What is the point of a blockchain where this could be achieved with simply a public/private keypair.
That's what I noticed as well. If they had targeted 50M in sales, would they still be around today? I'm not sure what to take away from this except hardware startups are hard - you can make a wildly successful product and get bankrupted because you failed at supply chain management.
> But there's the question of why someone should sacrifice so many domesticated animals just to discover another food source (after all, they already had animals).

You aren't necessarily sacrificing the animals, you are putting them at risk with the hope that they will be okay. Discovering more food sources was absolutely critical for subsistence living. The more potential sources for food the more able you were to stave off starvation (or stockpile extra food for hard times or trading).

>I mean, how would someone come up with the idea of mixing non-food with ash?

There are a variety of ways, even if it wasn't done spontaneously. Maybe the bucket of ash next to the fireplace spilled on some food. Rather than throwing the food away, why not try feeding it to the pig and see if its palatable? Maybe there was a forest fire that left a layer of ash over all the food, and there was no choice but to try to eat some. Over the course of time and the multitudes of people incidents like this were inevitable.
We want to provide developers with the tools that best fit their use cases. We're starting with WebSockets but have discussed offering additional protocols and technologies, like WebRTC. Plus, these tools can complement each other. For example, you can use Realtime Broadcast as the signalling layer for WebRTC. Then, you're free to use data channels to pass whatever ephemeral data you want between clients.
Try using displayplacer. It supports hz and I added color_depth to it a while back. I don't remember HDR being in the APIs used either but that may address it.

That'd be a good trick, given that there were no Nazis until 1920.
No, you didn't read my comment or you would have noticed I said "a good analogy for a believer".

Not everyone views the world the way you do, so you shouldn't judge their actions or motives based on your world view.
It turned out that the police officer died from natural causes, not head trauma.
yeah its weird they didn't look them up. they got 90% of the way there by already being a power user on Windows and then just gave up? I think the strength of MacOS is that non-power users would get 90% of the way there too.

But definitely just ask around and look up how to do things you are accustomed to! They even found the AltTab package somehow, even though I couldn't figure out what was missing... MacOS' minimized windows not being the thing that comes up, if they are minimized, but on Windows it will switch to those windows if they are simply behind or if minimized? Even the package they found doesn't exactly say whats going on. I almost never minimize windows on MacOS.... probably for that reason.
> running servers or at least using infrastructure run by fellow human beings, rather than consuming content from a handful of global feeds susceptible to these social Sybil attacks.

Basically nobody used the internet for social interaction back then. Now that nearly everyone has the internet[0] and we've experienced a large shift of social interactions moving to tiktok/snapchat/twitter/FB, we have to deal with misinformation campaigns by overseas operatives[1]. Now, instead of some government-sanctioned KYC requirement (that would hopefully put more safeguards in to prevent the large social media companies from using it for anything other than verification), we have Twitter using phone numbers as the de-facto standard; this increases the cost of creating tons of fake accounts, but who knows how much more they'll ask for in 2024.

Yep, it's cmd-backspace, which is unfortunately cumbersome, but it works and it's easy enough to remember.

That said, how the menu items appear always baffles me. Want to search for a file by name? Hit Ctrl-Shift-Command-F. How did I discover this? Open the menu and start banging different modifier keys till "Find" turns into "Find by Name..." I'm sure this behavior is as old as Macs, but it's an odd quirk, one that I still stumble over from time to time.
I love doing this but my personal hell is when my Google account(s) are constantly signed out of my PWA for Meet, Chat, Work Gmail, Personal Gmail 1, Personal Gmail 2.

This is an issue on MacOS, a lot of features like this one are not easily discoverable.
When you don't have price controls for food, you get revolutions. Or civil wars. Just ask how our boy Mubarak is doing down in Egypt, or Assad in Syria.

If you're a government minister that wants to die in bed, you need to do three things.

1. Subsidize food production and overproduction.

2. Limit food price increases.

3. Ignore people whining about the cost of #1 and #2, because they aren't the ones who will be swinging off lamp posts when the revolution comes - you are.
It won't, for the reason that those governments will not insure crypto and therefore people will never trust it. Aside from the recurring hacks, your life savings can be emptied at gunpoint.
Somehow they're doing it better. At least subjectively, people complain more about the YouTube algo's performance than tiktok. For the latter, the most common complaint is that it's too good.
Observational evidence nobody else believed.
I totally agree. What I'm pointing out is the reason they're all paranoid isn't something natural. It's a result of Russian disinformation campaign.

Many of the people who got fooled will go to their graves believing that the election was stolen, etc. We have to accept a certain portion of the populace is a lost cause.

However, everybody else who isn't completely delusional needs to understand what's happening. My honest belief is that if enough people can start to realize the root cause of our current national schism, suddenly things will make more sense.

