I switched to teaching after 20 years (sidenote: I'm not the only one mentioning "20 years". Is there a common thread?) I've been doing it for one and a half year now, so maybe it's a bit too early to draw conclusions, but I really like it and gave me new energy. In software dev I began to feel like the Ecclesiasticus: "everything that looks new, has been done before". I also felt like IT is often making things worse instead of helping out.
ENS was purposely designed that way. A smart contract can implement whatever rules you like.

It doesn't seem like a great idea to me for name registrations to be perpetual, but a name service on Ethereum could certainly work that way.

The bottleneck on that is data interdependency of your algorithm. If you break it in 6 or 10 instructions, the data dependency stays the same.

(Of course, you can add unnecessary dependency with a badly designer ISA. But it's not a necessary condition.)
Are there blockchain solutions that are not apparent scams?

NFTs are not cryptocurrencies, but I assume the parent comment was also calling them a scam? (well, they didn't use the word scam, but it looks implied)

There are also other "solutions" on top of blockchains, but I keep reading about them only from people who have a vested interest in getting more people to take part, in order to increase their own net worth. Which sounds like a pyramid scheme to me.

But to kinda contradict myself: Yes, there are blockchain things that are not pyramid schemes or other scams. But they also don't provide any other value. Whether they are scams or not depends on if you think the people pushing it actually believe in what they're saying.
I suppose we should do away with page tables and virtual memory then as well.

While not canal boats, some yachts do have varying amount of automation. Some have waypoint systems tied into radar/vision collision avoidance systems which will guide the boat through a series of waypoints and attempt to avoid hitting anything on the water. Obviously you're supposed to still be alert and in control of the boat, but automated systems for cruising around a more open area definitely exists.

You definitely wouldn't want to trust it for any place even slightly crowded though. On a big yacht you'll want to respond to changes quite quickly, and many of those automated collision detection systems are far from perfect.
Yes what s ironic is that they now try to push traditional medecine as a remedy caused by a virus maybe originating from abusive use of traditional medicine material.

However now I think they just fucked up at the lab, importing bats from all over Asia as a mad rush towards cataloguing everything. The end, then, justified the means and safety was secondary.

Whatever hypothesis anyway, this tendency we have in China only to care about the goal, will end up in tears. Taiwan is prob our next fuckup.

I believe the word Presentism comes to mind.

The idea of human rights is constantly in flux. It is subjectively understood and applied. For example, is internet access now a human right? It is not clear what interpretation of human rights should prevail. Not to mention that ‘liberal ideas of human rights’ is a very Eurocentric framing which denies important contributions from other civilizations.

Even interpretation of historical events relative to the present can be subjected to a flux in understanding. If slavery was codified to protect the rights of slave owners and slaves, while also providing for both parties, then this arrangement could be considered better than the economic servitude many laborers find themselves in today.

In fact, most slavery in history was not like the brutality of so called American chattel slavery.

So according to the cited creators Patreon she is now using Patreon's homegrown video hosting. [0]

If 117 videos with about 800 views are 99th percentile of bandwidth usage among the customers I'd argue the company is dead. All the standard plans on their website are (according to the article) useless, since they get cancelled if you
actually make use of the platform. Leaves the question which companies would rely on Vimeo for their videos. YouTube does it for free...

I live in a rural area and some people are selling their used John Deere machines to buy new ones from other brands due to this problem. It won't surprise me if those other brands invest more in that technology in the next years to be on par to John Deere, and it would be really positive if they force a higher level of repairability.

Anyway, those who sell those products probably would also sell the autonomous technology as a service more than a one pay product. If those services are arriving in the car market I doubt that machinery industry would reject earning a periodical income in addition to machine sales.

I think it’s a shakedown of those users. They probably think they can get a big cash infusion while those people migrate out. If you had a business hosting training videos then 1 week isn’t enough time to migrate you might end up eating a month or 2 at extortion pricing
I agree that the energy difference is small, although it's possible that the mpg could be affected more than that depending on if the engine was designed to utilize that energy efficiently (different burn rates and engine characteristics like bore/stroke/compression/timing can produce different results).
It can be physical too. Pretty sure my GI issues were caused from the stress of shipping software.

I remember this too. I decided I'd only try it with $1K. Soon, I'd tripled my money (despite trading fees), decided that I'd proven I could do it, and then put it all for long-term into a company I liked and believed in (Red Hat).

Later, I learned that winning being easy was the nature of the market at the time, rather than it being a personal achievement worth proving.

