ZOC still exists. The latest release was in late April. ZOC uses Rexx for scripting because it was originally written and released for OS/2.
Drivers are a large part of the development costs of a GPU, just like how an operating system is a large part of the development cost of a general computer.

If nVidia open sourced all their drivers tomorrow the risk of some cheap Chinese shop making clones of their hardware and re-targeting the nVidia drivers to get lots of the features would be very high. It'd significantly reduce the value of what they'd built (to them).

Really, I don't get why so many Linux users ask questions like this. Most software is proprietary because it costs money to develop. This site we're talking on isn't open source. Windows isn't. macOS / iOS isn't. Games generally aren't. Google isn't. Azure/Bing aren't. Open source is the exception, not the norm.
Banning solo flight would make a lot of people unhappy. Having a passenger emergency checklist and explaining where the radio is doesn't sound like an undue burden if it actually makes a difference.

It would be an opportunistic thing that only applies when it's near zero cost.

Actually you are proving my point that the proclivity to infer - basically, make shit up - is contagious in conditions of mass censorship and hysteria.

If the Russian state has made official proclamations to support the theories being presented here, it should be quite easy to refer to them.

Anything else is just agitprop. You need to learn to recognize when you are actively participating in agitprop, clearly.
> Nobody can smash your door here without proper authorization from a court.

This is an urban legend. My country Germany often prides itself to have protections here but that is a lie. In reality courts are overwhelmed so they basically sign any request the executive brings in. We had that for a twitter comment that hit the news a few month ago, but we also have that for people buying flowerpots online because they were suspected to grow weed. No joke. Surveillance is again very strong here.

It is true though that they mostly knock at least or they wait until you are not at home. But the barriers are very low for a supposedly enlightened society. And recourse against illegal searches are very limited as well and some end with quite some property damage.

Some geniuses thought it would be a prudent idea to evaluate the performance of police by the cases they close. So they really have to search for crime in any niche. State incompetence of the highest level in the highest positions and people have very little protection against that and if at some point there isn't enough crime...

The tend not to even say sorry if their search was wrong. Neither the executive nor any other government entity. The police is the least guilty although the system relies that they only request reasonable searches.
The promise of a stablecoin, in this case Tether, is that you can always change 1 USDT into $1. When people buy Tether, they pay then $1 and believe the promise that they will get $1 when they want to.
You say "doom and gloom" as if the media is being unfair in their coverage of Coinbase. The same Coinbase that saw a 43% decline in share price in four days before releasing their earnings.

In said earnings report, they:

- Posted a net loss of $430m (defying analyst expectations of a profit)

- reported a decrease in monthly active users.

- reported a decrease in transaction volume.

Their bonds have been downgraded, they are facing increased financial regulation and two of the largest stablecoins have become unpegged in the last few days.

Coinbase then files an SEC disclosure stating in plain terms that it will use the assets of its users to pay off secured creditors in the event of a bankruptcy.

His twitter thread was definitely not a reasonable response.
That is of course true, but it's a pretty poor example since both languages need one line of code for the loop header.

The C line is more complex and less abstract, but that doesn't affect the lines-of-code metric that was being used in the discussion.
Exactly. This post was like a blast from the past about things that have been working fine for ages. Curious if young developers read this and thought it was a modern invention.

So why would one want to have Luna when you got Terra? I know Terra is backed, I know Luna is speculation, not any different from doing a roulette game.
Television is not an official means of state communication. Whatever you are being told to think by talking heads on the idiot-box, the real truth of what the Russian state 'wants' exists in its decrees and orders. Got some of those to refer to? No? Then you are participating in agitprop, plain and simple.

But they get to buy and sell tethers themselves, right? If a T costs less than a dollar, and Tether's owners know that it's perfectly backed by a liquid dollar, why don't THEY buy it?

If they don't, it suggests it's not, and they actually agree it's worth less than a dollar.
You say it's easy to disagree with him, but I've yet to see a well-thought-out argument where he is wrong in this video series.