Eventually there will be enough people on both the left and the right that understand who the real enemy is, and will realize that those pushing for a culture war are doing Russia's work for them.
I’ve implemented parts of KYC systems. It’s one component of what is essentially an outsourced surveillance mechanism. It is probably going to abused some day.

People want the government to have that power and to start inspecting and regulating speech so we can be more like China and we can fix the crisis of anonymous dissent and wrongthink? Oh well. I suppose it’s not really surprising.
I wouldn't know all of Putin's reasoning, but I have to assume that his expressed regret over the dissolution of the Soviet Union, his desire to find out just how much he'd be punished for it, his anger (and need to save face) over the Maidan Revolution, all played a role.
I'm a graphic design manager for a toy product company, so quite far from a tech company. :) Always known I'd end up in graphic design, but even despite loving computers and messing around with the guts of them (linux fan, etc), I've loathed working with design that's just meant for social media and digital assets, so my speed is more storyboarding, illustrating, architecture/tradeshow/experiential work.

I love the latter especially for its sense of physical "place" - you can't beat something that you can touch and feel. It's been a very fruitful path for me, and the fact it subsidizes my NSFW illustrations doesn't hurt. ;)

I think of workspaces as "a folder containing all of my projects".

Say I'm working on project A, project B, and misc-utils. Projects A and B include misc-utils. I put project A, project B, and misc-utils in the same folder along with go.work. Then, if I need to add something to misc-utils for project A, I don't have to re-publish misc-utils for it to affect project A, it does so automatically.

Now you can already do this by editing the go.mod of project A so that it depends on the local version of misc-utils, but then you have to make sure to revert to the upstream version whenever you publish project A.

In your case if the dependencies are already in your repo, then you're fine. A workspace is good if you have multiple repos which depend on one another, and you're working on all of them at the same time.

>Canada hasn't fallen into the same sort of divisiveness the US has

Canada is, politically, even more harshly-divided than the US is. We even have specific political parties for it: the Quebec Party, the Western Party, and the Largest Cities Party (the latter two will deny this, but that's the truth). Quebec has tried to separate from Canada twice in the last 50 years, and was within a Brexit's margin of their latest attempt not succeeding- for all Texas' bluster, they haven't even come close to this.

What makes the division worse here is that the stakes are raised higher- our legislature is unicameral, the executive is formed as a consequence of the vote breakdown for the legislature, every single vote is along party lines, and there's effectively no constitution (as an American would understand it).

The rough equivalent in the US is if there was no Constitution, and NYC and DC picked every single representative, senator, and the President.

The difference is that the average American would go to war if that happened, and the rhetoric downstream of that property makes their division look worse than it is; it's the opposite in the other parts of the world that are more stereotypically concerned with looking polite and respectable.
No, I think they mean the iPhone 12 Mini: https://www.apple.com/iphone-12/key-features/.
But it’s not overly pedantic. POSIX is literally a formal standard, and that standard does not provide a mechanism for long options. Other “POSIX (i.e. Unix‐like) systems” like the BSDs do not generally use long options, nor do they generally support -h as a “help” flag.

What you’re describing as a POSIX convention is really a GNU convention. But the world of POSIX consists of more than just GNU. So the grandparent post is correct.
I went through this disaster in the reverse sense back in the 90s when I tried to use WABI (Windows Application Binary Interface) in UNIX (Solaris). While it did work, in a fashion, it was never as good as running Word or Excel under Windows itself.

Now people are struggling with trying to run Linux stuff under Windows. For the love of God, why?

If you want to run Windows or run Linux, run it natively. If you want to run Windows and Linux at the same time, run a Windows guest under a Linux host, or run a Linux guest under a Windows host. VirtualBox and similar are your friends.
I would prefer to (and do) just add the pipe myself. More often I pipe to grep.
If your country re-elected George Bush in a free and fair election after he invaded a country illegally on false pretenses, what makes you expect the Russian people to risk their lives to get rid of Putin?
I presume as a method of manually constructing backtrace, as the same error may occur in multiple places it's helpful to understand the context.

I too would label it a preference.

To get out of the error handling tedium in our platform I largely opt to panic instead whenever viable, which gives a nice trace for free. (I am but human, and the error handling particularly grates once you have gotten used to just typing `?`.)
I'm pumped for Beeper but have been on the wait list 6 months now, and am wondering if they're having implementation issues.
Yes, an olive branch is exactly what my idea was.

