> Transact as you like, and if there is a dispute you take the relevant records to the blockchain and it enforces according to them.

This whole idea falls down once you realize that the blockchain knows nothing about what was actually transacted. Say I give you a piece of bread in exchange for 1 Satoshi, but never receive that Satoshi. A court of law can, in principle, coerce you to pay what you owe me, but the blockchain can do no such thing. Similarly, if you do pay me that Satoshi but I never give you the bread, you'll also never be able to convince the blockchain to reverse the transaction or make me give you the bread.
While a valid point, you’re underestimating the increase in power costs in Europe. Last month I paid 0.36 EUR/kWh. Yes, 36 cents per hour.
I don't use them and doubt it, but it's Purelymail. So far only a test account with another domain that I have. They give you a little bit of free credit to start experimenting, and have a number of domains you can use.

Anyway the combination of Purelymail and K9 works. Instant email alert even when the phone is "asleep".

> they are the first to be affected and the last to see the effects of recovery

Are they? Financial markets are usually hit first. Low-income people don't have financial assets. They're hit the hardest, because losing a job and losing money in a retirement account are night and day. And they're hit the longest. But they aren't hit first.
The significant rise in price of housing has left people who own housing a whole lot richer, at least on paper. Those who don't own housing want to also become rich and they see emulation as the way to achieve that.

Case in point: Ten years ago I pointed some people living in the higher cost big city complaining about the high cost of housing in the city to a home for sale in a small town for $80,000; something they considered cheap. At the time the prices were stagnant, though. Their response: "Why would I want to own that? That would be awful." A similar home in the same neighbourhood just sold for $436,000 after two days on the market. Now that price is rising, making it look like a way to get rich, everyone suddenly wants to own it. It is still every bit as awful to own the house, but the quest for riches offsets that.

Should housing lose its ability to make people rich, interest will quickly wane. People will move on to the next get rich quick scheme.

I don't understand this. Why would you need someone with you on check-in if you're an adult? Why would someone need to pick you up if it's just a minor procedure? Why don't you just pack up, sign the papers and go on your way? It's not like they can hold you there, right?
May I ask what the benefit of this is vs spinning up your own Redis server?

An equivalent solution would be to spin up a $5 droplet on DO, do basic due diligence wrt security (lock down ssh, firewall, etc.) and you end up with more memory, more connections, for less money.

I realize I'm a Luddite, in the field of DevOps.

Is it just the benefit of not needing to maintain the server?
My last bill from Hetzner was ~35€. I host gitea, drone CI, hashicorp vault and my own docker registry/pypi repository. I can add as many users as I want, and I had exactly zero incidents in the past ~6 years since I set this up.

I don't even worry about a strong backup strategy (besides just making occasional snapshots of the data volumes) because this was all set up with IaC tools (Terraform, Ansible) and I have copies of all the code in local repositories.
Again, no. Maybe you're thinking about adiabatic quantum computation, something popularized by D-Wave. But most people in the industry don't call their machines "(universal) computers," but rather "quantum annealers."

This is not the same as universal, gate-based computation, which does take an actual program containing instructions, and executes those instructions more-or-less sequentially, just as any computer programmer would expect. The state of the system begins with what is essentially equivalent to a large array of 0's, and you manipulate it accordingly, without resorting to evolution as your primary computational means of marching forward. In fact, left alone, these computers are designed to remain static, like an ordinary computer. (However, they still couple with the environment and decohere, which is one of the major challenges we, as humanity, face in building a useful quantum computer.) This is what Rigetti, IBM, Google, HRL, Amazon, IonQ, ColdQuanta, etc. are doing. They use superconducting transmon qubits, ion qubits, neutral atom qubits, or silicon quantum dot qubits. (There are other companies and qubit technologies still.)
> If doctors were actually good the absolute first thing they would instantly do is allow there to be ten times as many doctors

They also want every doctor to be minimally competent and that goes completely against the goal of having as many doctors as possible, or, better, highlight the fact that this is how many doctors (or healthcare professionals) we can have considering cost of education, both monetary and in time.

If you really want more doctors, you could also pay software engineers and lawyers less. I was married to a doctor and I know how much she studied to be one. It's much easier to become an average software engineer or lawyer than becoming an average doctor. And you wouldn't want to meet an average doctor right after totalling your car with you inside. Changing the financial returns would make the profession more attractive to those who are in the game for money.