Ask HN: Git on Immutable Storage
If git repo is on such storage which doesn't support remove operation (single-write flash or somekind inside blockchain) - what actions/commands become not working?
Not in this case. With Tether, you can "always" (so long as they are willing the to shovel the cash) convert 100K USDT for 100K USD on tether.io. What we often see here in terms of the "price" fluctuating, actually has to do with Exchange prices, and not the tether.io price. Exchange prices are based on dozens of competing mechanics, most notably, the depth of their order book. Since its just people trading with people, you need buyers and sellers on both sides. But if market sentiment plummets, you might have more sellers than buyers who are looking to exit out of the market quick and are willing to take a 1-3% hit to do so, instead of going to tether.io and actually getting the full amount.

Until its "proven" that tether.io doens't have the assets (which they obvi dont), AND they stop allowing the 1:1 swap on their platform, UDST will always "be" pegged at $1USD.
No, They can't seem to guarantee that the new tech I start learning today will still be around in a year... the rate at which they kill products and services is just frustrating and I'll skip, thanks.
Thanks, it's very cool :)
Right the idea here is that somebody paid 100k to Tether for the tokens, those got into the market, being sold around, in the end I buy for 97k, then I hand those back to Tether for 100k - transaction feels (which would be ~250 USD). So in theory at the end of this whole operation Tether is up 250 USD

Though I think the cynical view for Tether stuff is that they have not been doing things by the book here and either they have been siphoning deposits, or printing Tether on their end. But hey, if they still got big deposits no problem for your original trade right?

There is also the point that once trust in this ecosystem erodes, there will be tremendous pressure on Luna as people try to get rid of both their Luna and their Terra, and whatever you did to achieve 7 may just suddenly disappear. The spiral that's happening now.

And what coins do is in effect marketing for all other coins. If one stablecoin crashes, trust in others will erode.
This looks really nice! And congrats on the grant!

I'm continuing to use my own blogs/websites (not as much as social media, as much as an information store for myself as for my tiny audiences, not monetised) as an insurance; we have zero control over the data we post on any popular social media platform.

A lot of people are using this post and news to air their completed unrelated grievances on crypto and Tether... but you are completely right. This is non-news unless the Tether company starts failing to deliver $1 for a tether.

It isn't? NVIDIA just moved the vast majority of their drivers into the firmware, and now they are getting to act like they've done a great thing, when in reality they're just using the firmware backdoor to circumvent the kernel driver license gates.

Tether is back up to around $0.98, but volume is high. Somebody is pouring cash into Tether to support the price.

Similar over at UST. Price is back up to $0.60, but volume is far above normal.

Remember, with a stablecoin, there is no upside to holding. Any indication of risk means it's time to get out. Even if Tether has enough reserves to get the price back to $1, there will be substantial cashing out.

That's why a stablecoin has only two stable points: 1 and 0.
I think another aspect of it is that professors at research universities don't view teaching as their main vocation but as something they have to do (their "real" job is research/writing papers). I think lecturers that focus on teaching can probably be better at it, especially at undergrad level where you're anyway pretty far from the state of the art.
Honest question: Is this a new trend, mixing up the real problem (greenhouse gases) with a detouring twist? Imho it should read: "Greenhouse gases cause more Hurricanes then we thought, masked by pollution until now"
Still, 'smart' is usually not buying at ATH (even a local high) or not having a stop loss if you don't have time to stare at your screen all day and night. I don't know how many people 'woke up' to a 90% dump in terra and were too late to act; that's not smart and you don't have to be blackrock smart for that. This is not exclusive to cryptocurrencies of course; I don't have any, but I do trade other more traditional assets as total amateur.

But yes, I agree with you; they will be taking most the winnings because it's their job. That doesn't mean you cannot make money as an amateur. The real naive people can just send their money directly to the Blackrock bank account; saves a lot of stress.
You're going from 'shitcoin' to 'scam'. Bitconnect was somewhat relevant/ significant. The 100th meme dog coin is not.