I think your contrary opinion is totally valid way to look at it. What I'm talking about would definitely be a gamble.
Interesting, I haven't heard of Eve Online but will definitely do my research.
Local roads bleed money universally everywhere, because pretty much no place charges tolls for local road use. Gas taxes do not cover road costs, because gas taxes are not by the same entities that actually build the roads, so there is no reason to expect it to be the case. However, and fortunately, road construction and maintenance is universally a small part of municipality budgets in US, typically under 10%, and very rarely anywhere close to 20%, so there is not much reason to worry about affordability of local roads.
I think that's what they targeted as their market niche post-ipo. It may even have been non-deliberately incremental. I'm cynical enough to think it's deliberate though.

For my part, a fair number of my items are non trivial to duplicate without a distinct loss in quality, so I still get reasonable sales and could probably ramp things up of I wanted/needed to.

However some things I sell have been SEO squated with crap quality items that don't even look remotely the same quality, but I don't have the energy or need for additional sales to optimize my own SEO. So, right now, I sell items that mostly average out to $40/hour profit, which isn't too bad for a hobby I enjoy.

About 80% are items that are pretty routine but still fun to make knowing the recipient will like them. The other 20% are truly unique items that I love making as more of an artistic endeavor, even though the time:cost ratio is much less in my favor than the other 80%. But that's also why mass producers can't poach my sales -- the market is way too small for these niche items to create a production line to copy them.

I'm working in a medium (leather tooling) where you really can't reproduce handmade quality at a mass scale. At least not economically: custom die cuts w/ embossing plates and personalization aren't economical for unique designs where I can offer 50 variations even though some of them might only sell 1 every 3 months, and the handmade version looks better than the mass produced stamped-out design anyway.

It's very hard to find a niche like this though. A lot of things are easier to replicate in exact detail than hand-carved leather.

Yeah, basically it lets you use a local version of a dependency rather than a published version. This way you can make changes to the dependency and test that they are compatible with your downstream project without needing to resort to hacky workarounds.
“Small government types” are a fraud. That stuff is just chum for the masses.

Wedge issues like guns, abortion, etc are designed to break traditional democratic constituencies from the herd. Catholic priests were leaders of socialist revolutions in Latin America. In the United States, some catholic bishops were in favor of child separation due to abortion.
It's short hand because the argument being conveyed is long and has nuances. That you can present part of it in a shorter way is irrelevant.

If you really want to harm the Putinists, insert an overseas jobs listing link when a Russian IP is detected. Encouraging brain drain is likely the most effective way the tech community can harm the regime. Welcome a Russian, make a friend, maybe drain the regime.

I see too high a ratio of sticks to carrots these days, but maybe that's just me.

Edit: I just finished 10 years overseas, and occasionally caught flak for US policies that I disagree with. I'm rather sympathetic to (would-be) expats in general.

Edit 2: I spent an extended period in Kyiv, and it really was wonderful city. I found the Ukrainians to be generally kind, but a bit distant, not a warm sort of friendliness. (Though, I look Slavic enough that I was regularly mistaken for Russian when I was in Turkey. I'm sure that helped my experience in Ukraine.) If I could have lived in Kyiv at my current salary, I would have done so (without foresight of this war). I'm really rooting against the Putinists, but I feel sympathy for the common Russian, even those who swallow the propaganda.
honestly my impression even at the time before the sale was that Pebble hired _loads_ of people.

I honestly think that there was an alternate universe where they slowed down, paid people "normal" salaries, really tried to not scale up... I dunno. They had a perfect spot in the market where they could rely on older tech, but every company wants to become the biggest company controlling everything all the time.

There are companies that survive without having 100% of the market share in something, or even 20%. Selling products at retail are hard and you have way thinner margins in theory. But it felt like there was a sweet spot they could have stayed in for a long time
Academia thrives on open benchmark that researchers compete against each other to get the highest score on. How would you replicate that with a recommendation system where in industry you test recommendations by variants A/B/... and observe the winner? Your benchmark is no longer static and you rely on users' feedback for the recommendations each algorithm made.
Better or worse depends on use case, but I will say that a tree is a much better semantic fit than a flat list.

A hydrogen economy is likely going to be developed anyway, to decarbonize air transport and maritime shipping. Piggy backing on top of this maybe be cheaper than the ~$700 billion (probably closer to a trillion if we include Canadian rail) required to electrify North American rail transport.

It's always struck me as somewhat bizarre that so many libertarians who claim to embrace empiricism & the scientific method have also embraced a movement that's directly counter-science, but it's a school of economics they can point to and claim intellectual rigor based on.

iPhone mini: price and battery life.

I believe this, but I don't think it addresses whether implicit or explicit error handling is more likely to result in correctly handled errors. My opinion is that explicit is better than implicit (and I'm using implicit and explicit loosely here--the `?` operator is technically explicit, but I'm considering it to be implicit since it's easy to overlook a single character).
I find this goes against the go simplicity. I continually find that Maven & Gradle are much easier to use than Go's package management system for versioned dependencies.
