My question was whether Podman provided an installer that set up a Linux VM in the same way that Docker Desktop does.

It's completely awful, seeing Mac and Windows spend their their trying to VM Linux, poorly. But that's what I have to work with.
Some part of me wonders if they wrote some clear optimizations for defined types that translate easily to Rust. I could give two shits about types honestly, but I’m also one of those weirdos that keeps function arity low, and object definitions concise.

How did people write semi elegant Ruby or python all these years, why wasn’t there such a massive push for types in those languages? Most likely because backend people chose the backend language of their choice, but on the frontend they detested JavaScript (you have no choice, you must JavaScript you anti authoritarian shit heads) so much they had to drown it with some kind of ketchup to make it edible (Typescript).
More like wannabe lisper. Maybe someday I'll land that Clojure job.

And yeah, making [] false-y would probably do bad compatibility-breaking things. That's from the department of wishes more than good practical going-forward choices.
The US uses a large-scale survey for unemployment rather than tying it to the unemployment process. The official definition most people quote is based on responses to the survey of "have not worked recently, have looked for work recently" but there are also broader measures of unemployment that count people who want to work even if they haven't looked, as well as people working part time who want to work full time.

Using even the broadest measure of unemployment[1], numbers are back down where they were before Covid. The labor force participation rate is still down though[2] which means that about 2% of US adults aren't looking to go back to work at all- many of them are likely now retired, students, or stay-at-home parents.

Neat, I did not know you could use Nginx Ingress directly with FastCGI! That was worth the read alone.

I've certainly warmed up to PHP over the last couple of years as I've been maintaining a couple apps, and while it's nowhere near my favorite language, I do think PHP gets an unfair bad rap because of historical terribleness.
"Bingo! You've hit the central point of the article."

I'm sorry, but it doesn't read like that for me. If it were really getting at the idea of there being underlying issues then I would expect there to be investigation of them to further support that point. If it's trying to call out the partisan finger pointing and use of "convenient" data, then I don't see why they would also engage in those actions (doesn't seem like satire to me).
Generally salary is about a third of billed rate- the plumber billing $120/hr is making $80K, someone billing $50/hr would be in the $30K range.
That’s true for padding. Deno is still doing a lot to standardize on the web platform APIs to be part of the base runtime available and that’s work they’re doing on their own and not for free as part of v8. This is similar to what we do at Cloudflare and I think there’s similar efforts within Node in 17 for what it’s worth.
> Noon should be whatever noon's offset from UTC should be.

I presume one wants a fixed offset / a fixed 24h day (modulo leap days). (The length of a day changes during the year. And I mean in the sense of "the time between high noon on one day to the next" changes, not the amount of sunlight, which of course changes. This is what the "mean" in "mean solar time" is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_time#Apparent_solar_time)

Design is good. It employs a lot of people.

At the other end of the spectrum, we could continue to employ the same typography and UI primitives reusably and forever, getting rid of or repurposing design efforts and design people.

Both choices have trade offs.

The market selected our current methodology and practices, and not for a lack of alternatives, for better or worse.

Design is thought to distinguish your brand and elevate your experiences. Maybe not everything truly needs this, but I don't see enough compelling evidence showing how to compete without it. The market says design is important.
Use your knowledge to make some precise predictions and state them before the event. Possibly put them in the equivalent of a sealed envelope so the predictions themselves don't influence human reactions. The prediction should be unambiguous and falsifiable.

Also, you must mean stars and planets, right? The positions of the stars take multiple human lifetimes to visibly change.
The US killed millions of people in North Korea, and was also largely responsible for the Khmer Rouge taking power in Cambodia in the first place.
Hmmm. No Clojure, LISP or Scheme support, apparently, not even for syntax highlighting?
I think the proof is in the pudding. Vimeo has been the #2 video sharing platform for a long time and are basically exiting the creator market because it's costing them money.

I know this is tangential-- but does anyone know what the normal failure modes of microwaves are like?

20 years ago I microwaved some leftover macaroni and cheese from just a few seconds-- and it came out absolutely charred.

I was confused but then noticed the microwave making an awful sound--a low rumble--it wasn't supposed to be on at all. Then the sparks started, then the smoke. Unfortunately the plug for it was behind a refrigerator so I ran to the electrical panel to turn the house power off.

I figure some mosfet or something that controlled power must have failed closed or something. It most likely would have burned the house down if I hadn't happened to be right there.

Infiltration is barely an accomplishment. What material things has China done to any other country outside of the ones it has border disputes with, ever?

The US has obviously accomplished much more, toppling the governments of dozens of countries, and always credibly threatening and working towards doing it to two or three.

The "Overt" campaign you cite against "US Newspapers" consists of buying $19 million of advertorials. That's a billionaire's bar tab.

I'm outside of Canada. Trying to go to homedepot.ca just gives me an 'Access Denied". I legitimately want to purchase things to send to people back home and cannot. There's not even some sort of graceful fallback. I don't understand the logic and wonder if it's just an honest IT routing mistake.