You are welcomed here in Prague, Czechia - absolutely zero COVID restrictions (back to normal pre pandemic) everywhere including border entry/exit.

Normally I'd not be inviting tourists into this tourist hell (4th most visited city in Europe), but anyone watering down numbers of Ukrainian economic migrants is welcomed, I had to stop going to nearby mall because it's flooded with Ukrainian/Russian speaking people and you have problem to hear Czech or other language.
Why? It’s backed by Ycombinator. They’ve got plenty.
This more or less seals Finland applying for NATO membership. However, adding new members requires unanimous consent from all existing members, so it's not guaranteed to be smooth sailing. Russia is also obviously deeply unhappy about this and will do its best to disrupt the process via direct and indirect pressure.
‘I lost my life savings’ Bitcoin Collapse
Perhaps this is a silly reasoning, but my first impression is that a that a good jit compiler requires a fast compiler, so golang meet that requirement better than Rust, obviously Rust has a more advanced/featured compiler but in a jit compiler for ruby the optimizations are going to be mostly for short parts of code (no heavy math or long loops), so the jit could try to find places where the code use vectors, maps or list of same type elements to avoid having to determine the dynamic type. That is, my impression is that in web related tasks the greater benefit comes from detecting parts of code that can be transformed in static type code and then apply a fast compiler to that part.
But perhaps Rust was chosen by its security model rather than by its performance, in which case I agree. But I think that a variant of go using borrow/owner var semantic could be the best track to construct a great YJIT.
UST had like 10 cents of reserves in other cryptos for every UST. Is that substantial?

Sorry, I missed this question last week.

A short way to explain is that every participant of a layer-2 system locks funds into a smart contract, which gives you a balance in the system. The off-chain system them keeps its own separate accounting and settlement mechanisms, which do not require the blockchain and can be done cheaply. You only need to use the blockchain when you want to withdraw your funds from the layer-2 back to the main chain.

The different systems have their own approach for this off-chain tracking of the funds, but the important characteristic of all of them is that the users are in control of the funds at all times. Unlike sidechains, l2 systems all have mechanisms for users to prove the ownership of the funds and are allowed to unilaterally withdraw.
Exactly. Its not even like it "technically" depegged. Just because two ppl on the internet happened to agree to trade it for $0.95 instead of $1 on tether.io doesn't mean its value isn't actually $1.

Mind you, I'm no fan of USDT, obviously not backed by anything but hopes and dreams, but lets at least be accurate when we shit on things :)
That is rather apt. And mirroring Russian claims to disarm nazis in Ukraine and take over the government in 3 days. Only to get sanctioned into economic doom, and have Ukraine forever supplied with the teeth of all western nations. It did not work out so well. We are all rooting for spinal cancer.
Title is not quite right, this seems to be the President and Prime Minister recommending to the parliament that Finland should join NATO. The final decision is not made.

Didn't Russia (last month) threaten Finland/Sweden with 'consequences' should they decide joining NATO? Wondering what would those be. Putting both countries in a new list of 'very unfriendly countries'?
This article doesn't really lay out what - from a customer perspective - would class heroku as a sinking ship? The DevEx is still great, the alternatives are either borderline ridiculous (K8S is a laughably complex beast in comparison), or not fully cooked yet (fly.io, render etc.) I know that it's expensive, but it's nowhere near the price of having an engineer manage cloud infrastructure full-time.

I would love Heroku to have more reasonably priced compute. I'm desperately hoping that genuine competition in this space will pressure Heroku into sorting this. But the frequent refrain recently that Heroku just doesn't match with my experience in recent years. When the alternative PaaS solutions offer a comparable postgres service, then we'll have a genuine competitor. Until then, I'm not sure I really grok the level of disdain for it that's been on HN recently.
Yeah it's a tricky one. It seems obvious that "digital money" is going to be very useful in a lot of ways, and in the future is almost certain to appear.