I also was lucky that I didn't discover a compulsive/addictive weakness for the activity, which could've turned a $1K experiment into personal ruin.
Different light sources emit with different "Coherence length". A continuous-wave laser has high coherence length, and a light source that isn't a laser at all has low coherence length even if it's monochromatic, for example a sodium lamp.

The laser used by the presenter has a coherence length longer than (or in the same ballpark as) the difference in optical paths in their experiement, so they get a clear interference pattern.

The Wikipedia article may explain. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coherence_length

Since you can measure coherence length (and higher-order temporal and spatial coherence statistics), it is part of the information carried by light from a luminous object that is available for imaging by a suitably designed camera.

> I imagine leaving the engine idling is a rational choice they’re making to be able to drive away quicker once that delivery is done. Yes it’s awful but they’re just responding to the incentives given.

There might also be mechanical reasons. First, according to what I've read stopping and then starting puts more overall wear on the vehicle than idling unless we are talking about a long time between the stop and start.

Second, if they are going to spend all day alternating between short delivery stops and short drives to the next delivery they might have to worry about whether or not the battery would be able to handle all those starts. The short drives might not be enough to replenish the energy from the battery that was used for the start.

This does not help much without doing further digging. I checked the "Steam" package and for me in Flathub I see a link to "See Details" for the publisher. Clicking on that takes me to the contributors page of their Flathub GitHub repo. Am I supposed to know if these are employees of the company or not?

I am on mobile, so maybe there's more info on desktop? I see nothing indicating if this is official or not, other than a note at the bottom of the flathub description telling me it is not official, which seems strange for that to be the only place indicating that.
On it ;D
Not that it excuses what's happening, or that it really puts her in the "top 1 percent"...but despite the low views, she could still be using a lot of bandwidth.

Her videos appear to be tutorials that are pretty long, most of them 1 hour+: https://loish.net/tutorials/ It wouldn't take many views/month to use a lot of bandwidth, assuming her customers watch the whole thing.

That's perhaps not worth $3500/year, but I can see why she might need a higher end plan with such long videos. $25/month may not be enough to cover the bandwidth.

What's confusing, though, is that their pricing page shows the highest-tier plan as $75/month, which is $900/year and described as "Unlimited live streaming - 7TB total storage". There's also the next plan down, at $50/month ($600/year), described as "No weekly Limits - 5TB total storage". So I'm curious where the $3500/year is coming from.
I feel like I know you :)
I will also add that it was likely a mistake to reference any laboratory-observed phenomena whatsoever, replicable or otherwise, with regard to such a topic. It would seem likely for there to be a bias against such references extant prior to any given proposition, the conflict between the common notion of the 'sterile' lab and 'bountiful' nature. Also, as with the case of Calhoun's experiments, zoo observations of 'alpha' wolves, or prior unrecognized variances between male and female experimenters with regards to rat subjects and pheromone exposure[1], there are more than enough 'plot holes' to provide psychological ammunition for the automatic dismissal of inconvenient propositions.

I’ve been coding for 15 years, got my first professional dev role in 2019 after shutting down the manufacturing company i’d founded in 2011.

I’ve had three dev jobs since then and have learned that while I love coding I can’t be a professional dev for the rest of my life. Nothing wrong with it, I just need more variety.

So I founded https://careerswitchtocoding.com to help new devs and career switchers land their first dev job.

I’ve also grown a dev focussed Instagram account to 56K followers along the same lines https://instagram.com/allthecode

I’m now full time on this and working out how to build a proper sustainable business model around it.

I love coding and developers and so I want to help new developers have awesome careers.

Sadly, there not many options if you want comfortable life and do good at the same time.

My fiends and I really wanted to do good when starting our careers and looked at many non-profits, all of them pay sub-market rates. And then we learned secondhand that most of these non-profits were run by narcissists leaders with worse office politics than regular offices.

We got jobs in regular companies building some of most critical infrastructure of the internet. We felt like we were contributing to advancement of humanity and freedom. But after 10 years, we realized we just made rich kids richer, divided humanity like never before, destroyed privacy, and made sure everyone is addicted to their screens.

I mostly helped in the building of the cloud, and I know what business most of our clients are in. Very few are doing something that is not harmful.

Teach in bootcamp? So that these rich-kids will have more workers?

Start your own business? Consulting? Helping other companies do evil? Another app to get hooked on? Restaurants? There is already obesity epidemic? Build new homes or rehab? I can respect that but it is capital intensive.

Anyways, I see whenever trading is mentioned people call it a useless activity while most of us are engaged in actual harmful activities.
I think that’s the point. If you are running b2b services it’s a shakedown of small business clients

> Pop Quiz: Who remembers Wireshark’s original name?