If I could make what I make counting squirrels in my backyard, do you think I'd think twice before leaving software engineering? ;-)

> If you look upthread, there was a mention of F# unit types.

And the syntax is `3<unit>` not `3 * unit`

- 1 is a scalar
- 1m is a quantity
- 2 * 1m "casts" 2 to a meter, but really this is just multiplying a quantity by a scalar
- 2 * 1m * 1m "casts" 2 to meter², multiplying 2 quantities then by a scalar

I insist, `1 * m` does not make sense. This is not a valid mathematical expression, because a unit can never be on its own without a value.

> expression of a unit without a value is (or should be to my mind, based on my education) a cast

There is no casting in math. Mainly because there is no types, only objects with operations. A vector is not a scalar and you can't cast it into a scalar.

A quantity is not a scalar either, and you can't cast one into another.

A quantity is an object, you can multiply 2 quantities together, but you can't add them if they are different. You can multiply a quantity to a scalar, but you still can't add a scalar to a quantity.

I'm going to go against the grain here and say denuclearization is not the solution for peace. I believe the reason the world has been at (relative) peace since WWII is because of the threat of a nuclear war.

If Ukraine had kept their nuclear weapons, do you think Putin would even consider invading? I don't think so.

A better solution to denuclearization, in my opinion is to adopt a "No First Use" policy [1]. I suspect internally the US and NATO do follow this policy but will not disclose it publicly for strategic reasons.

There have been performance-focused alternatives to NPM for some time: Yarn and PNPM. They offer other benefits as well, and both have become pretty popular (Yarn moreso I believe). There are performance-focused alternatives for a lot of things in the Node/JS ecosystem. TypeScript tsc: ESBuild. Babel: SWC. NVM: Volta. All popular to varying degrees, with people happy to install them for their performance gains.

Sure, npm run isn’t my biggest bottleneck. But it’s noticeable, and becomes annoying a couple of layers of indirection deep… which isn’t that uncommon, especially in monorepos. Shaving 200ms off might not sound like much, but it really depends how often you’re taking that 200ms hit.
No, but it might make Dreamcast emulation better?
You are seeing a single invocation as running your circuit for a single clock cycle after an arbitrary amount of clock cycles. That's the wrong approach. A single invocation of a circuit takes a stream of values and produces a stream of values. Every invocation start from clock cycle 0.

So yes if your circuit depends on external signals driven by registers living in a different circuit you need to pass those in as inputs. Essentially circuits are composeable just like functions.

A linear feedback shift registers always produces the same stream of values no matter how many times you run it. It's completely pure.
It is the running joke...
I found this website for picking JDKs to be pretty helpful and unbiased: http://whichjdk.com/
It's unfortunate that more architectures aren't implemented with something like DEC Alpha's PALCode, where the CPU's firmware is essentially a single-tenant hypervisor. The OS kernel proper uses upcalls to the firmware for manipulating page tables, etc. If abstracted properly, the OS would allocate the storage space, but ask the firmware to serialize and deserialize processor state on context switches.

In retrospect, the Alpha went a bit too far with the permissiveness of its memory model, and it turned out they really did need single-byte load and store instructions. However, it was really an elegant high-level design, and the implementation team was top-notch (same folks worked on StrongArm, AMD Athlon, P.A. Semi's PWRficient, and Apple silicon).
As far as I can understand, the project distributes and measures open-source software usage in order to collect revenue on behalf of the authors.

I don’t necessarily think that’s a terrible idea but I can’t even begin to imagine why it needs a blockchain or what a blockchain could offer that couldn’t be achieved otherwise.

I release my software as open-source because I am happy for people to use it for free, I don’t fully understand what problem this is solving — most open-source software usage is so widespread because it’s free, the problem is not that there’s no way to charge companies for usage — but it’ll be interesting to see how they set about doing this.

Easier than that. Classical stock valuation methods only make sense when the market is composed of financially educated, rational investors who use similar valuation methods. That is an outdated model of the markets though. When you add in algorithm driven trading and a sea of retail investors who are anything but rational, we can see how stock market valuation actually plays out: simple supply and demand. I mean just look at GameStop. Apes wanted bad stock, drove price up and then caught the shorts with their pants down. That was simply supply and demand mechanics. The same can be said for Tesla or a litany of other “overpriced” stocks.