There was a very brief period when bitcoin might have been the start of such a thing. When companies were adding support for it, and people were spending 200+ bitcoin on pizza, actually doing useful things like transferring money internationally, etc.

But these days? It's all speculation, gambling, and HODLing to the moon.

Maybe in the future we'll have a cryptocurrency which is actually usable as a currency, spent, and being in circulation, not being mined and hoarded by people who expect 1000000% returns.
You could put the payload into the fragment part of the url (after the '#' symbol). This part is not passed to the server and is not subject to the limitations of intermediate systems you have no control over. I assume that the payload is only needed client-side anyways.
Ah missed this. Have updated now. Thanks!
Might be anecdotal, but I have noticed in the recent years that there is a lot of push to set education levels as low as possible, to make most students pass their education, while failing the ones who are above average.

"back in my days", we had some medium level of education, had additional classes (in some subjects) for the gifted ones (extra stuff) and for the almost-failing ones (repeating the stuff from normal classes), and it was still perfectly normal, that in a class of ~25, one or two students failed enough classes to repeat that year, especially in higher elementary-school years (elementary is ~7-15yo, so last 3 years of that) and in high school. Now it really seems that they went the "no student left behind" way.

This might be different in countries and areas where you can just enroll your kid into a "better" school (as we can do with highschools here, but not elementary ones).

I was one of the better students in my elementary school class, but when I went to a "better" highschool, the learning environment was A LOT better, mostly because the half-illiterate uninterested students (that somehow didn't fail enough times) didn't get enough points to get accepted to that school, and didn't cause problems those four years, even though grading on a curve meant a bit worse grades than before.
For anyone reading, none of these are comparable to Heroku. Yes, it’s a server in the cloud that can host your app. Heroku does much much more than that. I never want to think about DevOps or infrastructure. Like literally ever. I want to click a button and have everything work. That’s the power of Heroku. I don’t see any other product that does this 100% of the time like Heroku does.
You are still paying for the register allocator. That is not a trivial abstraction; it is wildly complex and carefully tuned, and there is ongoing research on how to do it better.

"when exiting positions in the market" this statement applies only if you exit using tether.io. You can always (if they have the cash on hand) swap 1 USDT for 1 USD.

They can't make that guarantee for <insert random exchange order book>. The reason it stays "mostly" at $1 on exchanges is because arbitragers are incentivized to do so.

But again, 1USDT is ALWAYS 1USD on tether.io.

So yes, the statement you quoted is accurate.

The choice to provide support seems to be on an app by app basis. I get support for YT Premium, Google Pay, My Pixel, and all of my Google Home products. But I can't get support for Google Chrome for example.

The support I do get is excellent. I don't think I've ever been in a chat queue for longer than 5 minutes. And often they can resolve my problem.

Anything involving a warranty or out of warranty repair those has been painful for me because of third party repairers.
I still haven’t get the approximate number of plugins, assume I checked the WordPres sitemap of plugins seem to be less than “tens of thousands” (excluded those that are already outdated)?
Not all UI state though. If you use the back button, you want something to happen that's similar to going back a page, not undo a tiny change on that page.

I say that navigation state should be in the URL.
I don't understand how you bodge a stable coin startup.

Surely you just mint the tokens in exchange for dollars, and then put ~50% of the dollars in zero risk investments (some form of treasury bonds), and then take the 0.5-1% interest per year as your revenue. Tether currently has $81b marketcap so you could be making $400-800m per year doing basically nothing?

I wonder whether cubits made of Bose-Einstein condensates would be more stable than what they are trying to make them out of now. It seems like decohering a collection of hundreds or thousands of atoms sharing a single state would take a lot more perturbation than single atoms or particles.
As far as I understand it the JIT compiler is written in Rust, that doesn't mean that it produces Rust. So the output of the JIT can be in assembly, C or something else that compiles fast and runs fast.
