A few years ago I would have said ThinkPads but I think there are better options available now. At the end of last year I wanted to replace my T470, and wanted to upgrade to something with a more powerful (not U-series) CPU. The ThinkPad option that fitted my requirements was on back order for months, so I looked around...

The ASUS ROG line of gaming laptops had exactly what I wanted, although they look a bit garish, they are good value for what you get.

On Black Friday I got a G14 Zephyrus with a 8c16t Ryzen 9, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD and 14" FHD IPS screen. I think I paid £1300. There's a free RAM slot, so I upgraded to 32GB, I think it supports 48GB max. There are a couple of gotcha's mind you:

- It came with a WiFi chip with poor support for Linux (and it wasn't great on Windows). I got an Intel one from eBay for £10 and it took a few minutes to swap out.

- You need to restart X to switch from hybrid to integrated graphics, which you want to do on battery to save power.

- You need to restart X to switch from integrated to hybrid graphics, which you want to do when you get back to your desk so you can use a USB-C display.

- The default fan curves mean the fan turns on and off every few seconds. I changed the settings so it is off most of the time and it runs fine.

- The powerbrick that comes with it is heavy. I use a 65W USB-C brick and have no issues for working, but for gaming (it has a RTX 3060) it needs more power.

- The model I have has no webcam, that's fixed in this year's modem.

Everything else works great. Battery life is 5-6 hours as standard, but if you disable turbo boost and you can get closer to 10 hours.
"Limiting the backend stack to what browsers support is not great" Node.js shares the same language but that's about it. In the Node.js backend you have access to modules like lovell/sharp with optimized c code (libvips) for image processing. There really isn't much you can't do. With pm2 it is easy to spin up say 8 instances of Next.js utilizing all available cores. In my experience there is barely a distinction between client and server side rendered components.
getServerSideProps() or getInitialProps(), even though not perfect allow you to either call your backend code directly or call an API with the session cookie as a parameter.
Maybe 90% by count, but not 90% by volume of transactions, prominence, etc. Bitcoin seems to be entirely resistant to moving away from PoW and Ethereum have been in the process of moving to PoS for years.

Pop quiz: What will happen first, Ethereum PoS or the year of linux on the desktop?
This doesn't show exactly demand. One thing about data science job listings is that some requirements aren't descriptive of the job itself. It's common to put in something like "Python/R" or "Python/R/Julia" as a way to show that they want experience with at least one of them, but then the job is almost always Python; and not having Python experience is an immediate disadvantage because so many other candidates know it. I don't know about the Australian market but in my job search in the UK last year, 100% of the jobs I came across were Python jobs even if there was a long tail of other languages in the job descriptions.

If someone sees this visualisation and decides to focus on R/SAS/MATLAB or anything even lower on the list, they're making a career mistake in the current data science market.

(tl;dr - scraping job listings can lead to misleading results)
If the internet is stuck on phase 2 then telephones are still stuck on phase 2 as well, there's still plenty of phone scams through calls/SMS.
> a million times more efficient than Bitcoin

That is still a million times less efficient than existing solution and still horrifyingly wasteful. Blockchain principle is that if you have as many people as possible waste an astounding amount of computation and energy, you make over-ruling most of them too wasteful to be possible. You are not solving anything that way, just showing off that you have never heard of Kwakiutl.
Oh that’s true, but I think they meant scraped collections like Wikipedia images with captions - so that is matching text, but it’s not labels written in a consistent vocabulary by annotator teams.

This is good and bad, since it makes it more robust.
Cool. I might be using this. I think I would like to be an analyst. I looked into a corporate strategy role at my current company on a team that looks at M&A. Unfortunately only 25% was actual analyst work and the rest was project/stakeholder management. Apparently they use those roles to groom executives...
Land value tax = Higher rent, no?
How is a web page app better than a shell script you can run yourself? Of course, any old port in a storm – if you can’t run a shell script, this is better. But if you can run things yourself, you should. A shell script will stay on your file system and not disappear in a couple of years when the original author either gets bored with it or decides to make it proprietary.
I know it’s deliberate, but let’s be honest why would we expect them to make it simple when it isn’t in their interests. I’m saying take it out of their hands now and give users the control they need.
IMHO the problem with crypto is the very thing that its proponents cite as one of its key benefits, its decentralised nature.

We are told that crypto is supposedly a way to "stick it to the man", to fight those "evil banks/governments".

The trouble is that unlike fiat currency, there is no fundamental means of valuation. Crypto is worth what its worth on the day based largely or exclusively on entirely non-economic valuation, which is why its so incredibly volatile.

The trouble is that you cannot escape the truth that the world is based on trade. People make goods, people supply services and other people buy goods and buy services. People also buy and sell essential commodities. This happens both domestically and cross-border.

The value of fiat currency is ultimately tied to the economics of global, and therefore provides an objective means to value said currencies, both themselves and relative to other currencies.

You don't get that with crypto.