> The cost in time to derive basic facts that would have been instantly available had they been memorized also harmed the ability, especially on tests, to get to the end within the time available

I can relate to this amazingly well. I'm dyslexic, so I have trouble remembering thing in the correct "sequence" they need to be memorized in. While taking some of my math classes in college, I particularly struggled with finishing statistics exams in the allotted time since a lot of the rules were (for me) difficult to keep straight in my mind. So, I memorized the bare basic "truths" and would basically start each problem from first principles. I knew them well enough to go very quickly, but I still ran out of time in some of the exams.

I wound up with a C in the class, but the professor commented that I probably would have received one of the highest grades in the class if I had taken the time to commit more of the "shortcuts" to memory and actually finished all the exams. Nearly all the points I'd lost on the exams were from incomplete solutions.

That being said, it was still one of my favorite classes ever, and was immensely useful to me as a newly minted manufacturing engineer in a foundry.

That means that native-comp was probably easier than well-performing Guile Emacs. I'm not disputing that, just pointing out that performant Guile Emacs could have probably been done if enough people contributed rather than leaving it to one person.
I just tune it out. There will always be negative headlines, reasons to sell stocks. Reasons to be pessimistic. Instead, I stay invested. What is supposed to be a crisis almost always comes to pass.

Russia’s economy isn’t a large chunk. It’s criminally small given their population, land mass, and strategic location between China, India, and Europe. They make as much money as the Netherlands plus Belgium, two tiny countries with small populations. They need serious reforms, pronto.

Granted, from a resource point of view, they are important.

Japan? Maybe a little more (they are currently #1 US debt holder at $1.3T).

Europe? Amid a sanctions-driven economic crisis?

> For example, "Beyond Good and Evil" by Friedrich Nietzsche on Amazon is $3.99 for the eBook, $17.99 Hardcover and $6.99 for paperback. Nietzsche has been dead for 122 years, so why do I have to pay? No one currently alive had anything to do with helping Nietzsche produce his work.

> Pirate Bay to the rescue, I downloaded the collected works of Friedrich Nietzsche (72 books, essays and other works) for the total cost of FREE. How amazing is that? I'm not sure I could even do that by paying for it.

You have a good point, but chose a bad example. For works that are public domain or otherwise out of copyright (at least, non-obscure ones), you have fairly good legal download options, starting with Project Gutenberg and the Internet Archive:

https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/author/779

https://archive.org/search.php?query=Nietzsche&and[]=creator...

Within that set of public domain works, the most popular ones often have somewhat nicer (but still free) editions from places like Standard Ebooks, Feedbooks, and Manybooks:

> Low-income people don't have financial assets

No, because they spend everything they get. When they cease to get money because a company lost X money and needs to close Y positions so that the balance sheet isn't so red for the next shareholder meeting, the low-income folk end up ceasing to pay for food or housing, with the usual side-effects.

I know a couple people who had to radically downsize (as in 4-dorm to 2-dorm rental and 1-job to 2-jobs each) in 2008, and, guess what, none of them was in finance.

OTOH, another friend of mine was forced to sell one of his boats. He may have been hit first, as in he had to start thinking about which assets he would need to sell, before the low-income ones, but, definitely, their lifestyle didn't change before the others.
True. So true...
Beat Saber is the only reason I still have a VR rig and I still feel like I agree with parent. It is a solid rhythm game and decent upper body workout on higher difficulties, but if I hadn't already bought a friend's used Oculus I don't think it would convince me.

A big part of it is how damned inconvenient the whole thing is. I need all these long high-quality USB3 cables for the headset and sensors, a beefy video card, and most importantly an otherwise empty room to play it in safely.

The Quest, the most convenient system, only kinda deals with the first two problems and does nothing for the third.

I don't know about you guys, but I can't just have the servants clear out the tertiary ball room whenever I want to play a game. In the normal sized bedroom I've allocated for VR I have managed to slam into walls on more than one occasion when moving quickly trying to hit something or dodge something.

I would definitely say the whole thing is still pretty far into "gimmick" territory for the vast majority of gamers.
I will say that for us this is a huge deal. We're a devops services company, and our customers expect their deployment pipelines to work.