That's a real question for the ethernet people ;)
Awesome question.

I don't have a hugely strong mathematical background (second year university in some areas, like calculus, some stats, linear algebra, but a long time ago), but I think I know what you're getting at. My answer is yes – I had a particular experience on a silent retreat which I think falls into this category.

There's a 15th century text by Nicholas of Cusa that I think you might enjoy and which I think speaks to what you've raised. It's a fairly hard slog, especially if you haven't read anything similar – but I hadn't when I first read it, and I made it through. The title is De Visione Dei[0].

Cusa starts out with an Icon (a sacred image) which is omnivoyant: like the Mona Lisa, it gives the impression that it looks at each observer. Cusa builds a fairly complex mathematical argument, building on the observations of monks who process around the icon, reporting to each other their observations.

From this Cusa builds a descriptive idea of the divine; but as the argument progresses, this breaks down. This, however, is not a failure – Cusa has rather wonderfully brought the scholastic, reasoned, philosophical approach into dialogue with the apophatic, negative, approach. I won't spoil the ending for you. Cusa's drawing on theology from the Western and Eastern traditions of Christianity, and also on theology from Islam.

These big existential questions that fascinate me. To get a bit Kierkegaard, I think he's right in that it's what's real, it's what ought to ultimately draw our attention.

One interesting thing studying theology/philosophy/... is that my working set of metaphors has somewhat switched. I used to think about everything in terms of software, and sometimes startle people; now I often think about things in terms of texts like Cusa; which also startles people :-)

It's unfortunate that adtech enjoys less popularity than bringing clean drinking water to the world. That's really a tragedy and the main thing wrong with the world.

My wife is doing the online business for her mother’s brick and mortar business. Unfortunately having the brick and mortar store doesn’t help all that much for the inventory situation. That’s because you can sell 1000 different SKUs with only 1 of each in inventory in a brick and mortar store. But online you better have only 1 SKU and 1000 of that in the inventory. It takes effort to put a SKU online as you need a description, picture etc. for each.

You might want to keep that in mind when looking at helping your wife & sister to bring their business online. For example by having a reduced availability or offering a live video call service walking around the store and let customers choose that way.
I switched from software development consulting to being a game designer at a large studio. I still use my programming skills part of the time to prototype and build content but there’s a lot more variety day-to-day especially as I’ve gotten to be more senior: writing design documents, working with producers on the game’s business strategy, working with artists and ux designers, managing and mentoring, etc. The biggest difference is that I care about what we’re making in itself. Trying to make a game fun for people is a much more rewarding creative challenge than “get people to click on ads” or “make the website scale”. When I was a software consultant I thought I could find motivation in the pure craft of code. But as soon as I got into games I realized that can’t hold a candle to making a product where you feel creatively invested in the end result.

You're right, I think we dont prepare for the worst case. Im in HK and just today our dear leader said nobody could have predicted 2 millions HKers would be contaminated (5000 deaths).

Do you think the pro version of BeyondCompare is worth it compared to the standard one?
It is an answer to the question, and for every sanction you consider valid, there is one you don't, and so the tool to get around them, and the act of getting around them, is not damning.
I spent my 20s doing programming started off doing web dev and support and ended up doing the consulting thing. Got involved in a few games and start ups along the way. Made some money, have a bunch of opinions about how not to do things, met interesting people,and generally thought I was in for the duration.

I had kids, and my spouse flat out makes more money than me for fewer hours and better benefits. So, I am now the full time parent. We decided that having one of us stay home would be the best for the kids. So far it seems to make a difference.

It has really great parts and hard bits too. Basically, after a decade of short deadlines and long hours it's hard to adjust to the final product being your kids be good people by 2035. You get to rediscover the joy of playing at the playground, pet neighborhood dogs, and visit libraries and museums. On the other hand,I think that in the first year of COVID my number of adults interacted with per week approached 1.

I admit that I keep my foot in the door at one of my previous employers where I do someplace between zero and 5 hours a week of work on some legacy systems I helped build and have now been left to grow unchecked for 10 years.

Overall, I think that from a pure lifestyle perspective I don't think I can go back to 50+ hour weeks.

Nice idea but terrible implementation. Mitmproxy solves a lot of annoying problems, but, Python holds it back to such an extent that it's hard to make the case for deploying it in production due to massive inefficiencies.

Can't wait for someone to do it in Go.
Note that this is across all platforms in the repository, so it is skewed relative to the build for a specific platform.

As an example, Java is in there for Android. There is also a lot of JavaScript that isn’t shared between desktop and Android.