Well, you could argue that you do to a limited extent, but that limited extent would only make crypto comparible to emerging world fiat currency of some tiny country.... high-frequency boom and bust cycles, high volatility, potential for episodes of illiquidity etc.
Keep your head up, people like you are the only chance for Russia to improve itself.

It's not a gotcha. Perhaps Google can/should use their new Google docs feature to police these words internally as per corporate policy.

Whether or not Google is "being evil" by using language to obfuscate it's own anti-competitive practices is a separate discussion.
I got completely burnt out programming, so I quit and built a house on a rural block of land. You need to like being outdoors, even when the weather is miserable. The biggest issue is building up your savings in advance and being comfortable living on a lesser income.

Many former colleagues that I have kept in touch with won't give up their lifestyles which they can only afford because of their above average income. Being frugal and happy doesn't suit most folks.
> It hasn't even crossed my mind to get another device since then.

Honestly, I don't even know what to get in case it would break. I even have a spare mainboard just because it was 30 bucks on eBay. But in case it would fail completely, I don't know how to replace it.

Most other devices would be a major downgrade in repairability, which I meanwhile value so much that getting yet another Ultrabook that runs 2 years would be no option for me. The framework laptop and the System76 devices look nice, and either of those would probably win in that case, depending on which system is more easily repairable.

But still, they're by far not as easily repairable when components break down.

I use a slimbook with Manjaro/i3, and it's fast. Far more performant than Macbook Pro 2017 13-inch 16GB with iOS I have to use at work (a bit older hardware to be fair) and 1/2 in price. No freezing, can run PyCharm, VSCode and be on a video call with screensharing + run a pacman install at the same time and I've not been able to get it to slow down even a bit. Meanwhile Mac crawls to a halt with Google Meet or Slack calls screen-sharing.

This is my setup, so a bit different from yours though:

ESS-15-AMD
ESSENTIAL 15" AMD
Memoria RAM 16GB

The only issue I have is the touchpad location and style (no explicit buttons). It's not centered at laptop middle, but instead at text part of keyboard middle, but I mostly only use keyboard. Works ok as long as I reconfigure it to count middle button presses as left-click, otherwise I tend to misclick.

Battery life is still about 6-8 hours when using text editor/developing or about 4-5, if watching movies. It's quite heavy laptop, but still fine for couch-slouching. A bit too heavy for travel.

It's a year old and so far it does have some discoloration on plastic, but nothing has broken and it feels fairly solid. The KDE Slimbook you've chosen seems to have aluminium body, so it would probably far outlast my basic plastic version.
Proof of work is not fundamental to crypto
It’s usually not worth the effort. Invariably someone makes a mistake, or there is a version conflict between two people, and that defeats the whole purpose.

Besides, if they are sending you stuff in email, it’s already “versioned” by virtue of it being associated with a unique, chronologically ordered email. Add a local version for yourself when you ‘save as’ if it helps.
TikTok’s unsigned musician incubator gets mixed reviews from artists
You're seriously making stuff up now.

There are ways of expressing disagreement which are toxic, and there are ways of expressing disagreement which are not toxic. She has observed is that many anti-crypto people have been expressing their disagreement in toxic ways, and feeling justified in doing so. She is discouraging the first while encouraging the second.

If you'd spent any effort trying to understand what she or I were saying, you'd know that. It seems rather that you'd rather fight against imaginary arguments from your own head, which is far more troubling.

> Largely crypto seems to fail at being distributed internet money. If a project is fast and cheap enough for it that correlates with being too niche to be viable.

So is that why other 'crypto' like XRP, Stellar, USDC and Algorand are also compliant for the ISO 20022 standard since they are useful at being 'distributed internet money'? [0]

> We have seen BTC and ETH lose their function as internet money as transactions and prices have gone up.

Both of them have completely failed in their original purposes.

> Till the scandal, Eich seemed to be quite professional in separating his work from his personal life / belief.

He still is. One of the reasons I like projects like Brave and Vivaldi is that although I can see/infer some of their staff's politics, the teams themselves understand that they're toolmakers. That the world is a better place if smiths focused on forging good hammers and either left the preaching to someone else or did it off the clock.

Both projects have politics, but those are politics of browsermaking - privacy, lack of tracking, trying to give users more control rather than thinking they should tell you and me how to use their tools, what to think, what to see on the web. Brave and Vivaldi make hammers. And that is good.
We’ve been Netlify paying customers for 2 years now. While I appreciate the new features, the core platform has been becoming unreliable in the past 6 months. We’ve had a decent amount of downtime.

I do not recommend them anymore. We will move somewhere else.

Almost every few days we get a report that some customers can’t access our site from where they are. Our US east engineers can confirm that their POP is down.

Netlify’s status page says everything is working, but in reality it’s not.

Netlify as a CDN has failed for us on its core promise.

The world is only getting more complicated every day and feeling responsible for its ills is an impossible weight for those with little power to change it. We can only take care of ourselves and be a positive force to those around us. Don't let the weight of problems you didn't cause, or have no direct ability to impact, crush you.

I wish you the best.

Unfortunately people like him have been leaving Russia in droves since 1917, then in 1990, etc. The popular support for the war is arguably the result of this negative selection.
Your scheme could conflict if 2 people have version 8 and create a version 9. You may think, I know I’ll use a time stamp! But the file system already keeps track of the file modified time, so why encode it in the filename?

For file versioning in business without collaborative editing, you can keep the same filename and use check-in and checkout scheme, with a revision history.

For working by yourself and keeping track of the file, the windows and Mac file systems will also keep a copy of previous versions that you can restore so keeping around the copies as separate files has no benefit.

Bitcoin is very effective environmental activism. It accelerates our transition to renewable energies. Bitcoin makes renewable energy sources more profitable because it offers a base price for excess electricity. Any time, any place.

Furthermore, Bitcoin can lower the hidden costs of the petrodollar.

And Bitcoin incentivises having a low time preference. This leads to a much more sustainable consumer behaviour. Bitcoin helps us move away from the mentality of a throw-away society.

Whilst they are very different, miso paste is probably the closest thing to marmite that people in normal countries will encounter.

I believe miso paste is made by mixing cooked, mashed, soy beans with a culture of koji (_Aspergillus sojae_), and a certain amount of rice, used to grow the koji, and letting it ferment.

Marmite is made by mixing malted barley with yeast (_Saccharomyces cerevisiae_) and a lot of water, straining it, letting it ferment, skimming off the yeasty froth that forms on top (you can discard the liquid, although i think people have found other uses for it), washing the froth to extract the yeast, adding salt to induce autolysis, filtering out the solid bits of dead yeast, boiling it down, and adding some seasonings.

So although they are both made by fermenting something, the process is quite different. Miso is mostly soy bean, modified by the fungus, whereas marmite is mostly fungus, and is much more processed and concentrated.

No amount of crypto scams outweighs the good crypto has and will done for us. Technology is empowering, there is no comparison on the effect crypto has on the poor.

I wasn't specifically giving a btc example, qr code can also be apple pay or anything like that.

It's just that in the case of btc, there's no central authority to cancel the transaction. You need a court order to force the bar to manually send the money back to you. The bank cannot freeze the funds. Enforcement is crippled. If this is not a reputable business (unlikely for a bar and very unlikely for a small sum like that but bear with me), it's way more likely to lose your money.

This is one of the reasons why money transactions are hard and costly. You cannot pretend that a blockchain fixes all that.
I had a fantastic experience at DevCon V. Ethereum developer conferences attract all the technical folks and almost none of "money" people.

I haven't gone to any Bitcoin conference, but I can't see it being the same. Bitcoin's aversion to change means mostly demagogues are left, and all the talk is money talk.
Are there any ready made boards with esp32 and this ENC28J60 ethernet controller? I've used wemos/lolin and nodemcu but never saw an Ethernet option sadly.
You will need to disable SIP (and library validation) to do this, because your code signature will not match the target process's, which is kind of what this is intended to prevent. This is also why you cannot attach a debugger to arbitrary processes when those protections are engaged. But once you turn that off, there's a lot you can do, here's one of my projects that might give you an idea of one way to do this: https://gist.github.com/a70d44951cb72f82efee3317d80ac07f

Regarding the list of questions that are presented here EG - "How can we create a more equitable financial system, where everyone has access to banking services?"

Can anyone explain to me how crypto is uniquely suited to solve this problem? I'm not in principal against crypto currencies existing, but more and more I just see people trying to apply it to problems that they think exist because "the financial system is over regulated" - without providing any argument for why regulation is causing the unfairness in the first place?

I have yet to see anyone define a single problem in the financial system that crypto is uniquely placed to solve (besides funding criminal activity and bypassing sanctions), that wouldn't be better solved from better competition between banks.

Not every country in the world has a banking sector that serves it's customers as badly as in the US.
Better than the current situation.
You can't directly compare them, because taken individually none of those can replace "base load" fossil fuels by themselves. How much does a solar installation that can reliably output a gigawatt of power, night and day, rain or shine cost? Can't do pumped storage everywhere either - how many batteries do you need?

If you've heard testimonies from actual coups, you know nobody is naive enough to think they're going to seize State power from one of the most powerful colonial empires on Earth without tons of weapons.

I agree with you there was a conspiracy with some Trump-loving higher-ups in the security establishment paving the way for the protest, but you can never call a few hundred fascists a "coup" unless they all have a gun and are dropping bombs at key sites to destabilize opposition.

It's also important to note that these fascist networks have access to considerable amounts of weapons. The fact they were not brought along indicates they were not planning a coup. To be clear, i believe Trump himself was planning a coup, but most fascists attending the demo did not because Trump did not request that aloud.
Thirded. Even switching to a 2 years old used T every other year is still cheaper than spending 2k just to get what's currently high end and hope it lasts you 6+ years.
